Very good and cute episode!
23 November 2017
Donald Longtooth (Malcom Mcdowell) is a good natured vampire who has a night job at the local blood bank as he would never kill innocent people as he instead take some blood from the blood bank for his thirst and only kill bad people who do bad things to good people. However, his boss (George Wendt) realizes his business is almost going bankrupt and Donald falls for a lovely lady named Sally (Sandra Dickinson).

A very good and quite cute episode that co-stars Michael Barryman as a Van Helsing type of character who looks just like Judge Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit which is weird as it must be a reference to another Robert Zemeckis production since the show is produced by the same guys. Terry Black's script is funny and enjoyable and the episode co-stars Paul Gleason as well as the detective. It's a darkly comical episode that has a cute romance story, some violence and blood plus vampire action. Mcdowell is also superb as the title vampire.
