Synopsis

Butters is sure he's seen a vampire at school but he can't get anyone to listen to him. His investigations lead him to think that maybe he'd be better off as a Vampire. Meanwhile, the Goth Kids are angry and frustrated when the other kids can't tell the difference between a Goth and a Vampire.

Full Recap

The kids are getting computer lessons from Mr. Mackey; but while he struggles to figure out how to use a computer, the kids are playing Call of Duty. Butters comes into the lab saying that he's seen vampires in the school. No one seems to care and Cartman Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire   sends Butters off to document their movements and find out what their intentions are. The South Park Vampires club is hanging out in the gym and Butters has them under surveillance. Butters tape recorder starts making noise and his cover is blown, then he is surrounded by vampires. Butters uses his cross and runs away. In the hallway, the Goth Kids and the Vamp Kids encounter each other. Butters gets home and finds out that he is in trouble; for misfiling the Hamburger Helper in the Nestle Quik spot in the cupboard. He tries to tell his dad about what's on is mind, but it is to no avail. His dad threatens to ground him if he doesn't straighten out the cupboard. Butters realizes that vampires can do whatever they want and he comes to a decision. The next day at school he cautiously approaches the Vamp Kids, but he is told he's not cool enough. He just wants a chance and they'll think about it after he goes and gets them a few things. Meanwhile, the Goth Kids are becoming irritated that they are now being confused for the Vamp Kids. Butters returns with a case of Dr. Pepper and some Twizzlers, but he doesn't understand why the vampires want "people food". Having done well the Vamp Kids bring him to Hot Topic at the South Park Mall where they turn him into a vampire.

Butters returns home and tells his parents that he is "ungroundable". The Goth Kids are in Principal Victoria's office and she is chastising them for their "vampire" thing. The Goth Kids think that everyone is going to think they are vampires. They decide to go to the GAP and get some normal clothes, but socially the change in attire isn't any better for them. Butters goes into Cartman's bedroom, where he plans on feeding on his blood. He tries biting him, but realizes that he just can't do it, the thought of that tomato-y blood makes him vomit on Cartman's floor. Cartman sums up for his mother what he thinks has just happened. To solve their problem, the Goth Kids decide they need to get rid of the head vampire. They readily capture him and then try to figure out what to do with him.

[edit] Film, TV or theatrical adaptations

Doctor Zhivago has been adapted for film and stage several times:

• A 1959 Brazilian television film (currently unavailable) was the first film version. [1]

• The most famous adaptation is the 1965 film adaptation by David Lean, featuring the Egyptian actor Omar Sharif as Zhivago and English actress Julie Christie as Lara, with Geraldine Chaplin as Tonya and Alec Guinness as Yevgraf. The film was commercially successful and won five Oscars, but was a critical failure; currently, it is widely considered to be a classic popular film. Maurice Jarre's score, featuring the romantic "Lara's Theme," is a big part of the film's appeal. Though faithful to the novel's plot, depictions of several characters and events are noticeably different.

• A 2002 television serial with Hans Matheson, Keira Knightley, and Sam Neill was broadcast by ITV in the UK in November 2002 and on Masterpiece Theatre in the US in November 2003.

• A made-for-cable film remake was announced in 2002, and was to include Joseph Fiennes as Zhivago and Jeremy Irons as Komarovsky, but was canceled. It is unclear whether or not it was the Masterpiece Theatre production or a different version altogether. [2]

• An eleven-part Russian mini-series was released in 2006.

• Zhivago, a musical adaptation of Pasternak's novel rather than Lean's film, debuted at the La Jolla Playhouse in 2005 as a Page-To-Stage workshop, and then in a main-stage production which opened in May 2006. A Broadway debut was planned for 2007. It features music by Lucy Simon ("The Secret Garden"), a book by Michael Weller ("Hair," "Ragtime" screenplays), and lyrics by Michael Korie ("Doll" and the "Harvey Milk" opera libretto), and Amy Powers ("Lizzie Borden" and songs for "Sunset Boulevard").

• A musical called "Doktor Zhivago" was scheduled to premier in the Urals city of Perm' on March 22, 2007, and to remain in the repertoire of Perm' Drama Theatre throughout the 50th Anniversary year [3] [4]. Perm' claims many links with the novel since Pasternak was evacuated there during WW2. Perm' features in the novel under the name "Yuriatin" (which is a fictional city invented by Pasternak for the book) and many locations for events in the book can be accurately traced in Perm', since Pasternak left the street-names mostly unchanged.

  For example, the Public Reading-Room in which Yuri and Larissa have their chance meeting in "Yuriatin" is exactly where the book places it in contemporary Perm'.
