Tensions Off - Camera[edit]
Blackula and Black Dracula had an ongoing feud at the time and tensions were high. What started as a rivalry bacame almost a war. One day during shooting, Blackula released Shaquida, a trained shark that was to be used in the film, into the wild. Two days later several shark attacks were reported in nearby Wisconsin. The movie was sued by families of the deceased and shooting was postponed. The film's casting director saved the day by hiring Oprah Winfrey, increasing the production value greatly. Although she later hired Whoopi Goldberg, which decreased the production value by even more due to her egregious lack of discernable eyebrows. Mona Lisa was then hired for the role, but she was brutally mauled by a bear for the same reason.
