Actor(s):  William H. Marshall, Don Mitchell, Pam Grier, Michael Conrad

Brief Description  Scream Blacula Scream (1973) is an American blaxploitation horror sequel directed by Bob Kelljan and produced by American International Pictures (AIP). Released on June 27, 1973, the film sees William Marshall reprise his iconic, tragic role as the African vampire Prince Mamuwalde (Blacula), starring alongside Pam Grier in one of her early defining horror roles.

Plot:
Following the death of a revered voodoo high priestess, her arrogant son Willis Daniels (played by Richard Lawson in his acting debut) expects to inherit leadership of the cult. Instead, the members elect his maternal stepsister, Lisa Fortier (Pam Grier), because of her pure heart and spiritual discipline. Banished and furious, Willis seeks absolute power and revenge. He purchases the preserved bones of the legendary vampire Prince Mamuwalde from a shady local practitioner. Using dark voodoo magic, Willis successfully reanimates the vampire. Willis expects the resurrected vampire to do his bidding, but Mamuwalde immediately overpowers him, bites him, and turns Willis into his undead minion.

Unlike standard horror monsters, Mamuwalde despises his bloodthirsty curse. Recognizing Lisa’s immense, clean voodoo power, he seeks her out—not initially to kill her, but to ask her to perform an intricate exorcism ritual to cleanse his soul of vampirism. As Mamuwalde tries to suppress his instincts, his hunger forces him to kill, building a growing army of undead followers in the urban center. This attracts the attention of a racist local lawman, Sheriff Dunlop (Michael Conrad), and Lisa's boyfriend, Justin Carter (Don Mitchell), a police pathologist. Lisa agrees to help Mamuwalde and initiates the complex curse-breaking ritual. However, the police raid the estate mid-ceremony, breaking the spiritual circle. Chaos ensues, leading to a violent confrontation where Mamuwalde's vampire army attacks, culminating in an unexpected, original resolution involving a voodoo doll.
