"Space Vampire" is the fourteenth episode of the 1st season of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.
Plot
- Coming Soon
Synopsis
What appears to be a deserted derelict spaceship crashes into an orbiting space station named Theta that Buck and Wilma are on. Buck checks out the ship and finds the remains of the crew, whom he learns were killed by a vampire-like creature known as the Vorvon. Buck doesn't realize that the Vorvon is still present until personnel aboard the space station – including Wilma – begin to be taken over by the strange creature, who can control the wills of other beings.
Notes
- Christopher Stone would later go on to play Bill Neill in the 1981 horror film The Howling.
- This pulls a lot from Bram Stoker's classic 1897 novel Dracula: One of the crew (who is hunting a creature) is named Helsing and the spaceship is the Demeter.
- There is a logic error: Twiki sees the footage of the drone with Buck, so why can his memory units be checked to confirm Buck's story?
