Drive-In Mob Tonight!: Blacula and Dr. Black and Mr. Hyde

In a colorblind society, Blacula and Dr. Black would simply be citizens who just so happened to be monsters. In this society, however, their films are considered examples of the blaxploitation genre –- which, for the uninitiated, are films that take the titles of other films and substitute “black” for all of the pertinent words. Thus Shaft becomes, simply, Black, and Last Year at Marienbad becomes Black Black at Blackity-Black.

Anyway, tonight’s Drive-In Mob starts with Blacula at 8pm EST, followed, at roughly 9:30pm EST, by Dr. Black and Mr. Hyde. Shockingly, I have not previously seen Dr. Black, so you can bet that I’ll be on hand for that one. Both films are available from YouTube, and you can both follow and tweet along with us at home by using the Twitter hashtag #DriveInMob. As always, please see the Drive-In Mob site for all of the official, Drive-In Mob approved details. Hope to tweet you there.

    Well I'm in a totally wack timezone, and much of the internet is geo-blocked anyway (re: streaming movies that I would never have the bandwidth to stream, anyway). But I am very excited about this movie Black Black at Blackity-Black.

    I believe that was the official Italian title of Last Year at Marienbad.

PLEASE NOTE: I do not sell, trade, upload or otherwise provide copies of the films that I review on this site, so please don’t ask.

Please, no questions about where to download films or subtitle files. If you are asking about the availability of a reviewed film on DVD, please make sure that you have first conducted a simple search of the film’s title on Google, eBay, and Amazon. That usually works for me.

Everyone else, BRING IT ON!
