    And there was the classic blaxploitation movie
    _Blacula_.

    I'll have to check into it further, but I think there's a genre of black horror out there in books and movies. Snoop Dogg starred in a movie called _Bones_, but I don't know much about this movie. Could be a theme that black authors and/or film makers have experimented with. Brandon Massey comes to mind as an author.
