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".
当官的手下是坏的，
女狐狸：桃花，乱花渐欲迷人眼，胭脂水粉惑人心。
现在的小孩真可怜，只有喜洋洋灰太狼那种水准的动画。
啥时演，啥时必看的动画片，咱们啥时还有如此经典的国产动画片可以无限回味~~~
故事编排和美术设计都是一流，集隐喻反讽传统技艺于一体的优秀之作，结尾铿锵有力掷地有声，实乃国漫不可多得之经典。
“你是蛋生的，所以叫蛋生~”
意味很多
1、几只狐狸和小孩怪可爱的；2、仙人像普罗米修斯，不过技术有点儿落后，有现在的复印技术，人人都有一本天书不是梦；3、天庭保护天书的护法也太简陋了；4、天庭罗汉式的设置挺好，希望仙侠电视剧能参考；5、小孩就是仙人的继承人（克隆体）吧，一模一样的标记😄；6、几个狐狸很天然，很野性；7、山水园林的场景好评，让我想起小时候房子里挂的山水画；
一个小瑕疵，字幕好像把恕罪打成赎罪了。
83年啊，怪不得本片的意识形态能如此大胆，但凡是个官都被塑造的肮脏又龌龊，浓浓的推翻一切统治阶级的味道。传统中国美术片的审美很耐看，只是剧本太弱了，经不起推敲。
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
2008//2019分别标记过，现在2022仍不记得看过，为什么看一遍忘一遍？我和这部9.1的国产动画到底有什么仇？带着这样的疑惑又看了一遍4K版，中途迷幻到三次差点睡着，结局戛然而止让人匪夷所思，果然是我无法看懂的一部电影：天书有什么好，为什么非要蛋生学会？天书带来了那么多混乱和灾难，为什么袁公就确信一个吃了老奶奶饼可以抹抹嘴说句谢谢扭头就走的孩子，一个可以粗心到把天书丢了的孩子，学会就可以为苍生带来福祉？我确实没看懂。
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。
童年回忆重温，再次被简单故事里饱含的情感震到流泪。袁公白衣红髯、身被铁链束缚直飞上界的画面，有巨大的悲剧美。蛋生高叫师父又与悟空哪吒合一，永恒的中国孤儿。剧本的喜剧色彩与人物设计有大量传统戏曲的元素，剧情则是把整个中国社会从上到下的结构讽刺个遍，除了朴素的劳动人民，处处是无尽的贪腐与压榨。直上天庭，天庭又如何。袁公真英雄，八十年代启蒙色彩的普罗米修斯。
至今仍在心中留着最美的印象
以前的音乐还真不好听...但是以前的动画片都不糊弄小朋友 现在都是把小朋友当傻逼
好多朋友怎么都觉得《天书奇谭》有下集呢？ 特地重看了下，再查了下刚到手的剧本，没有显示有下集的任何迹象，可能是结尾让大家觉得没过瘾。我印象老不出下集的是《西岳奇童》~~ 后来出了，做得不怎么样。。。
ps.这部节奏很赞！值得学习
有些地方是没有电影做不了电影的😔
2010年年后再CCTV少儿台上又重温了这部动画，无愧为经典。
