Blacula
In 1780, African prince Prince Mamuwalde (William Marshall) goes to Transylvania to seek the help of Count Dracula (Charles Macaulay) in suppressing the slave trade. Dracula refuses, however, and insults Mamuwalde by making a pass at his wife, Luva (Vonetta McGee). After a scuffle with Dracula's minions, Mamuwalde is bitten by Dracula and transformed into a vampire. Dracula then curses him with the name "Blacula" and imprisons him in a sealed coffin in a crypt hidden beneath the castle, while leaving Luva to die.
