Honourable Mention: Rick and Morty: Mort Ragnarick


Season 7 of Rick and Morty actually had two vampiric visitations. I have previously featured Rickfending Your Mort but the second episode with a vampire was episode 9, Mort Ragnarick.

Like all the previous episodes to feature vampires, we are looking at a fleeting visitation only and, in this case, it is Dracula (as well as the other Universal monsters)

The premise of the episode sees Rick (Ian Cardoni) experimenting by killing Jerry (Chris Parnell) repeatedly and bringing him back – proving that there is an afterlife and that it contains infinite energy.

To tap into that energy he goes to Norway in order that he might get to Valhalla and set up a power relay, but a faux pas with Bigfoot sees Rick and Morty (Harry Belden) fighting the Pope, who has usurped the energy and, at one point, Rick summons the Universal monsters to be a part of that battle… will they succeed? As their appearance is fleeting, I suspect you can work out the answer to that.

The episode's imdb page is here.
