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".

《天书奇谭》当然是一部很不错的动画片，比《哪吒之魔童降世》要强很多，但似乎被捧得太高了。这里的一个重要原因，是袁公的形象，符合八十年代知识分子的自我想象，孤傲，怀才不遇，只有自己才能救苍生……当然，现在我们都知道了，实际情况和知识分子的自我想象相去甚远，也许犬儒才是知识分子的主要特征。
蹦入东京梦华录~
刚开始以为是black humor，记过他说是惊悚片？
该片讲述天宫里的袁公偷盗天书，刻在石洞里，后被三只狐狸偷学。狐狸修炼天书法术后，危害百姓。最后由天鹅蛋化为人形的蛋生，学习法术后和袁公一起消灭了狐妖，而袁公因泄露天机，被抓回了天庭。
“奇、趣、美”，“探民族风格之路，敲喜剧样式之门”；
这是一部十分强大的动画片，什么时候中国动画能重振旗鼓。
我觉得小时候应该看过，但确实记不得了，不知道是不是当时被吓到或者怎样……其实中国动画就应该这样，很有自己的特点，无论是故事还是绘画。层层递进地故事情节丝毫不会让人觉得无聊，每一层毫无拖沓。
我怎么那么那么喜欢这部 我觉得画的真是太好咧
天书是把双刃剑。感觉反派刻画更多更生动。中间比较松散，结尾有些悲壮。为中式动画情怀加一星
哇咔咔，蛋生，现在还在想这个名字
《天书奇谭》：一部让我从小到大都很喜爱的国产动画电影佳作。谢谢你给我这个动画迷留下奇妙美好的回忆。—— 2015.05.01：这部经典，不仅可以吸引小朋友们，还能留住大朋友。邻居几个大人看到我和小朋友们在我家门口观看《天书奇谭》，也过来“凑热闹”，和我们一起观影，好些情节把大家逗乐到不行！—— 2021.11.05：时隔多年后，带上小外甥，在影院大银幕重温4K修复纪念版《天书奇谭》。电影的画面真是有够高清，甚至连绘画的纸纹都清晰可见；色彩的饱和度也挺高，增添了画面的韵味与美感；还注意到混录的声效有方位的变化……看得我都期待未来也能够在大银幕重温4K修复版《大闹天宫》《哪吒闹海》。& 正片后的纪录片 → 钱运达：艺术如果没有创新，就没有生命力。
重看反而看到了很多槽点 修复之后高清和重饱和度反而失去了味道
沉香救母的最初映像，下部等了N年出来了，却没有当时的热情了
镜头感十足。为什么女主干翻全场？因为导演是女主未婚夫。
县知府：不倒翁，官运亨通两边倒，剥削百姓有一套。
“蛋生抬头，但见白云弥漫，苍天茫茫”末尾的纪录片看到剧本最后一句破大防了，蛋生和袁公的师徒之情，金风玉露一相逢，便胜却人间无数。最终袁公被押上天庭，只给蛋生留下造福苍生的责任。天庭、袁公与蛋生、狐妖、官员、百姓几个立场刻画得入木三分。说句题外话，《刺客伍六七》很有这部作品的神韵，戏剧化的动作和语言，滑稽的举止，脸谱化（褒义）的人物，从传统戏曲一脉相承，这才是国漫特色啊！！
蛋生：打倒了妖精却无法击垮体制，拯救了百姓却无法拯救师父。
中国动画史上不错的作品了,三只狐狸精比主角还抢戏~
这部我小时候没看过诶！补了之后感觉很喜欢！
