The Little Vampire

1. E1. A Visit at Night

   Dec 19, 1986 · 25m

   Rüdiger, a bored young vampire, is sent into town and ends up following 10-year-old Anton home. Later that night he shows up at Anton’s window, forcing Anton to keep his nerves (and his room) under control while a babysitter prowls the house. Their strange first meeting turns into an unlikely friendship just as a new handyman arrives at the cemetery with a very specific interest in vampires.

2. E2. Flying You Should Learn

   Jan 4, 1987 · 25m

   Anton invites Rüdiger over for another secret visit, but plans change when Anton’s mother is stuck at home with an injured ankle. Rüdiger introduces Anton to flying powder and the basics of midnight “cloak travel,” until the practice gets a little too noisy. Anton’s quick cover story helps, but the vampire cloak ends up in adult hands, while the new cemetery gravedigger settles in and starts being watched from the shadows.

3. E3. At the Schlottersteins

   Jan 11, 1987 · 25m

   Uncle Theodor is convinced the new gravedigger is a Geiermeier, and the vampires start taking precautions. Anton’s usual babysitter is replaced by Effie, and Rüdiger’s attempt to scare her goes a bit too well, pushing the boys into a late-night dash to the cemetery. Anton gets his first visit to Rüdiger’s crypt, where hiding as a human becomes a real challenge.

4. E4. Vampire Cloaks Should Not Be Washed

   Jan 18, 1987 · 25m

   Anton’s mother washes the vampire cloak, then cheerfully tells Anton to return it and invite Rüdiger and Anna for dinner. At the cemetery, Anton tries to fly but cannot, and classmate Udo/Cyril notices everything. The gravedigger recognizes the cloak for what it is, and before Anton can fix the mess, the cloak ends up somewhere even harder to retrieve.

5. E5. Anna's Trick

   Jan 25, 1987 · 25m

   Geiermeier documents his vampire-hunting “career,” while Rüdiger brings Anna to help recover the missing cloak. Anton distracts Udo/Cyril so Anna can sneak in and grab it, but flying powder in the wrong place causes chaos at home. Back at the crypt, Anton has to stay hidden again when powerful family members appear, and the night takes an unexpectedly dramatic turn.

6. E6. Rüdiger in Jeans

   Feb 1, 1987 · 25m

   With dinner at Anton’s house approaching, Rüdiger and Anna need convincing human disguises fast. Rüdiger borrows Anton’s old clothes, while Anna sets her sights on a dress she saw at Udo/Cyril’s place. Meanwhile, Geiermeier hunts down information about vampires in the most blunt way possible, and the vampires realize someone might be listening closer than they think.
