Scream Blacula Scream (1973) | Movie Dumpster S5 E1

1 hour 20 minutes

With the passing of the Mama Loa, Lisa Fortier (Pam Grier) inherits the title of high Voodoo priestess. However, the Mama Loa's son, Willis (Richard Lawson), is not too happy about the decision. After consulting Torgo from 'Manos: The Hands of Fate' and given the bones of the cursed African prince, Mamuwalde – Willis ressurects Blacula (William Marshall) from his sanguineous slumber on the other side. Things quickly go south and it's up to Lisa, her boyfriend Justin (Don Mitchell), and some completely incompetent cops to stop Blacula's curse once and for all.

Will Pam Grier resist the vampires kiss and be able to cure Blacula via VooDoo? How much evidence is adequate to prove vampires exist? Why are these extra characters here except to beef up the kill count? Just exactly WTF happened with this horror movie? And even though we muse about possible improvements, we need this ending explained from a filmmaking stand point. It's not the best vampire movie, but it's certainly not the worst! Grab your Cheetos Bag of Bones and your best cape as we bite into this early 70s vampire movie sequel to the Blaxploitation classic, Scream Blacula Scream!
