I'm a vampire purist. I prefer vampire movies where the vampire IS afraid of crosses, CANNOT come out in the daytime, and is generally scarey. Vampires are not cool surfer dudes like in the Lost Boys nor misunderstood hemopheliacs like in Blade. They are Satanic beings.
Blacula has it all. I saw this one at a drive-in in the early 70s (a double feature with Frogs) and I fell in love with it even though I was just a kid and had to close my eyes several times cos I was so scared. In the 1500s, Count Dracula gets p***ed at an African Count and they argue about slavery. Next thing you know, Dracula dubs the African "Blacula" and bites him. Great stuff!
Also, this film has one of the more unique endings to any vampire movies. It's original all-around.
