Biography
A graduate of UCLA's film school, Crain, unlike many of the so called, "L.A. Rebellion" filmmakers who made films of a deeply personal or political nature, his work consisted almost entirely of mainstream and genre driven works.
In 1972, he directed Blacula, which was one of the first theatrically released films directed by a black film school graduate. While largely ignored by critics, the film has become somewhat of a cult favorite.
