SCREAM BLACULA SCREAM

After Voodoo queen Mama Loa dies, her cult members vote adopted apprentice Lisa Fortier as her successor, leaving her arrogant biological son Willis outraged. Seeking revenge, he buys the bones of Prince Mamuwalde, otherwise known as the vampire Blacula, from Ragman, the former shaman of the voodoo cult and uses voodoo to resurrect the vampire to do his bidding. However, while it brings Blacula back to life, he bites Willis upon awakening. Willis now finds himself in a curse of his own doing: made into a vampire hungering for blood and a slave to the creature he sought to control.

Meanwhile, Justin Carter, Lisa's boyfriend and an ex-police officer with a large collection of acquired African antiquities and an interest in the occult, begins to investigate the murders caused by Mamuwalde and his growing vampire horde. Justin meets Mamuwalde at a party Justin hosts to display the African collection pieces before being moved to the university's museum. They discuss the artifacts, unbeknown to anyone else, that were from the region of Africa Mamuwalde hails, including pieces of jewelry once worn by his late wife, Luva.

Mamuwalde also meets Lisa at the party, and he discovers that she is naturally adept at voodoo. Lisa discovers Mamuwalde's true nature after her friend Gloria falls victim to his bite and is resurrected as a vampire who nearly feeds on her, if not for Mamuwalde's intervention. He later asks her for help to cure him of his vampire curse. Mamuwalde, aware of police interest to apprehend Lisa, orders his minions to safeguard the house to avoid any distractions, threatening harsh consequences to those who defy his orders.

Justin, with the help of L.A.P.D. Lieutenant Harley Dunlop pulls together several other cops to go to the Mamuwalde residence to investigate the recent deaths. While Lisa is performing the ritual to cure Mamuwalde, using a voodoo doll fashioned to look like him, Justin, Harley, and their men raid the house, fighting against Mamuwalde's vampire minions, which include several of their friends. Willis is killed during this scuffle. Justin manages to find Lisa and Mamuwalde and interrupts the ritual. Lisa refuses to help Mamuwalde after she witnesses him kill the other police officers, including Harley, in the house in a fit of rage.

After realizing that Lisa is no longer willing to help him, Mamuwalde rejects his human nature and attacks Justin when he calls the prince by his real name, to which Mamuwalde insists his name is Blacula. Just as Justin was about to be bitten, Lisa stops Mamuwalde by stabbing his voodoo doll with a wooden arrow. As she continues to stab the doll, Mamuwalde screams out in agony.

During a chaotic raid, Lisa attempts a voodoo ritual to cure Mamuwalde, but after he kills the police in rage, she attacks his voodoo doll. The film ends with Blacula writhing in pain, his fate left ambiguous.

The ending underscores the tragic duality of Mamuwalde, caught between his desire for redemption and the violent nature of his curse. Lisa’s decision to harm him through the voodoo doll symbolizes the final breakdown of any remaining trust or hope for his salvation. The ambiguous conclusion leaves viewers questioning whether the curse is truly broken or if evil merely changes form, aligning with the genre's penchant for unresolved supernatural threats.
