"Rising From the Echoing Corridors of Hell, An Awesome Being of the Supernatural - With Satanic Power of Sheer Dread. Chained Forever to a Slavery More Vile Than Any Before Endured..." "He's black! He's beautiful! He's Blacula!" "Terrific shocks!" - Leonard Maltin Urban action and fatal attraction give rise to a groove from beyond the grave in this funkadelic, fagadelic Soul Cinema sensation! The eternally cool William Marshall puts a fresh spin on the age-old legend of the vampire, condemned to wander the earth with an insatiable lust for blood. In 1780, African Price Mamuwalde (Marshall) pays a visit to Count Dracula in Transylvania, seeking his support in ending the slave trade. Instead, the evil Count curses his noble guest and transforms him into a vampire! Released from his coffin nearly two centuries later by a pair of luckless interior decorators, Mamuwalde emerges as "Blacula," one strange dude strollin' the streets of LA on a nightly quest for human blood! PLAY TRAILER Blacula was a major hit, and was followed by a sequel, and several imitators, but very few films succeeded in replicating Blacula's success in combining traditional horror ethics with a blaxsploitation twist.
