Yeah, but I still think Old Dracula is hilarious.
For those that never saw it. Spoiler alert!!!
Old Dracula played by David Niven is trying to find a blood type to match his wife so he can bring her back from the dead.
His assistants find a match but it’s a black woman, and when his wife is revived she turns black. And she immediately rises up and bites David Niven who also turns black.
The movie ends with Van Helsing about to drive a stake into Dracula’s heart. But Dracula turns around at the last second and stares at Van Helsing with his black face and blue eyes. That causes Van Helsing to hesitate and police grab Van Helsing and haul him away.
Ok, I admit, i did blackface twice in life. In 4th grade in the year of 1979 I did a book report on Pele’. My mom burnt a cork and applied the ash to my face. There is a photo of it somewhere my mom and dads house.
For the next time it was for The Bayonne bombers rugby football club Halloween party. Me and two teammates went as Run DMC. Three guys of Irish heritage walking down Wahsington St. In Hoboken NJ. with black face as RUN DMC. Everybody loved, it was diverse crowd.
We won the costume contest.
I also went as Mr. Clean, a chip and dale dancer, And twice as princess leigh; slave girl costume and once in the white gown with a wig.
Black face, so what?
Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.
