Not that vampires are especially lovable.Īfter watching one too many bad–which is to say, silly–vampire movies, I turned to Debbie and asked, What if I wanted to make the worst vampire movie ever? Or at least the silliest? What’s the least likely vampire you can imagine?īefore she could answer, I burst out: A bunny!īut I didn’t make a movie. My wife, Debbie, and I, both underemployed actors with lots of time on our hands, stayed up many a night watching movies because (a) we didn’t have anywhere we needed to be in the morning, (b) we loved movies, and (c) we loved vampires. Night was when the vampire movies came on.

I guess I should say too many bad vampire movies.īack in 1977, television had five channels, and movies were shown on and off throughout the day and into the night. To be exact, Bunnicula got its start from watching too many vampire movies late at night.
