Monster of the Day #3374

I learned another bitter lesson on Friday about how quickly Amazon Prime drops movies. So for anyone who hasn’t seen, Prime currently features both Blacula and Scream Blacula Scream (and, I think, Sugar Hill). So go over and watch those while they are still there.

  • Wait wait wait wait. We could have watched Blacula? Or Sugar Hill? And watched The Boy and the Pirates instead?

    Cruel Fate can be a cruel fate sometimes.

    I just saw Scream, Blacula, Scream! a couple of weeks ago. Surprisingly good sequel, although obviously adding Pam Grier can only be an asset to any movie. And, of course, William Marshall was marvelous.

    The world needed a blaxploitation Pirate film.

    Honestly, Iā€™d watch Pam Grier in a documentary about plywood.

  • I know I’ve told this story before, but I have a special little warm spot for *Scream, Blacula, Scream*, because it was the last thing I saw before shipping overseas to Kuwait a few years back. Now normally me seeing a bad movie before, well, anything at all, is in no way remarkable, but it was the circumstance under which I saw it that tickled me.

    I was doing the all day medical crap where you go from station to station making sure that you’re OK to actually go somewhere. After a ridiculous time, I was sitting in a queue at the final station reading while I waited for the provider to sign off on my packet. There was big TV on the wall to keep us from getting too restive, that I was ignoring when I heard a familiar voice and thought, “Is that William Marshall?” Seemed unlikely, but I looked up and sure as heck *SBS* was on the giant flatscreen. Apparently somebody in that office really liked Comet, and they happened to be showing it that day. It just made me happy to see an old favorite before I left.

  • When it isn’t a WIP, *The Muthers* is a blaxploitation pirate movie.

    Maybe you could get Will Smith to play Captain ‘Slappy’ McGee…
