An evil is lurking deep within the sinister Transylvanian Alps, and it's name is Dracula. All over Eastern and Central Europe, Dracula begins his reign of terror by spreading his fairy dust – which turns everyone who comes into contact with it, vampires! Soon thereafter, these vampire slaves begin to do his bidding and continue the onslaught of conversion by way of their laser-like eyes. Only one force is capable of coping with such a catastrophic conundrum: the SuperFriends!

Robin: (Said throughout this episode)
- Holy vanishing vacationers, Batman. Where could they have gone?!
- Holy haunted castles, Batman! Look!
- Holy vampires, Batman! We're surrounded!
- Holy bottomless pits, Batman! Dracula's lower us into a sunken well!
- Holy artesian wells, Batman! The water's gonna cover us any second!
- Holy Houdini, Batman! Two more seconds and I'd have had it!
- Holy high-dives, Batman! It's a long way down!
| Superman: My heat vision will transform my suit into the dull rags they were before.
Batman: Of course, and with this Bat make-up . . . you'll be a vampire again!

Episode Goofs |

Logic
Dracula has a little pouch with some mystery powder in it and begins releasing it all over Transylvania; the pouch is very small, yet soon the swirl of powder is big enough to completely cover a plane with several dozen passengers.
| Fact
The pilots of the jetliner abandoned their craft and switched on the 'auto pilot' before deplaning; however, it's impossible for the auto pilot mechanism to auto-land a plane, as claimed by the man on the view screen.
| Fact
In the realm of fantasy, a zombie and vampire are not the same thing, yet in this episode, the narrator claims the villagers are being turned into 'walking zombies', when in fact, they're being turned into vampires.
| Continuity
Batman's chest emblem changes from its characteristic 'black bat on a yellow background' to the reverse of those two colors, as seen here.
| Logic
Robin perhaps may be forgiven for his ill-conceived utterance, but the writers can't be. He shouts out 'Holy bottomless pits', yet he can clearly see that the well is filled with water; thus, it cannot be 'bottomless'.
| Continuity
Wonder Woman has a vampire lay his hand on her shoulder, and then we see her throwing a net over her shoulder at him, yet, by now he is perhaps 20 feet away, despite the fact they were side-by-side a second before.
| Logic
Wonder Woman radios Aquaman and declares that she is 'surrounded', but there are only three of the vampires several yards away from her, as seen here. Also, Wonder Woman is standing close enough to the three zombies for them to attack, but they don't attempt to 'zap' her with their laser like eyes; instead they're just idle.
| Logic
Batman and Robin use some 'Bat hoists' to lower themselves down into a cave and then raise themselves up again, yet when you see the hoists (click here for visual) you can clearly see that the ends are tied to a normal end, not a pulley or winch as would be required.
| Logic
There is absolutely no reason why Superman or the Wonder Twins' costumes would change either to black and gray (when they became vampires), nor back to their regular colors after they were freed from the spell.
Then there is Superman's miraculous disguise and how his heat vision transforms his entire costume (even the areas on his back where he cannot reach) turn to the exact same colors as prior (without singeing his attire). What's more, Batman is carrying some 'Bat make-up' (don't ask, don't tell), yet where did Superman get the fake fangs from? Was Batman carrying some in his Bat make-up bag?
Lastly, when Superman reveals his true self – as in, no longer under Dracula's spell – his costume again changes back to normal, and again for no reason. Perhaps he used his 'restore-something-back-to-the-way-it-was-before-I-used-my-heat-vision' vision.
