Baron von Frankenstein voiced by Boris Karloff, decides to retire, leaving the monster business to his nerdy nephew, Felix Flankin. He calls an international roster of monsters to a creepy convention. The party consists of the Creature and his mate voiced by Phyllis Diller, Frankenstein's seductive assistant Francesca voiced by the sexy Gale Garnett, Dracula, the Werewolf, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Invisible Man, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, The Mummy, and It… It seems to be King Kong and I imagine they were told not to use the name because of legal reasons.
I loved this when I was a kid! I still love stop-motion, but watching this with a 13 year old in the room proved to me kids today are way more sophisticated. She seemed completely bored with this after years of loving Tim Burton's "Vincent," "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Corpse Bride".
Mad Magazine creator Harvey Kurtzman penned the script, but the puns and jokes fall so flat one would think Famous Monsters of Filmland's Forrest J. Ackerman had written the script.
