Synopsis

Programmes featuring the immortal Count Homogenized are among the most-requested by visitors to NZ On Screen. Homogenized - a vampire with a white afro and cape and a lust for milk - made his debut in this children's show, ultimately going on to star in his own series. In this early episode the Count turns up at Major Toom's haunted house on his unending search for bovine liquid sustenance, and befriends Toom over some wine. Shark in the Park actor Russell Smith's mischievous Count has lodged itself in the hearts of many Kiwis of a certain vintage.

Haha, this scared the daylights out of me too.
I have a Count Homogenised T-Shirt from Mr Vintage. Its the best.
T-Shirt says "Missing - Count Homogenised, Last seen crying over spilt milk" and has a picture of him.

I worked on this show as a boom operator. It was great fun and remarkably well made in Studio 4 Chch which has since been completely demolished. A great loss.

Ah Count Homogenized. I grew up fearing that he lived under my bed I would never dangle my legs over the side in case he grabbed them but at the same I LOVED this programme.

I had been trying to find this for so long, I asked anybody if they remember the white dracular guy with wooly hair and all he drank was milk, it was doing my head in, then I realised I had been watching this film when I was only 3years old... talk about nightmares wow, people I had been asking were alot younger than me lol. today I asked my mate Trev he is 40 and yep he would get home after school 7 at the time and freak out and would stay away from the fridge because of the milk which made sense why he does'nt have milk in his coffee lol. great stuff for me blast from the past cheers....
