“It’s a Dracula game!” Remember this?! The gloriously bizarre board game “I Vant To Bite Your Finger” by Hasbro — a plastic fanged vampire who literally marks your finger with red ink if you lose. Peak childhood chaos. Peak 1970s toy‑era unhinged brilliance.
Published by Ideal Toys in collaboration with Hasbro circa 1979, the game challenged players to avoid having their finger “bitten” by a Dracula vampire‑type character in order to progress. If you failed? Chomp. Two tiny red “bite marks” courtesy of a built‑in marker.
Dig out thee transportable back to that large plastic depiction of Dracula looming over the board — cape, collar, and all — with the little clock stand ticking ominously at the end of the game path. A spooky‑cute relic from a time when toys were allowed to be a little weird, a little theatrical, and a whole lot of fun.
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
Confess — did you ever get “bitten” by this Dracula growing up?
