Fightenstein

Vincent Price - "Another lovely day begins, for ghosts and ghouls with greenish skin. So close your eyes, and you will find that you've arrived in Frightenstein. Perhaps the Count will find a way to make his monster work today. For if he solves this monster-mania, he can return to Transylvania. So welcome where the sun won't shine, to the castle of Count Frightenstein!"

The 1971 Kid's show from Canada was one of my favorite things to watch growing up. Starring Billy Van and short narration from Vincent Price. It was weird and creepy. Amazing gothic sets and a strange overly dramatic cast of monsters, ghouls and Brucie J. Monster. A weird slapstick laugh-in for spooky kids. It made the Sid and Marty Croft shows look somewhat normal. Availible on DVD.

Welcome to the Castle. Enter at your own risk.
