review by
Mike Haberfelner

It's Halloween, and even though this seems to be the perfect holiday for the all-monster crew of Transylvania Television, the head honcho of the outfit, vampiric Count LeShoc (voiced by Charles Hubbell) won't allow his crew to celebrate this event - not that any of them would give a shit what he might order, suggest or imply even. But the Count's hatred for Halloween is deeply rooted, as every Halloween, he finds himself (in his coffin) in the lost luggage department of some airport or other, and this Halloween it's Denver - where he happens upon a female mummy who's stuck there since 1973 ...

Meanwhile, Dwayne Frankenstein, the Frankenstein monster of the outfit, goes to the roof to lure the Pumpkin Prince of Halloween to the place, with so-so results. And Batfink (Laszlo Nemesi) and the place's resident Yeti Furry J. Ackermonster do go down to the dungeons of Transylvania Television to find out the true meaning of Halloween ... with surprising results.

At the Halloween party meanwhile, it's finally found out who hides behind Halloween's own Michael Myer's mask that's supposed to be a William Shatner mask - and it is ... well, you might have guessed from the intro to this ;)

 

Now this is fun! Sure, when you compare it to other puppet shows/movies, it's not as ingenious as The Muppets (in their best days of course) nor as extreme as Meet the Feebles, but what it is is good and intentionally silly fun, playing with characters that despite being based on clichées just don't get old, carried by a likeably macabre and at times racy kind of humour, and the bunch of simplistic yet effective puppets one has come to expect from the series.

Lots of fun, really!
