Jekyll and Hyde/The Vampyre crossover where allegedly it's about Hyde and Ruthven teaming up to do Some Mischief(TM), but in practice it mostly ends up being Jekyll and Ruthven loudly complaining about how no one can correctly pronounce their Scottish last names.

*It's technically supposed to be 'Jeekil' and 'Riven' respectively, but even adaptations frequently get it wrong.
