Blacula

In 1780, African prince Mamuwalde is turned into a vampire by Count Dracula after being refused help to suppress the slave trade. Two centuries later, Blacula rises from his coffin and begins attacking residents of Los Angeles, including interior decorators Bobby McCoy and Billy Schaffer. He becomes infatuated with Tina Williams, believing her to be the reincarnation of his deceased wife Luva. As Thomas, a pathologist for the Los Angeles Police Department, investigates the strange occurrences, he realizes that Blacula is the vampire responsible for the murders, and eventually leads him to Blacula's hideout where they engage in a final struggle.
