Monster Force (animation)/YMMV

Complete Monster: Count Dracula himself is the Big Bad of this series, having enslaved countless to his vampiric curse in his constant efforts to pursue power and see Dr. Reed and his Monster Force exterminated. Dracula tries various schemes throughout the series, from trying to trap a member of the Monster Force in his lycanthropic form, to have him kill his own friends, to trying to trick a large group of vampires into performing a ceremony that would allow Dracula to take their power and become a god, killing all of them in the process. In his nastiest appearance, Dracula murders the real Abraham Stoker to take his appearance to trick Reed, forcing him to listen as the rest of Monster Force is seemingly killed—only to reveal he's intending to make them his vampire slaves to have Reed die at their hands, admitting the whole plot was solely to make Reed suffer. An elegantly vicious creature of the night all the while, Dracula consciously rejects his own humanity to see all before him destroyed in the finale.
- The Dark Town, from "Dark City", is a living and malevolent entity that takes the shape of a town to lure in prey, while it sadistically relishes in their fear as it drains their lives and souls, the fate that befalls two luckless travelers in the opening. The Dark Town has been traveling for centuries, depopulating entire towns that it lures into its borders before devouring them, vanishing to repeat the cycle anew before trapping the Monster Force themselves.
High Octane Nightmare Fuel: The "Dark City" episode definitely qualifies.
Magnificent Bastard: Dracula, a vicious but elegant pastiche of his Universal incarnation, stands as the Monster Force's most formidable adversary. He constantly executes schemes to net himself more power at any cost, usually running rings around the Monster Force until it's almost too late to stop him, always operating with sadistic charm and rebounding from every defeat. Dracula makes pawns of his other vampire cohorts in a scheme meant to steal their energy so he can become a god, outsmarts Dr. Crawley in the guise of vampire hunter Bram Stoker and nearly drives him to despair, and even mounts a successful invasion of Monster Force's own base in the finale through guile.
Needs More Love: Not very well recognized among cartoon viewers (the fact that it was syndicated being a factor) but is actually quite good when given the chance.
- It doesn't help that (as I recall) it was aired first thing in the morning.
Recycled Premise: Just like in the '32 movie, Hotep sees in Shelley a woman he knew in Ancient Egypt and tries to reincarnate her in Shelley's body. Although he does succeed in reviving her and gets a surprise when he does.
Straw Man Has a Point: In the episode with the Creature from the Black Lagoon, a scientist asks Monster Force to recover a data disk from a boat his assistants were piloting that sank. One of them asks if he wants them to look for his assistants while they're at it, like he's a huge jerk for not thinking of their survival too. But if they've been down there for two days like the scientist says, there probably isn't much even Monster Force can do for them (the assistants are never found).
