Synopsis:

”I curse you with my name – you will be BLACULA, a vampire like myself. A living fiend.” In 1815 the African Prince Mamuwalde is cursed by Dracula and sealed in a coffin doomed to be tortured by an unquenchable lust for blood. Until today!

Billy and Bobby, 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 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?!
