I Vant to Bite Your Finger
July 29th, 2009 by John Wolfe
Yesterday’s Sounds of Terror entry reminded me of another fond time during my childhood. Roughly two years after incessantly jamming out to Goofy Gold’s tracks of horror, I discovered the board game “I Vant to Bite Your Finger.” My parents gave it to me as a gift in 1981. Within five seconds of unwrapping the plastic, I popped it out of the box and corralled every kid I could find in the neighborhood. It was time for a high stakes game of stick your finger in cardboard Dracula’s pie hole. 
I can’t recall a lot about the actual game-play, but the main point was to avoid having ‘Drac’ chomp down on the old digits. His bark was definitely worse than his bite, however, since the character’s fangs consisted of soft, felt-tip markers. If he chomped, then you were left with little remnants in the form of two red dots.
One of these days, I’ll swing by my parents’ house and search their attic. While my copy of “Goofy Gold With Horror Sounds” is long gone, I’m pretty sure Dracula is still up there, vaiting and vanting to bite once more.
