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".
好象是这个月十几号看的
《天书奇谭》改编自明代罗贯中、冯梦龙的长篇神魔小说《平妖传》中部分章节，保留了狐狸精的片段，把担子和尚改成小孩蛋生，并重新创作了剧本，很多情节可以在中国传统民间故事里找到。
小时侯是个终极fans,从书到动画片还有磁带,一应俱全
当年每逢电视台重播，满院子的孩子就都没影儿了——统统回家看电视去。。。
出乎意料的好！对现实社会问题的嘲讽和恶搞，对生活小细节和恶趣味的捕捉，熟悉的新酱味道，让我想到小新一定也继承了日本庶民剧的风格。这部主题太赞了，将人生意义和价值观具象化，二元但有趣，从阶层化社会到精英教育，暴露的是当下东亚社会普遍的焦虑心理啊……庶民和普通人的价值终于被肯定，再一次感受到了《蜡笔小新》这部作品核心价值观的温柔～新酱，反内卷第一人(┯_┯)看完真是又热血又治愈啊，是有效的鸡汤～
之前在电视上看时感觉一般，但今年在大银幕上看感觉特别好。讲故事的手法现在看有年代感了，但是故事的内涵、美术的表现，意味深长，气韵十足，既有民族感又有现代感，这样的电影，在中国当下仍然很难得。11月6日于影院。
就记得小时候看过，再一看，果然看过。美术很中国，故事也很中国，连那夸张的动作都很中国。再看的感受是，怎么会这么蠢呢？怎么会这样，怎么会那样，骗小孩差不多。一想，现实里难道不就是这样吗？现在不会有这种动画片了吧。
（剧终之后随附纪录短片：幕后花絮，由导演分享讲述，以及此次的修复工作概览）
袁公的显妖镜、邓布利多的冥想盆以及门卫大叔的监控屏幕都在深邃地揭示电影的本体意义
我想的是看到马克思的形象，袁公的脸是很适合的一个缩写，马克思的《资本论》就是工人阶级的救世天书，触犯统治阶级颜面的他只能落下个悲痛的离去下场，而早已看穿一切的马克思微笑夹杂讽刺地面对，上层建筑早已需要修改完善，天书方法却被压制不让生产，生产力和生产关系的冲突就在此刻！
好看！！！
哇，小时候就是这个风格的动画伴我很久~fancy那时候的动画和电视剧~现在的小孩太可怜太可怜……
11.3 呜呜呜，袁公就这么被抓走了！！！为什么天书奇谈没有续集！！！曾经中国的文化工作者真的在很勇敢的嘲讽权贵，那样的岁月再也没有了。
这推理不比柯南剧场版强？
小时候看过宣传画报，现在看时，与想象中的儿童动画有点不太一样，这一部其实并不适合儿童看：和尚是色眯眯的，官僚都是贪得无厌的，就连玉帝也是边吃瓜子边升堂的。很容易就想到主创想表达什么意思了。其次是形态各异的人设，只用看看外表就晓得；再次是配乐，民族感极强。这才是中国动画长片。
云梦山上白云洞，洞中石壁，刻有天书，袁公将其传与蛋生，造福百姓，吃了仙丹的三条狐狸，招摇撞骗，偷了天书，从百姓一路骗到县令、府尹、小皇帝，蛋生与狐母斗法，不分上下，终得袁公出手，改编自平妖传，钱运达所言奇趣美，不能反驳。
虽然主角的眼神现在看不够犀利，但是在他诞生的那个年代，那个动画长片一只手能数的过来的年代。这部动画片就太惊艳了，现在看，仍然是惊艳的感觉。
11.14.07.Secrets.Of.The.Heavenly.Book.1983_天书奇谭
音乐和美术好评，修复的魅力也好评，故事稍微有点虎头蛇尾
20年后，小新再一次用拼尽全力的奔跑让人流泪🥺这次是为了那些哪怕会被称作「无意义」却依然的拼尽全力。看到最后，突然想到最开头：「妈妈，我不能呼吸了」“这是一星期份的抱抱”。啊啊啊啊啊啊～美伢🥹🥹🥹好感动哇～～～
