"He's Bad, He's Black, He's.....BLACULA" was just one of 1972s many taglines for the most Classic of Blaxplotation Films "Blacula". A "King" among " B" Movie Titles, it starred William Marshall in the lead role. With acting along par With A 3rd Graders first school play, and sets that would make Ed Wood blush, "Blacula" is still well worth a watch, if for nothing else - the laughs. Set in the 1790, an African Prince is set on a diplomatic mission to Transylvania to meet Count Dracula. The Count bites and turn our Prince into a vampire, sealing him a coffin. Discovered in 1970s Los Angeles and released, He falls in love with a spitting image of his long dead Wife. Making a few Minions along the way, The Los Angeles Police and others eventually trap Blacula on a roof just before daylight. In short time, Blacula is turned to dust. A 1973 sequel "Scream Blacula, Scream" was even worse. But Marshall is still great in His suave style complete with Bela Lugosi opera suit and cape!
