Bunnicula, the Vampire Rabbit


When strange accidents happen at the factory where Mr. Monroe works, and vegetables are drained of their juices, the neighbors as well as Harold the dog and Chester the cat suspect that the new-found family bunny is really a vampire.

Bunnicula is a children's book series written by Deborah Howe and James Howe, featuring a vampire rabbit named Bunnicula who sucks the juice out of vegetables. Deborah Howe died in 1978, months before the book first saw print. The series consists of seven books, with the latest published in 2006.

So warm up the apple cider pop the kettle corn sit back relax and enjoy this Halloween-themed edition of the ABC Weekend Special as aired over WLS Channel 7, of "Bunnicula, the Vampire Rabbit" which originally aired on January 9th, 1982.

    I never saw the special (or much of the current tv series) but I love the Bunnicula series. In fact I own 4 of the books and plan to read them again (and in the case of Edgar Allan Crow - for the first time ever) soon!

    Yay! Thank you so much for sharing this! I didn't even know it existed! I was into the books when I was a kid. A teacher of mine used to read us a chapter of a Bunnicula book each day after we came in from recess. It's a fun memory!

    Hope you had a Happy Halloween! :)
