Synopsis

Programmes featuring the immortal Count Homogenized have been among the most requested titles 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. He later won his own series. In this early episode he 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.

Actually, Count Homogenized scared the living daylights out of me when I was a kid (about 7 at the time). I had really bad nightmares about this character, and would wake up screaming with night terrors.
I'd force myself to sit in front of the telly when it was on in the hopes of ridding myself of my fear, with my eyes tightly shut and would then peek through one eye, quickly covering it up with my hand.

I'm sure it wasn't a scary programme at all but for some bizarre reason it haunted me something chronic. Might explain my total aversion to milk, can't stand the stuff.

Where can I find more episodes of A Haunting we will Go? I just showed my 10yo daughter, she thinks count Homogenised is cool too. I loved this show too when it first showed 1979-1980. I have been looking for it online for a while, finally found this site yesterday.

Talk about a blast from the past! "It Is I, Count Homogenised" was one of my favourite TV programs as a young fella. Awesome! Bring back Count Homogenised :-)
