Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
不知道为什么这部评价这么高……而我小时候竟然没看过……不过总的来说还是挺有乐趣的，尤其是后半部分哈~
一根反骨，两颗赤心，中国神话版的盗火者。不长的篇幅里囊括了天上人间两套系统。天界以玉帝为首位列仙班的众仙只顾自己的尊荣，将本应造福众生的天书封锁起来，只有小小一个袁公起了大胆的善念。凡间的蛋生与三狐在抢夺天书的过程中，经历了百姓、县官、府尹、皇帝，最底层的苦楚与高位者层层递进的颟顸、残忍（将皇帝的形象安排为一个极为残忍无知的人偶娃娃尤其有深意）。蛋生与三狐其实也是一个镜面对比，他们一起诞生于丹炉，三狐要天书是为了“吃的穿的用的都能变出来”，而蛋生只是一派天真地“会点法术”，遇见不平事即助困苦人。也不知中国人是否确实不相信叛逆的力量，每每有破局总是以悲剧结尾，袁公被擒，哪吒被感化改造成观音童子，孙悟空俯首取经安安份份成佛。但蛋生目送师父的眼泪和坚毅的眼神似乎预示着接下来不平凡的走向。
没想到即使是天书上的法术，也不能凭空变出东西来，金银和食物都是从百姓家里搬来的，连神仙都不能从根本上解决资源问题，只能靠仙法干涉分配上的问题，因此得利的人直呼遇见活神仙，反之就打为邪门歪道，总之神仙就是靠不住。
小時候就就覺得很好看啊！不知道為什么現在的中國動畫這么難看
看了很多遍.喜欢.那个年轻的女狐狸精真美,声音也动人.
一起看过的。《蜡笔小新》的剧场版到底给豆瓣er下了什么降头，它不难看，但绝对不是一部9分的动画电影。
小时候不觉得什么，长大后再看却是现实和人生呀
剧本并不能说特别好，但妙在各自之间，每个角色的独特设计与演出，以及角色与场景的融洽。相比日本动画擅长的横轴延展，本作呈现中国动画的形式在于多处化横向银幕矩形为局部视野，以纵向徐徐拉开一幅幅卷轴画，上至云顶，下至城邑，天界人间的神话体系早已决定着这种现代演绎形式。
都是童年回忆，为啥我感觉是童年阴影，现在看来也感觉阴间
形象确实很经典，但是大概只有我一个人觉得人设略诡异，配音略雷人吧…苍白的面颊，漆黑的瞳孔，僵尸一样的府尹大人和俩莫名其妙的和尚，以及蛋生一发笑我就起鸡皮疙瘩的感觉，实在不是特别美妙…虽然是好动画，但是我依然觉得囧…
11.3 呜呜呜，袁公就这么被抓走了！！！为什么天书奇谈没有续集！！！曾经中国的文化工作者真的在很勇敢的嘲讽权贵，那样的岁月再也没有了。
普罗米修斯+民间故事，但剧本搞成这样着实浪费好题材……
音乐和美术好评，修复的魅力也好评，故事稍微有点虎头蛇尾
番长摘下面具后 我在心里大喊：我又初恋了！
确实挺特色的，封建脸谱那一套，不过故事还是不行…
2010年年后再CCTV少儿台上又重温了这部动画，无愧为经典。
优秀的有点诡异的动画，老狐狸，俏狐狸，单腿狐狸。
第一，上美影的技术能力衰退比较严重，不知道84年改制的背景是什么，但从这部能感到，上美影制作大体量长片的力不从心。静帧的背景图画的尚可，但其它部分的线条直楞、配色粗陋，相比美、日已经全面落后了。人物形象借鉴了京剧脸谱，但更大范围上是借鉴了美国动画，有诸多生硬嵌入其中的美式喜剧桥段——比如蛋生从井里捞出来肚子鼓胀的小和尚，用力挤压，和尚喷水肚子变瘪——这就完全是《猫和老鼠》的场面了，童自荣都装成结巴来搞笑了。第二，故事完全没有逻辑，三个狐精上山偷翻袁公东西，瘸腿狐还想吃了蛋，但它们慌乱逃下山之后，和蛋重逢时为何撒谎骗来蛋之后给埋了？它们第一次遇见蛋是给当做食物，第二次给埋了是把蛋当成什么了？请问这角色是有什么样的逻辑？之后三狐精和蛋生斗法的逻辑同样乱七八糟，狐精到底图个啥？小皇帝的角色有什么用？
哇塞，很喜欢有木有~~~看了3、4遍吧，依旧看不厌~童年啊童年
每次伟大真相被人类获知的时候，背后都有先行者的抗争和牺牲。
