Scream, Blacula, Scream (1973)

Human jealousy, a sexist lust for power and movie voodoo all combine to bring Prince Mamuwalde back from the dead.
The dark and stormy nights help push to the fore the fact that Scream is as much a vampire film as it is a blaxploitation film and it isn't going to compromise on either aspect. The former is maintained by a number of dramatically creepy and menacing attacks on victims, whereas the latter is achieved perhaps best of all during a hard-hitting scene on the streets when the vampire, again played by William Marshall, meets a couple of pimps.
