Storyline
Plot Summary |
An 18th century African prince is transformed into a vampire by Count Dracula, cursed with the name Blacula, and entombed in Dracula's castle after he fails to convince the Count to support him in his cause to end the slave trade. Two hundred years later, a pair of gay interior decorators transport his coffin to L.A., where he awakes with an unquenchable thirst for human blood. As Blacula pursues a woman who resembles his long-dead wife, Luva, her brother-in-law, a pathologist, investigates the string of carnage that follows in the vampire's wake. Written by Molly Rose Steed |

Goofs | When 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. See more » |

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. See more » |
