• Monster Magnet - Ozium...
In 1985 the first TV adaptation of Angela Sommer-Bodenburg's children's novels "Der kleine Vampir" und "Der kleine Vampir zieht um" ("My Friend the Vampire" (also "The Little Vampire") and "The Little Vampire Moves In") came out. Be it nostalgia or my exquisite taste, I find this TV show to be the best adaptation of these novels. ;-)
Yes, the effects are cheesy. And of course you have the typical 80s look everywhere. And the aspect ratio is 4:3.
And still it blows other adaptations out of the water. Because what was lacking in special FX technology had to be compensated by acting and love for the story.
And there's one more important fact to be mentioned: Gert Fröbe as the shady vampire hunter Geiermeier ("Gurrmeier"). Fröbe was a famous german character actor for both film and stage. He played - among many other roles - Auric Goldfinger in the James Bond movie "Goldfinger".
Almost forgot: The song that is playing during the "starring"-section is "Die Widerspenstigkeit unerwünschter Gedanken" by "Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows" and is taken from the album "The Inexperienced Spiral Traveller". Anna-Varney hates it, but I hope she will forgive me for using it... ;-)
Enough rambling for now - enjoy!
