Count Xigeous' Halloween Bloodbath
|
The people of Renrut, a small town in Transylvania, love to watch horror movies together. They even produce a TV show for that purpose. It debuts on Halloween!
They find a tenth-rate vampire to host the show. (He's had thirteen and a half wives and needs the money.) He's a big Al Lewis fan and is delighted that the first movie the show will air is "My Grandpa is a Vampire" starring Lewis, himself!
The house is filled with many crummy puppets. The Count calls them the "Cruppets." They watch the movie with him. They add to the show - except for Clark the Grasshopper. He's not scary nor Halloweenie at all. He keeps insisting on taking part in the show despite the Count's protests.
Crabbs the Clown serves as Camera-Cruppet. He does a good job but still freaks everyone out with his demonic clown laugh.
They watch the movie.
Al Lewis plays "Grandpa Cougar." He's a vampire living the human life. But his grandson and his friend suspect something supernatural is going on (like the mole on Grandpa's cheek that comes and goes as it pleases).
Soon, the Count is interrupted by a visit from his present girlfriend, Karasma. She gives him a truth statue as a house warming gift. Needless to say, they immediately have an argument and break up.
The Count gets another interruption from his manservant, Eegah. He's been sent out to pick up some popcorn (a weakness of all vampires) but can't remember what the Count wanted.
The Count reminds him that he's supposed to pick up popcorn. But Eegah has difficulty doing even the simplest of tasks. He doesn't show up any time soon.
The Count's son, Himey, is delighted that his Dad broke up with his girlfriend. Now, he gets to take Dad's Dracmobile to the Halloween Ball. But first, Dad persuades him to watch a little of the movie with him.
When Himey starts making funnier jokes than his Dad, the Count decides it's time for him to go to the Ball and sends him on his way.
Eegah shows up, proud that he has completed his assignment - completely unaware he has picked up a plunger instead of a bag of popcorn. He feels so bad about his slip-up that the Count invites him to watch some of the movie with him.
Eegah makes too many degrading jokes about Al Lewis and the Count tells him he can't see any more of the movie. Eegah becomes enraged. He packs his bags, grabs his stuffed giraffe, and runs away from home... just as he does every month.
