"Scream Blacula Scream". A little deep, but I managed.

The blaxploitation genre of the early seventies gave us some unique viewing; stereotyping African-Americans to the max. Afros that blocked the sun, bell-bottoms, cool hats, "I'm gonna git you sucka" vernacular, and racist honkies against the brothers. It gave us Shaft, Superfly, Car Wash, and whole bunch of social perspectives.
And some of it was pretty bad. The stereotyping was so thick it couldn't be cut with a chainsaw.
Here we have a sci-fi/horror twist on the usual blax themes; the second of a trilogy starring William Marshall as the vamp with the beautiful baritone voice, brought back to life by a voodoo cult in da 'hood. Pam Grier is in this one, playing the cult leader.
I found another use for picket fence posts and crossbows. It's fun stuff, found on one of those cable back channels; Comet I think.
