DAY 16
BLACULA (1972)the year is 1780 and our main character, prince mamuwalde, along with his wife, seeks the the help of count dracula in ending the slave trade. the count plays the c
unt and turns our prince into a vampire, cursing him with the name 'blacula', then sealing him in a coffin inside a sealed vault. then throws the prince's missus in there to die listening to her husbands screams of torment.
fast forward to 1972. the prince, blacula, is accidentally released from his tomb by a couple of very camp, antique dealers who have just got a job lot deal of the now dead, count dracula's, possessions, incuding blacula's coffin.
after quenching his century's long thirst for blood, blacula hits the streets. it isn't long before he meets a woman looking the dead spit of his long dead wife. he then spends pretty much the rerst of the film winning her love whilst turning a few people along tyhe way.
william marshal is great as the count, coming across very much as a sympathetic figure, a victim as much as his own victims. 4/5
the two lead girls were gorgeous too. pity no nudity
