 Surprisingly for a blaxploitation movie of this time period and despite its title, "Blackenstein" features little, if any, overt displays of racism, with even the angry tirade the white orderly directs toward the bedridden Eddie motivated more by bitter jealousy about not being able to join the army than any form of bigotry.Several sequels were announced by various producers, including "The Fall of the House of Blackenstein" and "Blackenstein III" by one and "Black Frankenstein Meets the White Werewolf" by another, but were never made.
