Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film was popular in the U.S., debuting at #24 on "Variety"'s list of top films. It eventually grossed over $1 million, making it one of the highest grossing films of 1972.
- GoofsWhen Dr. Gordon Thomas and Lt. Jack Peters go to the warehouse and are fighting the vampires, they pull oil lamps out of a box and begin throwing them at the vampires like Molotov cocktails. When the lamps break, they burst into flames like Molotov cocktails. None of the lamps are lit when they are thrown, however, so when they break, they should not have burst into flames.
- Quotes
Dracula: You shall pay, black Prince. I shall place a curse of suffering on you that will doom you to a living Hell. A hunger, a wild, gnawing, animal hunger will grow in you, a hunger for human blood. Here you will starve for an eternity, torn by an unquenchable lust. I curse you with my name. You shall be... Blacula! A vampire like myself. A living fiend! You will be doomed never to know that sweet blood which will become your only desire.
- Alternate versionsWhen the film was originally released in theaters in the UK, the BBFC made cuts to secure an "X" rating. All of these cuts were waived in 1998 when it was granted a "15" certificate for home video.
