Scream, Blacula, Scream (1973)
The 70's were a special time in cinema and cultures and themes began to merge and redefine themselves. This time also bred some of the most unusual horror movie icons and subgenres of any time: Dr. Phibes, Count Yorga, killer mutant babies, melting people, giant killer sharks, possessed children left and right.
In 1972, Blacula was introduced to the horror loving public and was a minor hit: it won the first ever Horror Movie of the Year award at the Saturn Awards. In 1973, Blacula would return with Scream, Blacula, Scream. William Marshall would return as the title character and he would bring with him the always fantastic Pam Grier.
The story would mix in Voodoo with Blacula thinking that Lisa, a local Voodoo Princess (Grier), can reverse the curse of vampirism. Lisa, falling for Blacula's charm, would race to cure the vampire king before the local cops or Blacula's vampire deciples can stop her.
So here it is ... Scream, Blacula, Scream
