Choosing to have him willingly walk into the sun when he's lost Luna/Tina again for good is a beautiful choice. He dies as a heartbroken man in love, not the monster they made him. Enormous praise for William Marshall as one of the best Dracula to ever grace the screen!

People mention this move as being black sensationalism when in reality it uses it as clickbait to get people interested and actually shows an interesting story. Both Blacula and the main character guy were black but they were both pretty cool and badass. The movie had a bunch of other stereotypes but I think it really tried to play it serious

Black-exploitation..... I disagree, all races use violence and drugs, even depicted in many movies. White-exploitation.... next time i watch taxi driver and godfather, fuck it, even fight club lol. Even that term i disagree with. Movies are art. Whole point is, regardless of views, black cast... So i don't see how that's anything other than empowering lol. Edit: Also an honor to have an amazing character such as Dracula being played by a black man. If anything if racists were evolved, they'd have a problem giving such a kick ass concept to someone of that background. I mean, i'm not buying that it was made as a movie to put down black people. Beyond crazy for anyone to think that. No way people were more woke and PC back in 1972 compared to now. Black exploitation, pfffft.

​@@Prof.Pwnalot The fact you make a comparison of blaxploitation and "white-exploitation" at all is foolish. You very obviously don't understand the subtly of racism and how systemic racism works. You're a troll, but you must be educated regardless. "So I don't see how that's anything other than empowering lol." Would you say the same about forced bondage then? Consisting of ONLY black people? Is slavery empowering? Blaxploitation films are often riddled with stereotypes and harmful misconceptions. They were made to appeal to specific audiences in mind and made with low budgets to make a quick profit. The problem is not that black people are in a movie, as you claim it to be. The problem was that they were in this KIND of movie, cheap, without care. This was released in 72, but all throughout the 70s we have movies such as Alien, A clockwork orange, Star wars.. Where's all the black characters in those movies? They weren't getting hired for them. Your bait is not intriguing nor in the littlest sense funny. The sadder part is no one took it, so now you're left with only this to read. Go back to the 4chan forum from whence you came.

That's interesting, I didn't think of it to that extent. I had initially took it on a practical level that dressing a white body is probably different than a black body; as far as shading the realistic look of living flesh over dead flesh and setting the hair and what not. But that aspect IS directly due to segregation; with no interchanging of clients to gain experience, the only morticians who could accurately dress a specific colored body was a mortician of that specific color.

I think it depends what he's referring to when he says that. Alot of movies and shows nowadays don't approach social/political issues with grace, but instead shove them down your throat or present them in a negative, counter-productive way, (offering no real solutions or examples of how to be, but instead yelling at the people, usually in the form of a blanket statement, that they suck). If any criticism for modern movies/shows is dismissed because "shows and movies have always had politics in them," then it kind of misses the point of the criticism in the first place. Approaching these issues as black and white, metaphorically-speaking, is a bad thing to do, and shoving messages down the throat of the audience without nuance, or by interrupting the story, is a bad way to approach those topics. There are definitely some who are against any social issues being presented whatsoever. If those are the people who James is referring to, then I agree with that.

It's awesome that you recognize them as "just another fun movie with cool kills" as well as acknowledge them to be influenced by the experiences of the people and subject to the injustices of the industry. I love to see someone outside our demographic value it as "normal"/regular culture (because it is!) without erasing it's importance or impact. And you bring them back with a younger audience.

@@sebsignat8286 Sebs, from all my James and Chelsea (Dead Meat creators and main stars through this channel and their other forms of entertainment, ie podcast, etc) listening and watching, I'm fairly certain they pick films based on two things: Input by fans through emails/comments and James' own desire to do certain films, like this one in Blacula. He's done kill counts based solely on fans outpouring and constant badgering for certain films and other times he's done films based only on what he likes. It's just a mish-mash of all these things combined. I personally love it as we get great historical lessons like Blacula, but also the main franchises as well. It really helps to keep things fresh. edit - to add also that James has talked about how he sometimes struggles doing the long running franchises that never were that popular (like Leprechaun franchise,) because they don't bring in a lot of views, which hurts the channel. He still does them, but I'm sure there's a strategy behind when to release Kill Counts that he knows might not get the most clicks. There has to be major consideration within the Dead Meat team about this as well.

Just want to give James and crew props for venturing outside your comfort zone in terms of cinematic eras. I know you’ve expressed trepidation about covering areas like international film, but the Kill Counts for this and Dracula have such great historical footnotes and should give you confidence to branch out (wherever you desire). I know modern American movies are likely always going to drive more views, but for whatever it’s worth, I love the content related to vintage and obscure films and a lot of us appreciate the work you put into that research. It doesn’t go unnoticed.

In a world where hip hop is the most dominant music genre, and black lives matter riots seem to rule the country, I wholeheartedly disagree that blacks are "still fighting to be included". Maybe that comes from the fact that I live and breathe hip hop. Hip hop is my culture, and there's thousands of rappers telling their stories to a mainstream audience. As well as the very casual racism thrown at whites in rap culture, id say blacks have undeniably left an incredible mark on the world that will last for centuries

James, why am I laughing my tale off at this Kill Count? I screamed when you were talking about Juanita running down the hall (amazing memorable shot) and you said 'I told you sometimes I can get a little crazy'. Clearly that was from 'Don't Be a Menace To Society While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood'. You got some flavor James and I like it!

Loved your energy and respect for the source material both within the film and out. While you said you can't cover all sequel, the energy for this was great and I hope you come back to Scream Blacula Scream some day.

The "who scored the kills" breakdown is probably my favorite 'extra statistic' during The Numbers since you started introducing them. I understand it's not always useful in movies where almost all of the kills are the work of one character (such as slashers), or comparing films to earlier entries in their franchise (... again, like slashers). But I would love to see you use it again when it fits.

Big shout out to exposing the "kill your gays" trophe! But I can kinda excuse it in this movie since it's a 70's movie, their deaths serve as a story/plot point, is in a genre known for stereotyping characters and sometimes you should take any exposure as positive than none.
