Burns' Vampire Minions

Burn's Vampires Minions are minor characters from the Treehouse of Horror IV's Bart Simpsons Dracula. They reside in his secret lair deep within Count Burns' Pennsylvania country house.
== History ==
There's not much history known with them other then they were likely previous victims of Count Burns if his throwaway line about his ever-growing army of the undead while the Simpsons arrive at his manor is any indication.
 
Bart and Lisa come across the lair while coming back from cleaning themselves up from spilling “punch” (really blood) on themselves and find the coffins laying around the lair. As it's night at the time, the vampires are awake and sense their presence, rising from their coffins. They slowly approach the two, surrounding them. Bart notices this and tries to stammer out a warning to Lisa, who believes he's just doing Three Stooges impressions. It isn't until one of the vampires slams his claw into the book she's reading that she finally notices.
The two quickly run up the stairs out of the lair. But Bart notices a lever on the wall for a “Super Happy Fun Slide”. Despite knowing it's a trap, he pulls it under the pretense that he won't know if he'll come back to the lair again, turning the stairs into a slide. While he initially enjoys himself, this turns to terror when he sees the vampires at the bottom waiting for him. A female vampire pulls him off the slide and pins him to the ground. The other vampires quickly crowd around Bart, growling at him menacingly.
Burns, having sensed the commotion and excused himself from the dinner table where Homer and Marge were offscreen, arrives at lair in his bat form. The female vampire presents Bart to him as Burns morphs back to his human form. She holds him down as Burns proceeds to bite Bart.
The minions are not seen afterward after this, so it's unknown what became of them after Homer staked Burns at the end of the story.
== Trivia ==
* One of the female minions is designed like one of Dracula's Brides from 1992's Bram Stoker's Dracula which was directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
*Likewise, another female vampire in a blue dress is meant to resemble Lucy Westerna's vampire dress from the same film.
* One of the male vampires resembles Count Orlock from the 1922 film, Nosferatu.
