Count Blood Count

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Count Bloodcount (originally voiced by Ben Frommer) is a vampire from the Warner Brothers Looney Tunes animated shorts.

The Count's first appearance was in the 1963 short, Transylvania 6-5000. In this short, Bugs goes to Transylvania and looks for a telephone at what he thinks is a motel (but is in reality an ominous castle). At the castle, Bugs meets Count Blood Count and is given a room for the night (much to his chagrin) by the blood-thirsty vampire. Unable to sleep, Bugs skims through a magic book. Bugs then wanders the castle saying the magic words "abra kadabra", which turns Blood Count into a bat and "hocus pocus" which turns Blood Count back into human form. Amused by the results, Bugs then says random words which turn Blood Count into a whole range of things: "abra-ka-pocus" turns Blood Count into a being with his bat head and human form body, while "hocus kadabra" does the opposite (Blood Count's human head with his bat form's wings). One of the many things Blood Count is turned into is Witch Hazel, another Looney Tunes character (through the incantation "Newport News"). Finally, Bugs turns him into a two-headed vulture (through "Walla Walla Washington"). Seeing an opportunity to be rid of the vampire, Bugs calls over a female two-headed vulture from earlier in the episode (named Emily and Agatha, respectively). Emily and Agatha are immediately smitten with passion, while Count Blood Count is immediately smitten with fear, and the female vultures amorously chase the terrifed count away into the distance, sighing "How romantic! I always said, four heads are better than one!"

The Count would reappear many years later in various Looney Tunes-related media. He was used as a boss in Bugs Bunny and Taz Time Busters, and voiced by Joe Alaskey. He also appeared in an episode of Tiny Toon Adventures, attempting (with hilariously painful results) to suck the blood of series regular Elmyra Duff. He most recently appeared in an episode of Duck Dodgers titled "I'm Gonna Get You, Fat Sucka" (voiced by Jeff Glen Bennet), where he aimed to suck the blood of the Eager Young Space Cadet.
