Says the being that faded into residing in a few journal articles that got abandoned soon afterward.

The 23rd episode and the first actual appearance of Dracula.

Dracula, thanks to the Great Evil, has risen from his grave, but his soul possesses a Kinclocloptian by accident. Stuck in the form, he appeals to Marceline, but that doesn't go well. He then plans to gather followers to help him. Meanwhile, a Tetris-monster (the likes of Golus) attacks Tokyo and several members (Mothra, Basil, Mr. Freeze, and Twilight) are sent to kill it. Z-Squared and the Vampire Queen do commentary as well. The creature is destroyed and Dracula is still hopeless.


  • A Wizard Did It: The explanation behind the destruction of the castle.
  • Attack! Attack! Attack!: The general plan against the beast.
  • Attack Its Weakpoint: Just like Golus, the orb in the center is the object that must be destroyed.
  • Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: A giant golem (Much like Golus) made of Tetris blocks.
  • Blade Below the Shoulder: The beast has appendages on its shoulders to function like this.
  • Call-Back: The castle destroyed in 'Re-Vamped for the Occasion' has been reduced to dust due to...magic.
    • Also, The Great Evil once again appears, bringing Dracula's soul out.
    • Sir, as punishment for his previous actions, had to sing an abysmal apology song.
  • Combat Commentator: Marceline and Z-Squared become this for the battle.
  • Plane Fu: Dracula's fate is being hit by the nose of a jet. The fate of said jet is shown in the review.
  • Energy Weapon: The beast can fire a massive rainbow beam from its head.
  • Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: No, not Dracula. Marceline manages to showcase this trope proudly when she rebuffs Dracula's offer and has some nice down-time with Z-Squared.
  • Here We Go Again!: A disaster happening on Earth is now commonplace for the Review Team.
  • Humiliation Conga: Oh, LORDY, does Dracula go through one. First, he's in a body he'd rather not be in, gets rebuffed by a fellow vampire, and is forced to look for more followers to no success. Oh, and he's hit by a plane at the end.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Dracula, having caused much pain in the past, is utterly humiliated in this episode. It seems this filler was MADE to do so, even!
  • Maniac Monkeys: The Tetris Beast acts like one (Minus the noises).
  • Species Loyalty: Dracula believes this about all Vampires, even those from different Universes (being the first and most powerful, he does have the authority to believe so). Marceline quickly proves him wrong.
  • Ungrateful Bastard: Dracula sees Marceline as one, for she isn't the least interested in the Lord of the Vampires rising from the grave.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Sir questions why Marceline would just let Dracula get away and not alert the others. She claims he's not really a problem. She's kind of right, but you can see where Sir is coming from.
  • You Have to Believe Me! / We Can Rule Together: Dracula to Marceline.
