Der kleine Vampir -[ Neue Abenteuer] Episode1 Part 1/3

Der Klene Vampir Neue Aben SchlottersteinHymne Filmversion

Something to talk about..

Dear Blog..
Today I want to tell about old shows from my past.. recently I discovered some material about 'Der kleine Vampier', a show from the 80's-90's.. about a boy, Anton who befriends a family of Vampires.. named Rüdiger and Anna, 2 'children' vampires..

I really loved this show!! The series were created in 2 countries.. and where by the hand of German author Angela Sommer-Bodenburg.

Television series: (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0179585/ The Little Vampire)

In 1985: (yes, I know such a good year!!) this show came out

1985 (Canada)
A 13 episode TV series that was adapted from the first two books of the series: The little Vampire and The Little Vampire Moves in. The production was shot in Edmonton, Canada and was a co production of Norddeutscher Rundfunk, TVS UK and Norflicks Canada. The show was dubbed into German and was broadcast in Germany by Norddeutscher Rundfunk.
The series starred Joel Dacks in the title role of Rüdiger, Christopher Stanton as Anton, Marsha Moreau as Anna and Canadian musician Jim Gray as Lumpi, who sang the show's theme song "They Can See in the Dark". Gert Fröbe, known for the role of Goldfinger in the James Bond series, appeared in the series as the vampire hunter Geiermeier. It was one of Fröbe's last roles before he died in 1988.

This show was English and German Dubbed.. this wasn't the one I watched though.. it's the next one!

In 1993 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106048/) Der Kleine Vampir, Neues Abentuer

1993 (Germany)
A 13 episode sequel to the Canadian series was produced by Westdeutscher Rundfunk in 1993. The series was adapted from the third and fourth books of the series: The Little Vampire Takes a Trip and The Little Vampire on the Farm.
The series starred Jan Steilen in the title role, Matthias Ruschke as Anton, Lena Beyer as Anna and German theatre star Angelika Milster as Aunt Dorothy.

I was about 9 - 10 and absolutly adored the charachters of the show.. especially Anton and Rüdiger :) Great vampires!! :) I think it came to Belgian Tv somewhere in '94 or '95.

I also remember seeing this show at my grandparents house.. aah.. memories!! And off course, how could i forget.. In my young years I got a radio as present.. not just a radio, but also a recorder.. when I was 9 years old I recorded every song - intros of tv shows I liked from those years :) (I still have the casettes!!) (you know what casettes are yes??) :P And yes, Not only I recorded the intro.. (a very haunted song :D) - but also the schlottersteinhymne..
All episodes (13) can be watched on Youtube.. cool.. and so nostalgic!! Too bad I can't speak German.. (although it's a beautifull language!)

I also think, the dark 'tones' that were on the intro of Der kleine Vampir and the notes of the hymne, made me love the same kind of music.. thinking about Rammstein.. (huge fan of..) and off course: Crucified by Army of lovers.. )

Where are they now?

Holiday!!

Dear Blog..

Vacation!! Hooray!!
Yes... I ended my schoolyear on both schools.. Eke and Zwijnaarde.. and now it's over.. I'm officially looking for a job.. (again!)
And yes, I already have visited many schools to introduce me to new schools.. (now even as far as Gavere, Asper and Zingem!)
And off course
Some other news..

1. On thursday the 30th June, we did a tour in Ghent. Filled with questions and things to do for the now leaving Principal.. Cool things I have to add.. Even I got to learn a couple of things :D

2. In the evening we went for dinner in Du Progres, a fine restaurant somewhere in the center of Ghent.. http://www.duprogres.be/ where we had our choice of menu..

3. We even surprised our Principel with a lovely song just for him! Almost everyone was in tears after that.. it was really emotional.. pff.. Ah well. it's over, for me it was my last time too :)

4. I got loooooooots of presents from the children!! Really, it was too much! Flowers, cookies, chocolates, candy.. wow! I really was blessed with so lovely children.. I'm going to miss them :'(

But nevertheless.. the next day.. just the first of July we went on our holiday!! Together with Mic's friends from work.. Kristof.. (unfortunatly without his Kim) and Nico, with Vicky. We had a blast!! With our tent into the wild.. (and the wild it was!!.. our campingplace was soo old.. - bit disgusting too and we were the only ones with tentes. They managed a place for us next to the water of Robertville)
It was like a kind of grass field.. high grass and so on.. But there was much cozyness with us all :)
The camping really sucked.. It's the worst camping ever i've been on.. really..
they'd put us on a large grassy field.. no cows luckily! Where it was dark (on the camping itself there was a bit off streetlight)

The sanitary conditions really were bad.. i'm not going into do detail so that's only a 3/10
Our placement was nevertheless okay, we had the place for ourselves :D 7/10 (except for the darkness when you wanted to pee.. :S)
Companion!! 11/10! Cool friends!!

We did lots of things

visits too.. Waimes (were our camping was..)
