10 Weirdest Dracula Adaptations

Kids love Dracula and there are plenty of entries to the Dracula kiddie hall of fame. There’s Little Dracula, which saw him as a green pre-teen and Sesame Street’s The Count, whose aristocratic rank seems to have given him some OCD. But, perhaps the oddest was Count Duckula - Dracula as a duck.

Duckula was a harmless vampire duck with little interest in the machinations of his vicious vampire forbears. Though a product of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s his characteristics couldn’t be more 2020; he’s a vegetarian obsessed with becoming a celebrity.

The narration and animation at the start of the opening credits is mildly terrifying to an eight-year-old, as well as being delightfully incomprehensible to its young audience.

If you’re looking for some vampire based ‘80s nostalgia, and who isn’t, Duckula should be at the top of your list.
