I don't know if this has been commented upon before but Rankin Bass' Mad Monster Party! is a family favorite at my house, except for my wife who never liked it. I bought a DVD copy a year or two ago from Deep Discount.com and am very happy with the quality. It's about feature length, and while not as good as the classic Rankin Bass Christmas shows, is a great Halloween special. My favorite part is seeing a stop motion puppet of Boris Karloff. The two main problems with are the songs, ranging from forgettable to down right annoying, and Phyllis Diller. Yikes!
If you haven't seen this just buy it, I doubt anyone on these boards will be disappointed.

Cool! I thought for sure everyone here would have heard about this. Here's a good link that talks about the movie. Just remember who tipped you off on this thing. :wink: If you are a fan of the classic monsters (and their 60's revival) you'll love this.

Mad Monster Party is a halloween classic, or at least it should be.
