did you take inspo from the 1970s Blacksplotation film 'Blackula' for your Vampire!Peter fic? only asking because in your Vamp Peter fic his love interest was reincarnated-- the same thing was in Blackula too. its fine if you didn't know about it bc its an old kind've underground movie

I did not! I've never actually heard of the movie but I will be putting it on my to watch list!

I think reincarnation of an old lover is just a pretty common vampire/witchy trope that I implemented but I love all vampire media so I am definitely going to check out that film.

Week 5 Themes

"Blackula" and "Ganja and Hess" are two films that stand out in their unique approach to the black horror genre. Both films not only entertain but also delve into deeper themes relevant to African American experiences and history. "Blacula" is a film that reinterprets a classic vampire tale from the black perspective. Set in 1780, the film opens with an African prince named Mama Walde, who confronts Count Dracula about slavery. This historical setting allows "Blacula" to incorporate significant African history and themes of struggle against racism and bondage, distinguishing it from traditional horror films. The film's approach to storytelling is innovative, focusing not just on the horror elements but also on the portrayal of a black vampire story with a strong sense of black pride. This movie goes beyond the stereotypical portrayal of black characters in cinema, offering a narrative that is better in cultural context and relevant. "Ganja and Hess" shows a more contemplative narrative focusing on addiction, symbolized through the metaphor of blood. The film revolves around a scholar grappling with his addiction. The story is interwoven with themes of love and making the right decisions. In “Ganja and Hess” It focuses on Dr. Hess’s relationship with Ganja. Dr. Hess contemplates turning Ganja into a vampire. Unlike "Blackula," "Ganja and Hess" is a slow-paced movie using the vampire theme to explore deeper issues related to addiction, heritage, and personal choices. This ties the addiction to African blood, linking the character's personal struggles with broader themes of African heritage and lineage.Both films contribute significantly to the black horror aesthetic. This genre redefines traditional horror narratives, infusing them with themes of racism, bondage, African history, and the exploration of lineage. In doing so, these films not only provide artistic entertainment but also provoke thought and discussion about important cultural and historical issues. "Blackula" particularly stands out for its focus on black empowerment and the effects of racism. By looking at the horror genre through a black lens, the film combines the narrative of a vampire story with a powerful commentary on the struggles against racism and the importance of preserving African lineage. The film’s depiction of a powerful black vampire challenges traditional stereotypes in movies and offers a narrative that resonates with the black audience, celebrating our culture and history. "Ganja and Hess" uses the vampire story as a metaphor to dive into complex themes like addiction, heritage, and identity. The film's focus on African blood and the protagonist's addiction to it symbolizes a deeper longing for connection to African heritage, pointing to a narrative that goes beyond the typical horror trope. "Blackula" and "Ganja and Hess" are more than just horror films; they are artistic expressions that explore and celebrate African American history and identity. These films share important contributions to the black exploitation genre, offering unique perspectives and narratives that highlight the struggles, history, and pride of the African American experience.

Blacula, o Dracula Negro - baseado no filme de mesmo nome.

O Monstro da Lagoa Negra - Não importa a subespécie todos tendem a se apaixonar facilmente por humanos.

João o Lobisomem - Ele sempre se questiona o por quê dele sentir aversão à prata.

Árvore dos suicidas - Por alguma razão as pessoas tendem à ter mais pensamentos suicidas perto desta árvore.

Mal Antigo - Acredita-se que ele seja um aglomerado de almas corrompidas, o que explicaria sua múltipla personalidade. Muitos tentaram subjugá-lo, mas no sempre acabam se tornando escravos mortos-vivos.

Finally figured out how to make a Mistoffelees design I’m happy with! Apparently the key ingredient to making him feel like Misto instead of just a random black cat—-sparkles ✨💖

He joins the Cats the Musical customs gang! Next up (and the only other cat I currently have plans for)—Tugger, of course.

That’s Macavity and Victoria next to him :3

They are all customized Fabulous Felines, one of my favorite obscure 80s toy lines. I have the full original set (minus that darn possibly-nonexistent playset), and am slowly working on accumulating extras when I find them at good prices for this Cats customs project.
