Elaine should have been sparred!

Hey everyone I just wanted to write a message on why I loved this film and the first one. Also just wanted to ask your opinions on a scene in the movie.

First off I remember watching Blackula when I was a little kid on old WOR channel nine. Every day around four o clock they would play old low budget horror movies. Why they would play horror movies at that time have no idea-probably because they knew kids would be coming home from school and tune in just like your wonderful writer! Ahh can remember watching classics like Shock Waves, Beware the Blob-100 times better then first, Monster Club, Crowhaven Farm, Deathmaster. Yeah fun times hell these films beat out out any of the so called new scary horror of today. I rarely ever see any good horror quality today all just the usual slasher or demon spirits cliches just to make money! Look at films like Lets scare Jessica to Death or Alice Sweet Alice man those movies creep me out today for crying out loud!

So yeah when I was older and saw Blackula I still enjoyed it. You have to admit for being low budget not having a lot to work with it was done well. The scary scenes were well scary! When I was a kid the scene that gave me the willies was when Mama attacked that girl in her apartment doing the pictures. I really liked the story to of how Mama came to visit Dracula in ending the slave trade. The way the two interacted really grabbed me. Thumbs up for the actor who played Dracula he had it down pat. William Marshall was great to could tell he took the role seriously. To bad the rest of the film wasn't that great. The whole black exploitation deal I never cared for. Would never see that today. It's one thing to try and take races culture style and get it through in a film but they went way over the line in these films just total stereotypes. The same way they portrayed the gays not for me.

I never knew there was a sequel to Blackula until a few years ago don't even know how I found out about it. I got it of Ebay and check it out. For a sequel wasn't that bad had some moments didn't try and be exactly like the first, I liked the whole voodoo deal. Plus there was some great laughs in it to I loved Willis he was the man hell wish he wouldn't have gotten bit. When he was going with Mama about his face, "do I look good man". He was turned into a vampire and Willis is chilling with him. Mama you sourpuss you could have left him go to the party! He said he was going to be back. Most of the other characters really didn't have much personality or depth to them.

Here's the question that needs to be addressed now! Why did Elaine have to go! She was to damn beautiful to become a ugly monster. Man that dress she had on whoo very classy elegant lady. Hell with taking her to a spooky house would keep her in the house for fear of every guy trying to take her from me! She really should have escaped got through the door at the last minute and jet. Go to the party and tell everyone what happened and no one believes her until when more people start missing attacks at night realize she was telling the truth. Hell she even goes to fight at the end to avenge her boyfriends death yeah Elaine kick Mamas ass hell wear your sexy dress that will distract the other male vampires, well that might distract the good guys to! When your done kicking black vampire butt get your butt over to my place cooking you some slammin grub lady!

One thing I wanted to ask about Louis and Elaine scene why did it take so long for Mama to attack? My guess is when he saw the car pulling up he figured I'll wait and see if they come in and get far enough away from the door there mine. If he would have tried to attack them right at the door they could have escaped and took off-don't think old Mama could drive! Mama was watching way high top of the stairs to see if they would wander around. I think if they would have just left at the front door they would have been okay. Honestly if I were were Louis I would have knocked a few times yelled if the door was open just stick my head in yell that's it were going. I wouldn't want to roam around someones else'is home that a friend was sitting for. You could tell they were weird about it. What the hell was Willis doing all that time? He didn't come out until after Louis was bitten maybe he was sleeping or smoking some good reef. Maybe once they were past the door Willis sunk out and locked it. Poor Elaine she should have just got something vase chair and smashed a window got to the car and haul ass! That's what I would have done. If Mama really wanted to get them he could have just told Willis to yell at one of the windows "hey guys come on up got some killer bud we can smoke before we hit the party". So much for the party!

Anyway that's about it hope you liked my message just having some fun. Anyone who wants to reply please do so any comments are good with me as long as there in good nature nothing mean or insulting won't deal with that. Yeah the Blackulas were interesting for their time low budget fun horror. The stuff you could get away with back then maybe the 70s weren't all cool and hip as people say they were. If I were black or gay back then probably wouldn't have been to thrilled seeing things like that. Oh well life goes on see you soon Elaine got your dinner almost finished! Don't worry no one will attack you at my place any vampires around got the stake, cross and garlic-hell can use it for veal marsala to! Peace
