This will be our 2nd Annual Dracula/Blacula Ressurection event (last year: http://janbtucker.com/
Gyula Tamas Zubovicz aka Dracula
The last weekend in May 1997, Gyula Tamas Zubovicz (the Dracula of the Dracula Crime Family of the Hungarian Mafia) was murdered on the orders of Semion Mogilevich (head of the Red Mafiya), but he survived having his legs blown off, only to be poisoned in his hospital bed. However, nobody cut off his head, put a stake through his heart, or dragged him out into the sunlight. We had him buried in Transylvanian Earth, so he is just resting until he gets better.
William Marshall, the actor who played Blacula, died June 5, 2003. From Wikipedia:
William Marshall-Blacula, long time member of the Peace & Freedom Party, Black Panther supporter
Blacula is a 1972 American blaxploitation horror film produced for American International Pictures.[1] It was directed by William Crain and stars William Marshall in the title role about an 18th-century African prince named Mamuwalde, who is turned into a vampire and later locked in a coffin by Count Dracula. Two centuries later, the now-undead Mamuwalde rises from his coffin attacking various residents in modern day Los Angeles. Mamuwalde later meets Tina (Vonetta McGee), a woman he believes to be the reincarnation of his deceased wife Luva.
Blacula was released to mixed reviews in the United States, but was one of the top grossing films of the year. It was the first film to receive an award for Best Horror Film at the Saturn Awards. Blacula was followed by the sequel Scream Blacula Scream in 1973 and inspired a small wave of blaxploitation themed horror films.
Jan Tucker aka Tokar Janos Von Erdelyi’s Ring of Dracula
The only person who knew both Dracula and Blacula is Jan B. Tucker, who wears the ring of Dracula, cast from the original mold from which Bela Lugosi’s ring was made.
Join us for the annual Dracula party, which last year was renamed to include our brother Blacula for the 10th anniversary of his going to the land of dead, so that we can resurrect them into the land of the undead by consuming BBQ Blutwurst (Body of Dracula) and Vampire Label Red Wine imported from Transylvania (Blood of Dracula) as the sacraments of resurrection.
Additionally, my dear friend Bobbee Zeno who departed to the land of the dead recently, was also an old friend of Blacula and had been looking forward to attending this event, so we will honor Bobbee Z with a toast to his spirit in hopes that he communes with us at the party!
