Rankin Bass's stop-motion Halloween special Mad Monster Party? features many monsters, including their own version of Dracula , only referred to as "The Count" for copyright reasons. He later appeared in the 2D sequel (or possibly prequel) Mad Mad Mad Monsters.
Appearance[]
In the special, Dracula has blue-green skin, long pointed ears, and a long pointed nose. He is a caricature of Bela Lugosi's version of Dracula.
Personality[]
Despite initially acting very friendly towards the other monsters, especially the Wolfman, Dracula is shown to be self-absorbed, manipulative, traitorous, and power-hungry, and perfectly willing to turn on his "friends". He seems to consider himself a lady's man, and is very flirty towards the female characters, at one point assuming Francesca wants to see him in private for romantic reasons, and as a result of his assumption, begins flirting too hard, disgusting Francesca, who remarks, "You're drunk."
He is quite lecherous, and wrongly assuming Francesca is lusting after him when she wishes to speak to her, much to her disgust. This lustful behavior is prominent, and seems to be a defining quality.
Despite being a cartoon adaption, he still is shown to be ruthless enough to be willing to kill (attempts to murder other characters).
