Typical product of Wayne's Batjac productions from this period. Routine characters and casting with the sort performance Wayne would seem able to phone in by this time. Better were the roles where Wayne was required to stretch himself a bit, such as "The Cowboys". Don't get me wrong, there are those viewers who just love Wayne in this sort of production and role, but for this viewer, they were well down the scale of Wayne's better films. One could tune into a season of "Gunsmoke" from this period and find many episodes that worked better than this film. But there you had a Western saga truly firing on all cylinders. Many familiar faces from Wayne's production company and TV from the period.

Scream Blacula Scream
(1973)
VERY UNDERRATED EXCELLENT FOLLOW-UP
14 February 2004
It seems like this clever sequel has been rather commonly dismissed as inferior over the years. Well, I just watched the film for the very first time with the new DVD release. What a surprise! It is every bit as good as Blacula, very atmospheric, some nice comic camp balanced with the horror...very refreshing! This film is highly superior to any of the non gothic latter day Hammer vampire films and among the best of AIP's later output. I would go to say, that those who dismiss "Scream, Blacula, Scream", don't really get, nor really care for this particular genre, from this particular period. If you like Vampire films, particularly of this era, and more, enjoyed "Blacula", by all means SEE THIS FILM ON THE NEW DVD! Nice title sequence.
