History WesternAnimation / Transylvania65000

* NoGuyWantsToBeChased: Bugs turns Count Bloodcount into a two-headed vulture, then introduces him to Agatha and Emily--who immediately start pursuing the Count, to his horror.
-->'''Agatha:''' Look, Emily! Isn't it romantic? I always said four heads are better than one.

-->'''Bloodcount:''' Sleep first, telephone tomorrow. Rest is good for the blood!\\

* SkepticismFailure: Bugs, reading the book of magic spells, laughs at the notion of words having magic power. He's soon proven wrong.

** At the end, he's on the phone trying to call his travel agent again, and mumbles Abraca-pocus, turning his own ears into bat wings.

* AccidentalHero: At first Bugs is unaware that Count Bloodcount is out to get him, but also unwittingly thwarts him just by chanting the magic words he learned in a SpellBook ("Magic Words and Phrases").

** Bugs, after saying, "Abracadabra," thinks Count Bloodcount is one of these, not realizing that saying the word has just turned him into a bat.

As he emerges from his hole, Bugs notices a two-headed vulture (Agatha and Emily) and asks them for directions. Since they seem more concerned with making a meal out of him, he goes over to the old castle -- which he mistakes for a hotel -- in the distance.

-->'''Bugs:''' Abraca-pocus! ''[Bloodcount becomes a human with a small bat head.]'' Hocus-cadabra! ''[He becomes a bat with a giant human head.]'' Newport News! ''[He transforms into Witch Hazel.]'' [-Wow, I can do better than that...-] Walla Walla, Washington! ''[Count Bloodcount turns into a male equivalent of Agatha and Emily.]''

* BigCreepyCrawlies: Bugs, after saying, "Abracadabra," thinks Count Bloodcount is one of these, not realizing that saying the word has just turned him into a bat.
-->'''Bugs:''' Golly, what big mosquitoes they do have around here! Hold still, you little devil... ''[Hits the Count with a flyswatter.]'' There!

* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: Count Bloodcount uses "Hocus Pocus" and "Abracadabra" to switch between his bat and vampire forms. But in a severe case of DidNotThinkThisThrough, Bugs figures out ''he'' can say the magic words as well, resulting in a MagicDuel. Bugs very quickly figures out a way to abuse this power:

* GravityIsAHarshMistress: Count Bloodcount, still in the form of a bat, is all the way out of the top window of the castle—and directly over a moat—when Bugs makes his Hocus Pocus incantation and reconverts him to human form. Going down!

--->'''Bugs:''' Oh, operator? You can cancel that call, please. I think I'll fly home instead.

!!Tropus-Po-o-o-ocuuusss...

This cartoon is notable for being the final classic Bugs Bunny cartoon directed by Chuck Jones, and for arguably being the final great Looney Tunes cartoon of the classic era (none after it surpass an 8.0 on iMDB). Later edited (mostly intact) into 1988's ''WesternAnimation/DaffyDucksQuackbusters'', while excerpts were also edited into 1977's ''Bugs Bunny's Howl-oween Special'' (with Count Bloodcount now portrayed as Witch Hazel after drinking Dr. Jekyll's Hyde potion)

* NoGuyWantsToBeChased: When Bugs turns Count Bloodcount into a two-headed vulture, Agatha and Emily start pursuing him, to his horror.

** The same noose still being seen is why the shot of Bloodcount opening the door to let Bugs in is also cut. ABC also cut Bloodcount’s line “It’s ''never'' too late” to make room for his next line “Come in”, which had originally played over the door opening shot.

* AccidentalHero: At first Bugs is unaware that Count Bloodcount is out to get him, but also unwittingly thwarts him just by chanting the magic words he learned in a SpellBook (Magic Words and Phrases).

** Bugs comment “Be a wonderful place for a vacation” and ringing Count Bloodcount’s doorbell, since the doorbell’s operation requires Bugs to pull a visible noose.

(he transforms into Witch Hazel) [-Wow, I can do better than that...-] Walla Walla, Washington! (Count Bloodcount turns into a male equivalent of Agatha and Emily)

* DeliciousDistraction: Agatha and Emily immediately mention Bugs looks delicious. Bugs just heads over to the nearby castle, and they don't bother pursuing him.

As he emerges from his hole, Bugs notices a two-headed vulture (Agatha and Emily) and asks them for directions. Since they seem more concerned with making a meal out of him, he goes over to the old castle—which he mistakes for a hotel—in the distance.

At the castle, Bugs meets a vampire who introduces himself as Count Bloodcount. Though Bugs is only looking for a telephone, Bloodcount insists that he rest up at the castle before making his call.

While he is still as much a KarmicTrickster as ever, Bugs is portrayed as unaware of the reality of his current surroundings and easily taken advantage of at the start.

This cartoon is notable for being the final Bugs Bunny cartoon directed by Chuck Jones.
