Holiday TV: 'The Baron's Bride' (Friday the 13th, The Series)

 It is another Friday the 13th (in October, no less), so let's watch another Episode of...

In this Episode, they try to get a hold of a magical cloak, but run afoul of a vampire as well!

This is...

Our Heroes go to retrieve a magical cloak, but there's a catch- a vampire is involved.

She invites a man to take the Guest Room...and bites him.

They arrive and are too late to stop it.  

They manage to kill her with, ironically enough, the yard sign she staked out in front of the House.

However, the newly-vampiric man gets blood on the cloak and sends himself (alongside our heroes) back in time!

So, to be clear, it is a magic coat that makes women fall in love with you...and also time travels if you get blood on the pendant.  Sure.

They arrive in the late 19th Century England and meet Abraham.  He's a Writer.

And yes, it will be in black and white from now on.

Somehow, the Vampire got sent to the same time, but also a different alley, so he's on the loose.

He's entranced our Female Lead and she tries to fight it...but not very well.

Said Vampire is also going through some...changes, as it were.

I think there's a cream for that.

In the End, Abraham's Fiancée is killed by the Vampire and he takes his would-be Bride.

Abraham recovers from his grief to stake the Vampire and the duo return home.

It is only then that they find out who Abraham was- he was Bram Stoker. 
Oh boy!

It doesn't suck, but there's also not much bite.  Vampire puns complete.

The Plot is fine, but they don't do a whole lot with the time travel premise.  We don't get much from the premise really on the low-budget TV setting.  I like the black-and-white look though- that helps.

Their vampire looks nice though- both of them, in fact.  That's a plus.

It is funny in a way to watch this right before Marvel releases the COLOR version of their Werewolf by Night Special that originally ran in black-and-white.  Oh the irony.

Do I wonder why the magical cloak entrances women and also time travels?  Yes.
Do they explain it?  No.
Any clues, Jack?

A decent Episode with a weird combo of Vampire and Time Travel Premises.  I just wish that this wasn't mostly just Quantum Leap with a bit of horror.
