Blackenstein (VHS) – Blaxploitation Horror – William Levey & John HartA wild collision of blaxploitation and classic monster horror, Blackenstein is a notorious 1973 cult film that puts a distinctly ’70s spin on the Frankenstein story.Directed by William A. Levey, the film follows Eddie Turner, a Vietnam veteran whose life takes a horrific turn after an experimental procedure transforms him into a monstrous creation. John Hart—best known as the star of the original The Lone Ranger television series—appears in the film, adding another fascinating piece of vintage pop-culture history.With its blaxploitation aesthetic, mad-scientist storyline, outrageous monster makeup, and grindhouse sensibility, Blackenstein has become a sought-after curiosity among collectors of obscure horror and exploitation cinema.Product Details* Title: Blackenstein* Format: VHS* Original Release: 1973* Genre: Horror / Blaxploitation / Exploitation* Director: William A.
