Spooktober: Underdog vs. Batty Man (1967)

 Underdog (Wally Cox) faces off against "Batty Man" in the pentultimate episode of the series. This vampire is more interested in stealing gold from Fort Knox than drinking blood.

I should point out that Mad Magazine had used a "Batty Man" as a parody of Batman roughly around the same time.

This video, taken by a camera phone from a Boomerang broadcast, comes from NBC's 2nd run with the series, no later than 1972-3.


Who'd ever heard of a vampire on a cruise liner in broad daylight, before "Hotel Transylvania"?

One of the weaker entries in the series.

Rating: C.
