Count Von Blukenporken[2][3] was a vampire who became a ghost, and started feeding on other ghosts' slime to become human again.[4]

History[]

Count Von Blukenporken came up with a plan to absorb the life force of 21 ghosts. He would accumulate enough power to transmogrify and live again. [5][6] His actions caused most of the ghosts in Blukenporken, Germany to shrivel up and lose their powers. The Count's victims formed a support group in a secluded farmhouse. His actions also caused the local tourist economy to go into crisis, prompting the people to hire the Ghostbusters to bring the ghosts back.

The Ghostbusters arrived in Blukenporken and found out that he was the one that made the ghosts disappear after he drained Slimer. With 21 ghosts drained, the Count would live again at dawn.[7] To make matters worse, the Ghostbusters' equipment failed against him.[8] The Count met his end when the Ghostbusters used mirrors to emit ultraviolet rays from their Proton Packs through a chandelier.[9][10][11] After he was destroyed, the slime he consumed was returned to the ghosts by transfusion.

Personality[]

The Count is focused on mainly draining ghosts of their slime to gain power. He is also very persistent as he stopped at nothing to consume Slimer's slime.

Minions[]

The Count is mainly served by bat-like creatures, two of which are named Destricon and Lucifus. However, he also is assisted by a woman named Frau Shveinkiller and a hunchback with bad eyesight named Boris.

Classification[]

With 20 ghosts absorbed, Egon Spengler believed him to be an ectoplasmic manifestation of Class 7 proportions.[12][13]

Trivia[]

  • Similar to Ghash, Count Von Blukenporken gets stronger by feeding on other ghosts.
