Young Dracula (2006)

Chased out of Transylvania by a mob of angry peasants, the Dracula family are forced to move to England. Vlad hopes it's a chance to be a normal kid but his new neighbour, vampire-obsessed Robin, is a long way from normal.

Vlad goes to school where the new woodwork teacher, Van Helsing, becomes convinced that Robin is a vampire. Believing that the Branaghs have reported him to the school authorities, the Count declares a feud.

Ingrid invites her mother to visit. Worried that Magda will hurt them again, Vlad persuades the Count to kick her out. She moves in with the Branaghs and devises a plan to marry the Count in order to claim the castle as her own.

It's Father's Day and Vlad and Robin invite both their dads camping, in the hope that they'll be a good influence on each other but instead they end up competing. Meanwhile, Van Helsing tries to impress his new girlfriend.

Vlad and Robin accidentally unleash an ancient curse that will make the family normal. But if three screams are heard before midnight, the curse will be lifted and they will return to being vampires.

Vlad and Robin visit the museum to find the Staff of Carpathia which they believe can cure vampirism. The Count leaves his body to sneak past a security guard, but accidentally ends up in Van Helsing's body.

On her sixteenth birthday, Ingrid is looking forward to facing the Blood Mirror for her transformation, but has second thoughts when she finds that her reflection is even more evil than she is and wants to kill Will.

The Grand High Vampire accuses the Count of breaking Vampire Law. If found guilty, he will be sentenced to death. Things get even worse when the Grand High Vampire is murdered and it looks as if the Count may be responsible.

Still believing that Erin is a half-fang struggling to come to terms with being a vampire, Vlad tries to comfort her by sharing memories of his childhood and explains his hope that vampires and breathers can live together in peace.

When Vlad accidentally humiliates his father by demonstrating his powers, he agrees to make amends by throwing a feast, but must find a way to stop it when he learns that the Count plans to kill Erin at the end of the party.

Believing she is distracting Vlad, Bertrand devises a plan to get rid of Erin and make it look like an accident. Meanwhile, Renfield plays detective to find out who has been stealing the Count's blood.

Powerful vampire Ramanga arrives, expecting the Praedictum Impaver to be opened and demanding to see the Chosen One. But Vlad has been summoned by the Blood Mirror and must face not just one but a thousand evil reflections.

With his evil reflection taking over, Vlad is out of control. More powerful than ever, Vlad turns against his family and Erin and they are unable to stop him.

Emotionally ruined after Vlad tried to kill her, Ingrid talks to a psychologist and examines memories of her life. Erin hopes that the Praedictum Impaver may have a cure for her brother.

Vlad's back and wants to learn more about the clan leaders so he can control them when he takes power. But Jonno and Mina Van Helsing unexpectedly turn up at the school and Vlad must test if their mind-wipes are still in place.

Ingrid turns a visiting netball team into vampires and sends them out to kill Vlad, but the inexperienced girls fail miserably. While searching Erin's room, Bertrand discovers that she is not only a breather, but also a slayer.

Unsure whether or not to trust Erin's warning about the coming slayer attack, Vlad and the Count visit the Slayers' Guild where they find and destroy a powerful weapon, but Jonno is not convinced by Vlad's desire for peace.

Vlad is determined to make the ceasefire between vampires and slayers work, but faces opposition from all sides: the Vampire High Council, the Slayers' Guild, and even the Count and Ingrid would rather go back to their old ways.

Vlad and Bertand round up the street fangs and set up the Revamp training program to teach coexistence. Hoping to gain a place on the Vampire High Council, Ingrid helps the Count and Ramanga in their plots to end the ceasefire.

Vlad must find a way to get out of his engagement before the Blood Tea Ceremony, but his attempts to make her look bad have no effect on his father and Ramanga. With blood supplies running low, it becomes harder to maintain peace.

Miss Mccauley wants one of the Revamp kids to join the school senate, so Vlad arranges a quiz to choose the candidate, but Malik and the mysterious shape-shifter have plans of their own.

Bertrand investigates Ryan's murder, but quickly discovers that almost everyone had both motive and opportunity. With help from the Slayers' heat sensors in the school, he begins to suspect a shape-shifter is involved.

Ramanga and Adze plan to use an ancient, forbidden weapon to kill Vlad after the Blood Binding ceremony. Although Bertrand suspects the truth, Vlad will not trust him without evidence.

Erin is hovering between life and death and can only be saved by becoming a vampire, so Vlad must decide whether to bite her and risk her hating him forever. Malik claims that he is the Count's eldest son, but will the Count accept him?

As Vlad struggles to overcome his blood thirst, the Count is disappointed in him and declares a duel to the death between Vlad and Malik to decide who will be heir.

Trapped in the attic with the sun coming in, the Count tells Malik and Ingrid how his brother died and confesses that he abandoned Malik's mother. Bertrand finally finds proof about the shape-shifter, but cannot persuade Vlad to listen.

Mina is preparing the slayers for war, and Jonno can only persuade her to call it off if Vlad will slay Erin. Determined to make peace work at any price, and fearing the life that Erin will lead as a vampire, Vlad agrees to Jonno's plan.

George Lansley, new member of the Vampire High Council, claims to support the peace treaty, but Ingrid discovers that he has bought his way onto the Council using blood harvested from a breather farm.

Vlad finally discovers that Bertrand had been right about Elizabeta. Renfield brews a potion to stop the shape-shifter, but they soon find that it's not so easy to track her down.

As the poison takes hold, the Count starts hallucinating, and it's a race against time for Renfield as he tries to brew an antidote. Meanwhile, Elizabeta, Malik and Erin try to destroy Vlad and Ingrid.

The Count resorts to bribery when he learns Vlad is only planning a brief stopover back home during his world travels. When Vlad starts to feel ill, Renfield's search for a cure uncovers a surprising family secret.

Vlad is angry to discover the secret his father has been hiding from him for 18 years. Meanwhile, Ingrid is trying to climb the ladder at the VHC by dusting her competition.

When the Count converts Garside into a vampire-themed hotel, Vlad invites his breather mother to stay without revealing his true identity. Will Ingrid's early return scupper his plans?

Vlad persuades Sally and George to stay a little while at Garside, as he would like to get to know them better. Despite his pleas for his vampire family to pretend to be normal, Ingrid can't help herself and chaos soon descends.

A mysterious stranger visits Garside and warns the Draculas that they are they next target of Ramanga's fearsome Shadow Warriors.

The Count is revelling in his victory over the Shadow Warriors when he gets even more good news. The Dracula family celebrations are cut short by another unexpected arrival.

Malik finds a surprising ally in his mission to rescue his mother from the Blood Mirror. Vlad is delighted when a friend he met travelling pays him a visit, but what will she make of his breather houseguests?

The Count arranges an open house viewing to sell Garside, but thanks to Asan and Shango there are a few surprises in store for the Draculas and their potential breather buyers.

When the VHC appoint a bodyguard to protect Vlad from the Bounty Hunters he's worried that his secret of being half-human will be discovered.

The Draculas' bedtime routine descends into chaos when they are set upon by enemies old and new. Renfield will be sweeping up the dust of at least one fallen vampire before the night is through.

With Vlad about to turn 18 and due to become the Chosen One, Ingrid decides to make a final bid for power. Her plan is almost faultless, if only she hadn't underestimated Renfield.

It is Vlad's 18th birthday and he is anxious about becoming the Chosen One. Nothing can prepare him for a triple-pronged attack, as he faces up to the Ramangas, the Vampire High Council and the Magister Maleficorum.

As the sun rises on his 18th birthday, will Vlad be granted his biggest wish and become human? With the Blood Seed flourishing and his family under attack, it's certainly not going to be an easy decision to make.
