Summary:	"I curse you with my name - you will be Blacula, a vampire like myself. A living fiend." In 1815, the African Prince Mamuwalde (William Marshall) is cursed by Dracula (Charles Macauley) and sealed in a coffin doomed to be tortured by an unquenchable lust for blood. Until today! Billy (Rick Metzler) and Bobby (Ted Harris), two decorators, purchase Blacula's coffin along with several other antiques from Castle Dracula. While inspecting the merchandise, they unwittingly release Blacula and become his first victims. At the decorators' funeral, Blacula spots Bobby's friend, Tina (Vonetta McGee), and is instantly taken by her striking resemblance to his beloved wife, Luva, who was killed by Count Dracula. From that moment on Blacula lives only to possess Tina. But time is running out. Blacula's insatiable thirst for blood has left a trail of victims. Will Tina be another victim of the terrorizing Blacula?!
