Der kleine Vampir – Neue Abenteuer is a German children's television series made in 1993. The series counts 13 episodes and is based upon the books The Little Vampire Takes a Trip and The Little Vampire on the Farm, which are part of the Der kleine Vampir series written by German author Angela Sommer-Bodenburg.

The series had previously been the basis for the 1986 series Der kleine Vampir, which was based upon other books in the series. Different actors were used for the 1993 series because the original actors had grown too old for the roles by that point. The 1993 series is neither a successor concerning the story. The 1993 series also introduces the characters of the parents of Anna and Rudiger. Uncle Theodor, who was a main character in the 1986 series, does not appear in the 1993 series because he is dead (which is in line with the books).

Synopsis

Anton Bohnsack, a 10-year-old boy, is befriended with Rüdiger von Schlotterstein and his sister Anna. Anton's parents, Helga and Robert, are not very eager as Rüdiger and Anna are rather marginal: they are filthy and wear odd clothes. In reality, Rüdiger and Anna are vampires living with their family in a secret crypt at the old part of the local cemetery. Anton experiences many adventures with the vampires which he also tells to his parents. They do not believe him as Anton has a fascination with horror stories. Anna and Rüdiger can fly by using their vampire cloaks. They gave Anton the vampire cloak of their uncle Theodor who was once killed by vampire hunters. Furthermore, Anna is in love with Anton.

Anton is cheered with the upcoming holidays, but his parents decided to spend their vacation at a farm in Ottenbüttel. Anton asks Rüdiger to join, but he refuses as he is not confident with a (temporarily) live at a farm. Due to an incident between Rüdiger and his cousin Jörg, Rüdiger is forced to hide so he and Anna do travel to the farm.

Rüdiger is almost trapped by the farmer. Doctor Heinrich Stöbermann reveals to be a vampire hunter and a good friend of Johann Geiermeier. Geiermeier, also a vampire hunter, is the handyman and gravedigger of the cemetery where Rüdiger and his family reside. Heinrich suspects there are vampires around the farm and asks Geiermeier to come over. Geiermeier ends up in a vampire trap set up by Stöbermann. Next day, a furious Geiermeier leaves the farm and does not want to see Stöbermann anymore.

Anton, who learned to ride the horses, wins a horseman tournament. He, Rüdiger and Anna also go to the "International Vampire Party". Anton is surprised to meet his parents at the party.
