Ahhh, the greatest Blaxploitation horror film (to my knowledge at least) of all time! For those unfamiliar to Blaxploitation, it was a short lived craze of the 70's in which Black people were cast as the main roles, and Whitey was the chump. Of course, Blacks still talked Jive, wore funky clothes, and giant Afros ended up covering most of the screen! It all begins with a black king from Africa arguing with Count Dracula at his crib back in the Dark Ages. Kingy tries to lay the Smack down on Drac for trying to pick up his 'ho. Really pissed, Drac curses the King with eternal torment in the form of immortality as a vampire. He also curses him with his name, and calls him "BLACULA". Then, in the 70's, a couple of gay, would-be house owners end up disturbing Blac's sleep and he ain't none too pleased! Blac goes on a killin' spree, and manages to keep a low profile while playing "hide the salami" with the reincarnation of his dead wife. Blac's victims soon become his Jive-talkin' army of darkness and do some of their own chompin'! But , along comes the fuzz to ruin the party for everyone by setting all the vamps on fire! There were flaming Afros everywhere! Blac's wife is once again killed and Blac forces himself out into the sun , to be turned into a lump of burning flesh and maggots . So long Blac ! See you in SCREAM BLACULA SCREAM!.
