Weekend Poster Feast 9

Weekend Poster Feast 9. "Diabolical Vampire! More dangerous than Dracula!" You'd better believe it! Blacula's one of my favorite vampire films of the '70s, if only because of William Marshall's grand performance. Here's a classically trained actor giving his all in a cheap AIP vampire picture, lending the accursed Mamuwalde a pathos and nobility other actors (even the "classically" trained") rarely approach. No slumming for Mr. Marshall. Click on the image on the left for a much larger version. 537K.
