| | Description: | Boris Karloff and Phyllis Diller lend their vocal talents to this glorious stop-motion animated parody of horror films. As Dr. Frankenstein makes plans for his retirement, he calls for a council meeting of all monsters dark and ghoulish to announce his replacement. As the word spreads that the doctor is going to choose his young nephew- protigi for the position, the visiting creatures begin to plot a nasty coup d'itat that would leave the sadistic Dr. Frankenstein retired "on ice." MAD MONSTER PARTY is the first of a run of animated hits (FROSTY THE SNOWMAN, LITTLE DRUMMER BOY, THE HOBBIT) by dreamweavers Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin. Starring Boris Karloff, Phyllis Diller, Gale Garnett Director Jules Bass"Mad Monster Party" on DVD from Lions Gate invites viewers into a delightfully macabre stop-motion animation that blends classic horror motifs with sharp comedy and imaginative design. Set on a remote island where legendary monsters gather for a wild convention, the film affectionately parodies the entire monster canon while delivering a family-friendly spectacle filled with visual gags and musical numbers. The story follows Baron Boris von Frankenstein as he plans to announce a major discovery to an audience of famous creatures such as Dracula, the Mummy, the Werewolf and more, setting off rivalries, misunderstandings and chaotic fun. The DVD format provides a stable, easy-to-use way to experience the film, ideal for collectors of cult animation, retro horror-comedy and genre history on physical media, with straightforward navigation and compatibility with most standard DVD players and home cinema setups.
