The frist film is the better of the two but they are both silly and really fun. William Marchall really chews up the scenery.

Classic urban vampire camp,
By Jaime Contreras "donjaime" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blacula/Scream Blacula Scream (DVD)
I saw these films back when I was a teenager. The shock value is still there. The deep-bass voiced and renown stage actor, William Marshall (The Cartoon King on Pee-Wee's Playhouse) is regal as the African nobleman-turned-vampire. These films have a place in vampire film history. They are on the opposite end of the Universal classics. Both have value and should be watched.

This review is from: Blacula/Scream Blacula Scream (DVD)
I remember watching "Blacula" and "Scream Blacula Scream" a few years after they were released to the big screen. My Mom and Dad would not take me to see them at the local theaters. A late night Halloween special was my first experience with these fine films. While my younger family members used words like stink or awful or Dad you like this garbage, it made me happy to be born in the early '60s. What made these two films happen for me was I could still use my imagination. No naked people, no excessive gore or torture. Just a story line good acting for its time and a lot of fun. Who did not cheer for Blacula when that female cabbie got in his chops and he bites her right in the neck. How many of us wish we could do that when getting busted on? Then he tears out the throats out of the two street dudes who were going to roll him. Go Blacula, do it baby! Who thinks Pam Grier is still hot after all of these years? She can bite my neck anytime. It was scary then and it is appreciated now. While these films will probably not win any awards, it will be cherished by those of us while watching this movie remembered the great times we had when these flicks came out.Thanks 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

not only 'psych" and tarantino remembers "blacula",
By Michael P. Dobey - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blacula/Scream Blacula Scream (DVD)
These two movies would make a fine blu ray package! Blacula" is a awesome flick coming in the early seventies when the american cinema was letting loose with great new wave black films, made for black audiences often they still hold up today and this one was a crossover b movie sucess! It spawned a great sequel and it's as good as the first one. This one is similiar to the count yorga series of the same era and other cool seventies vamp flicks. This isn't twighlight but blacula in spite of it's exploitation name is a fine all around vamp flick. The lead character follows the standard sympathetic lonely vampire story in which he wants his long lost lover back , in the form of a woman from his 1970's present. he's a proud caharcter adn a prince no less! Who returns in the second movie to reek more havoc. In a recent episode of the hit series "psych" the guster character dresses up as 'blacula' and people can't remember him, the other character remarks "only quentin taratino remembers blacula'. This isn't the case as blacula is a excellent vampire flick with excellent acting. Many of us remember and love these movies, these are not camp movies in spite of the name. And truthfully the hair styles of the early 70's would match the hair styles of the 1500's - early 1800's anyways. so it's all good. The dvd's look ok, with not too much damage or dirt on them. These are good flicks if you like vamp movies. And the early 70's had some good vamp flicks for sure. Including vampire circus" among others.
