Here is the outline of the series:
Although the Ketchup Vampires are direct descendents
of the feared Count Dracula, the Ketchup Vampires are a different, more
friendly breed of vampires. But some of their relatives are still pretty
bad. So put down all your pre-conceptions and get ready for the funniest,
scariest, cast of characters, ever to come out of Transsilvania...
The good vampires are sort of.....vegetarian. They never touch anything
stronger than tomato juice. The bad vampires are after... well, a more
traditional meal.
And there's an intense battle for Count Dracula's legacy going on. If
you've got the book, you've got the key to making as many blood-lusting
vampires as you like. The problem for the bad vampires is that the Ketchup
Vampires took off with the book a long time ago. Now the baddies want
the legacy back and they'll stop at nothing to get it!
Dracula's Transsilvanian castle has turned into the home of the craziest
group of villains ever. There is the Countessa Hilga, a shrieking witch
of a vampire who rules her roost with an iron hand. Her partner in crime
is Ricardo a slippery tuxedoed vampire who's looking out only for himself.
Then there is Roquefort, the saw-off sidekick and sneak-thief; keep your
hand on your wallet.
Things are much more peaceful and congenial at Rabenstein castle, home
of the Ketchup Vampires. Professor von Rabenstein owns the place. He's
given refuge to our family of three vampires who don't like blood. The
father Maurice is an accomplished French chef. Margaret is the mom. And
then there is young Pino who wants more than anything just to be a normal
human boy. - The reason is Bella, the professor's beautiful granddaughter.
Pino dreams of kissing her but his fangs just get in the way.
 Soon an invasion begins:
The worst kids in Transsilvania, wicked Huberta and pudgy Siegfried desend
on castle Rabenstein posing as relatives who've come for a visit. But
their real objective is to find Count Dracula's legacy!
The action heats up as the scheming Ricardo and a limousine full of blood
hungry vampire students also move into castle Rabenstein to aid Huberta
and Ziggy in search for the manuscript. Soon the ranting Hilga is there
too. The stage is set for the final battle and it turns out to be a real
food fight!
The time is ripe for this non-violent story about how good can triumph
over the powers of darkness. Exceptional animation artistry, loveable
and hateable characters and a winning story make the Ketchup Vampires
destined to be a time honored fable of excitement and fun!
