My RANKIN/BASS' MAD MONSTER PARTY hardcover book and I will sign and draw in the book for you! I put everything I had in the RANKIN/BASS archives into the book :) My dear friend Phyllis Diller has passed away BUT I was able to get the book to her, just after it was released and she loved it! The movie contains what we know as the classic universal monsters all in one film: DRACULA, FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER (FANG), THE WOLFMAN, THE CREATURE OF THE BLACK LAGOON, THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME, DR. JEKYLL & MR. HYDE, THE MUMMY, KING KONG (IT) and many more. All the fun of ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN but in ANIMAGIC! The great Boris Karloff appeared in the film as UNCLE BORIS and it was one of his last films. From the era of The Munsters and The Addams Family, this is a comedy for the entire family!
