We knew only that they were different, to be feared, and in that fear was included the hostility of the powerless against the powerful, the poor against the rich, the worker against the employer; and the poorly dressed against the well dressed. This is Stamps, a small town in Arkansas, in the United States, in the 1930s. The population is almost evenly divided between black and white and totally divided by where and how they live. As Maya Angelou says, there is very little contact between the two races. Their houses are in different parts of town and they go to different schools, colleges, stores, and places of entertainment. When they travel, they sit in separate parts of buses and trains. After the American Civil War (1861—65), slavery was ended in the defeated Southern states, and many changes were made by the national government to give black people more rights.

Your reviewer, who is white, was embarrassed by the racism which forms the fiim's foundation. Blacula ought to be subtitled, "Amos n' Andy Grow Teeth." It was produced by a white man, directed by a white man, written by a white woman, financed by a white-owne- d company. It is a white man's idea of what would appeal to the mind of a black man. The idea is that if detective thrillers like Shaft and Cotton Comes to Harlem succeed in drawing black crowds and green money, why not see if a black vampire movie will do as well? If your big brother liked Shaft, you're supposed to dig Blacula.
