{{tropelist}}
* [[Adult Child]]: The Count. This is probably why he and Mina get on so well.
* [[All Men Are Perverts]]: Everyone wants to seem to hit on Mrs. Frankenstein.
* [[Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad]]: Seems to be the usual monster mindset. "It's monsters like you who give us all a GOOD NAME!"
* [[Blood Lust]]: Well, the count is a ''vampire,'' after all. However, in one short, he's also shown eating other, "weirder" things. Just so long as it's not "mortal" food.
* [[Bratty Teenage Daughter]]: Mina's older sister, Lucy.
Line 19 ⟶ 18:
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: The Count's first attempt to... ahem... "seduce" Mina.
** To be fair, he thought she was 17 years old at first.
* [[Dinner and
* [[Free the Frogs]]: Done in quite possibly the ''weirdest fashion ever'' in "Frankenfrog." The frog's already dead; Mina just brings it back with [[Mad Science]]!
* [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire]]
* [[Genki Girl]]: ''Mina.'' Mina Mina Mina Mina Mina Mina Mina!
* [[Hartman Hips]]: Lucy
* [[Heroic Mime]]: Mina very nearly was one in the first short; her only line was "He's my best friend!" She got more talkative in the later shorts, though.
*
** [[Tara Strong]]? Try [[Ashley Johnson]].
* [[Hypno Fool]]: One of the Count's vampire powers.
* [[The Igor]]: Surprise! His name's Igor.
* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: She's 7, he's [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|about 700.]]
* [[Lethal Chef]]: Mina's culinary prowess in the fourth episode is surprising for a little girl, but still, {{spoiler|garlic souffle}} is probably not one of her better ideas.
* [[Lightning Can Do Anything]]: It can bring a dead frog to life {{spoiler|as well as Mina's doll.}}
* [[The Masquerade]]: The Count does his best to stay out of the limelight. When he has to, he parades as Mina's violin teacher.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: The Count is obviously an Expy of Count Dracula. But Mina Harper is named after Mina Harker of the original Dracula novel and her bratty older sister, Lucy, is no doubt named after Lucy Westenra who ironically was Mina's best friend in the novel and in most adaptions of the tale.
* [[Miniseries]]: A cartoon one, but it still kind of fits.
* [[Missing Mom]]: Mina's. In the first episode, a picture on her wall seems to suggest she ''does'' have a mom, but in a later short, it's revealed that that might just be her older sister.
* [[Monster Mash]]: In episode 5, The Count's monster buddies -- which more or less include [[The
* [[Morality Pet]]: Mina for the Count.
** Kinda devolved into the Count becoming a [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire]] after the first episode. Mina must have really rubbed off on him.
* [[Oh Crap]]: The Count has a pretty fanastic moment of this in "The Vampire Who Came to Dinner."

(Mina reveals her dish)
'''Mina:''' "{{spoiler|Garlic Souffle}}!"
'''Count:''' "[[This Is Gonna Suck|... My favorite...]]" }}
* [[Offscreen Teleportation]]: Mina's game of "Peekaboo!" in episode 5.
* [[Only One Name]]: In later episodes, the Count's name is revealed to be Vlad.
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: The Count more-or-less hits most of the [[Classical Movie Vampire]] traits spot-on.
* [[Servile Snarker]]: Igor comes off as kind of a dunce in the first episode, but in the later shorts, it becomes more questionable as to just who's in charge in that castle...
* [[She
* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: Nick's cronies, who look identically, dress identically, and even ''move'' directly in-step at all times.
* [[Vampire Vords]]
* [[Vein-O-Vision]]
