Resumo

Abstract This article considers Blacula (1972) as a radical self-reflexive critique of blaxploitation films. Blacula signifies on early 1970s blaxploitation and horror genres, reverses conventional tropes of monstrosity, and presents a romantic monster that challenges white patriarchal heteronormative authority while suggesting commercial blaxploitation films are complicit with power structures.
