    That's just what this movie was, a Scream. Its a pretty cool movie that's for sure, I was very surprised that this movie has been out this long and I have never seen it. Blacula is a African Vampire, guess there kind of different because when they hunger blood they turn into kin...( read more)d of wolf man look guy, but the other vampires look a little more like zombies. Anyway this movie is loaded with stars from the 1970 time frame. Its a fun movie, clean and you will enjoy the 70'ties cloths and backgrounds. No less then a 4 on this one, as far as the fright meter I wouldn't go above 2 as its more funny then scary. Enjoy, oh and its going in my collection.

    Just gave this a re-watch this afternoon, and I stand by my original assessment:

    An okay flick, though the look of the vampires owes a great deal to the Wolfman, what with the extra hair and heavy make-up.

    Pam Grier is radiant as always...

    Possibly worth a rental or a watch o...( read more)n cable.

    Centuries ago, the African prince "Mamuwalde" (William Marshall) was bitten by the king of the vampires "Dracula" (Charles Macaulay, who is seen in flashback footage from the first movie). Now, thanks to a voodoo spell, the African vampire returns to 1970's Los Angeles to claim m...( read more)ore victims and slaves who are doomed to serve him for eternity.

    "Blacula," a bigoted name given to him by "Dracula" in the first movie in this short series of blaxploitation movies, comes across a Voodoo princess (Pam Grier), whom he believes can free him from his curse by performing a Voodoo ceremony.

    However, the Voodoo princess, who is named "Lisa," is dating an African art dealer and ex-cop (Don Mitchell) who quickly realizes that the mysterious man with a very memorable voice is, in fact, a member of the undead. He tries to convince a local police investigator "Dunlop" (Michael Conrad) that "Lisa" was not the one who murdered a party-goer at a party he was hosting at his home, but it was a vampire. It takes a few more victims with the same two marks on their necks before "Dunlop" believes that the bodies that are piling up are victims of a vampire.

    There are some unique visuals in this movie when it comes to the unique makeup for the vampires. The undead in this movie are the only ones I know of depicted in a movie which gains hair on their face and hair before they attack their victims. Also, for some reason, the vampire's faces are the only parts that turn gray.

    There is also little blood in this movie. However, that may have been because of when the movie was released.

    The performances from the cast is quite good. However, Marshall's talent is the least used in this film. Although his performance is memorable, he isn't in the film that much despite being the title character.

    There are some plot holes in this movie, but they don't take away from the story too bad.

    Despite the plot holes, and the overuse of dated slang, Scream, Blacula, Scream might be a good addition to your video/DVD library or a pretty good first-choice rental.

    "Scream Blacula Scream" is a funky and fun to watch sequel to "Blacula" which brought Vampires into Blaxploitation cinema for the first time the year before. The success of "Blacula" also spawned a bunch of other Blaxploitation Horror flicks, such as "Blackenstein", "Ganja & Hes...( read more)s" or "Abby". The sequel basically has the same qualities and faults as the original. "Scream Blacula Scream" once again delivers a groovy 70s feeling, and William Marshall is more than cool in the eponymous role. What makes this film especially worthwhile is the casting of the queen of blaxploitation, the wonderful Miss "Coffy" and "Foxy Brown" herself, Pam Grier. I also liked how Voodoo was added to the plot. While it is again a cool film with a funky atmosphere "Scream Blacula Scream" is (as it was the case with the original) never creepy or scary in any way. Mamuwalde alias Blacula (William Marshall) is resurrected by voodoo. As in the first part, Mamuwalde is not really a villain, but merely a tormented soul, who cannot help but turn into Blacula to satisfy his thirst for human blood in order to survive. Soon after his resurrection, he runs into Lisa (Pam Grier) a beautiful young woman who has particularly powerful Voodoo-skills... What follows are 90 minutes of goofy, but entertaining fun in funky 70s style. This is certainly no highly memorable blaxploitation effort, but it is a good time-waster and definitely fun to watch.

    I want my time back. An awful movie I'd be hard-pressed to ever watch again. I don't get why the vampires appeared so hairy or were so slow moving (isn't that zombies? -_-). Irritating as all hell.
