Transylvania 6-5000 is a 1963 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Chuck Jones and Maurice Noble. Bugs Bunny is burrowing through the ground, aiming to get to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Instead, he ends up smashing headfirst into a gnarled tree, on which is displayed a location sign: "Pittsburghe, Transylvania."Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })As he emerges from his hole, Bugs notices a two-headed vulture (Agatha and Emily) and asks them for directions. Since they seem more concerned with making a meal out of him, he goes over to the old castle—which he mistakes for a hotel—in the distance.At the castle, Bugs meets a vampire who introduces himself as Count Bloodcount. Though Bugs is only looking for a telephone, Bloodcount insists that he rest up at the castle before making his call. While he is still as much a Karmic Trickster as ever, Bugs is portrayed as unaware of the reality of his current surroundings and easily taken advantage of at the start.This cartoon is notable for being the final classic Bugs Bunny cartoon directed by Chuck Jones, and for arguably being the final GOOD Looney Tunes cartoon of the classic era. Later edited (mostly intact) into 1988's Daffy Duck's Quackbusters, while excerpts were also edited into 1977's Bugs Bunny's Howl-oween Special (with Count Bloodcount now portrayed as Witch Hazel after drinking Dr. Jekyll's Hyde potion)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Should not be confused with the 1985 film of the same title.

Batman Gambit: While he doesn’t appear fully aware of the true nature of the female two-headed vulture, Bugs does use it to his advantage once he’s converted Count Bloodcount into their Spear Counterpart.

Bowdlerization: Cut from ABC’s airing of this cartoon were: Bugs' comment “Be a wonderful place for a vacation” and ringing Count Bloodcount’s doorbell, since the doorbell’s operation requires Bugs to pull a visible noose. The same noose still being seen is why the shot of Bloodcount opening the door to let Bugs in is also cut. ABC also cut Bloodcount’s line “It’s never too late” to make room for his next line, “Come in,” which had originally played over the door opening shot.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Accidental Hero: At first Bugs is unaware that Count Bloodcount is out to get him, but also unwittingly thwarts him just by chanting the magic words he learned in a Spell Book ("Magic Words and Phrases").
