The Drak Pack

Animal
Vampire
Packer

Outfit: dramatic cape / puffy shirt / the worst put-together crotch on a pair of pants I have ever seen

Tagline:  "WACKO!"   This isn't a joke.  When Drak, Frankie, and Howler wanted to transform into their monster-selves, they clasped their hands together and shouted "WACKO!"   Somewhere Michael Jackson is reading this and going, "oh, well, that's disappointing I guess."

Plot summary:  Obviously NOT inspired by the Dell comic book about Frankenstein, the Wolfman, and Dracula fighting evil as superheroes and completely different from the NBC sitcom "Monster Squad" about Frankenstein, the Wolfman, and Dracula fighting evil as superheroes, Hanna-Barbera's "The Drak Pack" follows Frankenstein, the Wolfman, and Dracula as they fight evil as superheroes. Okay, they aren't the actual Frankenstein, Wolfman, or Dracula. They're Frankenstein, the Wolfman, and Dracula's KIDS. Not together. Individually. Wolfman's got nards but I doubt Frankenstein's got ovaries. They might've stitched them onto the back of his head as a joke, though, I don't know.

Hoping to atone for his great-uncle Dracula's evildoings, Drak, Jr., who must've gotten the "junior" after his name in the same way Rey Mysterio, Jr. and James Bond, Jr. got theirs, forms a pack of drak to battle DOCTOR DRED and his stable of, uh, other monsters. A mummy, some bats, another vampire, you know. I think the worst thing I ever saw him do was stand in a room holding a vial while cackling. Ah well, sucks to be the Drak Pack's Cobra, I guess. As soon as you start getting bent on world domination the show's canceled and you're back to getting your shit fucked by teens and their talking microwave, or whatever.  (more)

User Comments:  The show only lasted for 16 episodes, but it lives on in the hearts of anybody gay enough to play "Vampire: The Masquerade," choose the Toreador clan, and think they're cool when they say their art of choice is the "art of WAR." Drak was a pretty straight up vampire, and being a humanoid he avoided the shirtless collars and afro-neckerchiefs of the cartoon world. Those pants look seriously rough, though. Like the crotch is a big arrow. Either Drak's blowing up his hip flexors or he's got rotating legs like a Ken doll. For your personal information, Ken dolls do really great spinning wheel kicks. Also, shut up.

"The Drak Pack" was ultimately forgettable, but who could forget the poignant last episode?
