Count Duckula
cartoon series (1988-1993)

Duckula is in fact a vampire and lives in a spooky castle known as Castle Duckula, alongside his butler Igor, and his nanny (always referred to as "Nanny" and perpetually in an arm sling). Almost all of the characters in the show are (anthropomorphised) birds.

Duckula has been a vampire for centuries, and so like most vampire myths, he can only be destroyed by exposure to sunlight or by a wooden stake through his heart. Duckula had in fact died numerous deaths. But he always returns through a mystic ritual, performed once a century, "when the moon is in the eighth house of Aquarius". However each resurrection creates a new incarnation with little to no memory of its past life. But as the title sequence put it, "the latest reincarnation did not run according to plan." The ritual requires blood, the source of sustenance for a vampire. But Duckula's servants accidentally substitute it with tomato ketchup. Consequently the newest vampire is a vegetarian one.

Duckula's castle has the ability to teleport around the world via a cuckoo clock that has vampire-bat-like characters Duckula is intended to be a mallard.
