Finished my latest run of the 80s German-Canadian co-production kids TV show The Little Vampire last night. Saw this as a kid in the mid 80s and absolutely loved it at the time. Was rather obsessed with it while it was on, but I didn't see it again for over 20 years. My memory of it was potent enough for me to be willing to spend $100 to import the German DVD back in the late 00s and I've seen it another 3 times now. Still rather love it. Maybe it's just nostalgia, but very few things are able to make me feel 10 years old again like this does, and it is SO 80s, but in the best possible way. Was also the first time I ever saw Michael Gough in anything (he plays Uncle Ludwig, the head of the vampire clan, and does his usual splendid, dignified job of it). When I saw Batman in 1989, my response was "It's Uncle Ludwig!"
I remain a big fan of this and stand before you utterly unashamed.
