| 8 | This is when your regular cast of beloved characters are dealing with the macabre children of the night, the wamphiri, the nosferatu, the vampire! Then you know you're watching a vampire episode. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | Vampires are normally chosen to be in special episodes of non-fantasy shows. One possible reason for this is because they are (in the broader sense) more realistic than other kinds of mythological creatures thus, having vampires in a realistic show may not break realism too much. Of course, if the writer wants to break even less he or she can go for the ScoobyDooHoax ending, the MaybeMagicMaybeMundane or even the AllJustADream in order to keep the laws of reality in place. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | This is the GothicHorror version of the CryptidEpisode. Normally used for a HalloweenEpisode, sometimes it's also the BizarroEpisode, it may also overlap with FightDracula. Needless to say, this trope applies only to works where vampires are not a common occurrence. See also EpisodeOfTheDead, for a similar phenomena involving a different undead creature. |

The house's lord, alongside his sister and butler, are all vampires, but thanks to Shin Chan's antics the whole thing goes to ''hell'' for the vampire trio, from Shin Chan burping a mouthful of garlic when the sister vampire tried biting him, to Misae pummeling the vampire butler when he comments "I'm going to suck blood from this hag..." ''then'', cue Hiroshi bringing out an entire ''feast'' of garlic-flavoured ''Nattō'' stinking up the entire mansion, causing the vampire trio to flee in panic.

| 28 | * ''Manga/PrincessResurrection'': Reiri's debut is treated as this, as well as any fights with Duke Kiniski. There's also a slight prison episode when Hime, Hiro and Riza end up in a monster prison (largely as a formality since Hime beat one of her siblings [[spoiler: though it turns out it's a trap to try and kill her)]] in which the werewolf inmates are in a FurAgainstFang matter against the vampires inmates. Riza volunteers to be the werewolf representative in the one on one fight against the vampire one who's never lost a fight. [[spoiler: Riza beats her since her fights with the Duke have allowed her more experience]]. |

| 36 | * ''ComicBook/RickAndMortyOni'': The 37th and 38th issues had a vampire seeking revenge against Rick by capturing Morty and Summer (they were trying to get Rick but misttook Summer for him).

| 37 | * ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'': One of the first enemies that the Runways fight is a vampire named Topher. Since vampires in the Marvel universe are uncommon opponents who usually require specialized equipment to fight, the Runaways struggle to fight back against Topher, surviving only because he makes the mistake of feeding on Karolina, whose alien blood has properties similar to pure sunlight and thus burns him alive. |

| 77 | -->'''Arthur:''' Three days? Can't you do anything right now?\ |
| 78 | '''Merlin:''' Well, right now, I'd need to drive a stake through your heart, and then I'd cut your head off. It's your choice.... |
| 79 | * ''Series/KolchakTheNightStalker'' is an unusual case in that the PilotEpisode was a vampire episode, but the series itself is not a vampire series.

| 88 | * ''Series/{{Sliders}}'': "[[Recap/SlidersS03E24Stoker Stoker]]" has the eponymous Sliders visiting a world where vampires exist and their existence is public, to the point that Richard Nixon was one.

| 97 | * ''Series/TheYoungIndianaJonesChronicles'': "Transylvania, January 1918" involves {{Franchise/Ind|ianaJones}}y traveling with a team of spies to the eponymous region during UsefulNotes/WorldWarI; and he faces off against a rogue Romanian general/nobleman named Mattias Targo, who believes himself to be the reincarnation of UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler, but it turns out that [[RealAfterAll he's an authentic vampire]] (probably the real Vlad Tepes himself, or at least {{Dracula}}). [[ParanormalEpisode An uncommon episode]], considering that it's the only one of the entire TV series to have supernatural elements (despite the fact that magic is known to exist in the ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' universe). |

Asking to spend a night there, Master Q meets it's lord, a stereotypical western-style vampire, who intends to drink Master Q's blood. But since this is a slapstick series, cue Master Q trolling the vampire firstly by claiming he had AIDS, and when the vampire doesn't buy it, drag the vampire into a silly ScoobyDoobyDoors-style chase before stomping a hole into the vampire's coffin (said vampire even moans, "[[VampiresSleepInCoffins You broke my bed!]]"). When the vampire tries drawing Master Q with the music from an OminousPipeOrgan, Master Q grabs an electric guitar and performs an impromptu rock musical on said vampire, and when the vampire finally, ''finally'' had Master Q within his grasp, Master Q instead tricks him into biting a raw ''[[FireBreathingDiner jalepeno]]'' he pulled from out of nowhere. Yes, it's a ''really'' silly comic strip. |
