    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In order to keep expenses down, the film's producers did not want to pay royalty fees for the use of the names "King Kong", "the Frankenstein Monster", "the Bride of Frankenstein", "Quasimodo" and "the Creature from the Black Lagoon". That is why many of the characters - though recognizable - are all called by different names; i.e., King Kong is "It", the Frankenstein Monster is "Fang", the Bride of Frankenstein is simply "the Monster's Mate", Quasimodo is called "the Hunchback of Notre Dame" and the Creature from the Black Lagoon is called simply "the Creature". The names "Count Dracula", "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", and "the Invisible Man" were in the public domain at the time of the film's production and thus, as no royalty fees were required for their use, they appeared in the film.
    • Goofs
      When the clock chimes, Baron Boris von Frankenstein says it is 1:00, but the clock actually reads 6:55. In addition, it chimes six times.
    • Quotes

      Baron von Frankenstein: Everybody must have had quite a time last night. There was a huge pile of leftovers in the dining room.

      Francesca: I wonder who it was.

    • Alternate versions
      In the new DVD release of the film by Anchor Bay, at the very end of it the word "Yeah", which is sung by Francesca and followed by a couple of creepy musical notes, is not included.

    ♫ you know Rudolph and Jack Frost and Nestor and Frosty, but do you recall . . .
    a feature-length, stop-motion animated Halloween musical from Rankin/Bass, the studio which produced most of the animated Christmas classics (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, etc.), as well as The Hobbit (1977)

    the film features Boris Karloff as the voice of Baron Boris von Frankenstein and Allen Swift as virtually every other character. some character designs and voices are better than others, my favourites being Dracula, Mummy and Jekyll & Hyde. the set pieces are creative and detailed

    i don't particularly care for the song-and-dance numbers, although the tap-dancing Dracula is amusing, but the jazzy, brass-driven score by Maury Laws in itself makes this a film worth watching. the story is interesting but ends rather abruptly, and the final product could probably have been cut down to about an hour without sacrificing anything crucial

    imagine Bobby Pickett's Halloween novelty Monster Mash album transmuted into cinema, and you'll have a pretty decent idea of what to expect
