William Marshall stars as Prince Mamuwalde in this blaxploitation reimagining of the Dracula legend. Cursed by Dracula himself in the 18th century and awakened in 1970s Los Angeles, Mamuwalde becomes a tragic romantic figure seeking his reincarnated love while battling his vampiric nature.

The two-film series blends Gothic horror with soul music, Afrocentric themes, and contemporary urban settings. Marshall's dignified, Shakespearean performance elevates the material beyond exploitation, creating a legitimate addition to vampire cinema.
