Compare Blacula and Dracula. What key changes does the latter film make to reflect racial issues in the 1970s and to speak to “blaxploitation” audiences? How does race change the interpretation of the vampire? What stereotypes does the film attack and which ones does it reinforce? Tie these questions together into a specific argument about the two films- try to focus on the nuances or most culturally significant differences rather than the obvious ones.
