One of Rankin/Bass' earliest works is a feature-length monster mash!

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

Mad Monster Party debuted in theatres in 1967, many months before Halloween, and it wasn't meant to be for Halloween originally, even in spite of the monsters in it! You never know what kind of spooks or kooks you'll see next in this feature-length stop-motion classic; it even has the voices of Boris Karloff as Baron von Frankenstein (also as the Grinch and his narrator) and Phyllis Diller as the Monster's Mate (also as the Queen Ant of A Bug's Life)! If you're after more than just Rankin/Bass' Christmas classics, like a Rankin/Bass completist, this and its TV 2D-animated followup from 1972, Mad Mad Mad Monsters, will be tough to find new AND cheap on DVD (or here on Blu-ray) as of 2018! Monsters Mashes like this lead to countless other monster-filled Halloween classics, especially the Legend of Boo-kini Bottom in 2017! Get ready to party hearty with Mad Monster Party, at Halloween or any old time!

Retro Fun Classic in HD

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is a fun & charming indulgence for anyone who grew up with the cheapie stylish hurky jerky stopmo anime of Rankin/Bass.
If you have a Samsung TV with Auto Motion Plus you can use it to smooth out the rough animation somewhat.
It's an interesting effect but it imparts the usual pseudo video sharpness.

Audiovisual quality of Bluray is very good overall but would be excellent if film scratches were removed.
Very little grain in picture, impressive.

Great Extras, lots of fun for the little ones!

Worthwhile purchase.

A wonderfully simple and entertaining film from a wonderfully simple time.

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

It was tremendous fun to have the opportunity to watch this fun little film again. I remember it from my youth, and watching it brought back a flood of old memories. The sheer simplicity of it all and yet some pretty mature scenes that strangely would be frowned on in today's so-called sophisticated society.

There's a lot to be said of what we lost when we decided to replace simple, fun little movies like this with commercials and commercialism masquerading as entertainment. Mad Monster Party indeed.

Jack Davis' versions of the classic monsters is a nice combination of comical and creepy

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2014

Verified Purchase

After deciding the movie needed more humor, Rankin and Bass wisely turned to Mad Magazine editor Harvey Kurtzman to liven the film up. Jack Davis' versions of the classic monsters is a nice combination of comical and creepy, not too scary to frighten children but not so toony looking as to discourage adults from watching it, as only an artist experienced in both horror (Tales from the Crypt) and humor (Mad) could do it. Sadly after the failure of The Wacky World of Mother Goose and The Daydreamer, Mad Monster Party was presumed to be more of the same and was released only to children's matinees with the belief adults wouldn't want to watch it. King Kong is referred to as "It" because, being an RKO character and not Universal like the others, they couldn't get the rights to the name. (Abbott and Costello also failed to get the rights to the name, thus having to call their giant ape picture Africa Screams and not Abbott and Costello Meet King Kong.) If you're a fan of more recent films like Igor or Hotel Transylvania, take a look at the movie that inspired them. And remember...none of us are perfect...are perfect...are perfect...

Fun blast from the past

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2021

I remembered watching this when I was a kid, and decided to order it from Amazon after having no luck finding it (for free, at least) on the streaming services I subscribe to. It's a fun watch. Darker than the other Rankin/Bass holiday specials (as is to be expected) with and ending that's rather dark followed by a neat final twist (the twist was pretty much the only thing I remembered from watching it as a kid). I still need to watch some of the "behind the scenes" extras, but I'm sure they're worthwhile. Definitely worth checking out and making a Halloween tradition.

My least favorite of Holiday Stop Motion Animation

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

I LOVE Rankin & Bass stop motion animation movies- was super excited to get more movies to bring out for more Holidays. This one is probably my least favorite. It's ok and fun for what it is, but I can tell why it's not a staple on tv channels at Halloween time like at Christmas (at least since the 70's). It's VERY 60's-ish style- using lots of lingo like Groovy. The songs were pretty blah in our opinion too. My husband and I are not really fans of the 60s/70s style era movies- but can appreciate a few. I even loved Scooby-Doo re-run cartoons as a kid (but still didn't like the lingo even back then). This one was just too much for us to take in. Especially for 95 minutes!! We got it last year for Halloween time and sadly we only made it about 30 min and then finally got bored and shut it off. Maybe we can make it to the end next year- but not sure. Was bummed because the trailer was really cute (so we did know what era we were in for) showing so many horror characters as well as Boris Karloff's voice and I also love horror movies. I thought I'd love it. Sadly- didn't.

A decent movie to watch while carving pumpkins or something.

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2015

Made by the same stop-action animators who did the Christmas Classics: Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Santa Claus is Comin' to Town, and The Year Without a Santa Claus, this movie has a bit more macabre topic. An evil scientist who looks distractingly like Leslie Nielsen lives on an island with the monsters of his creation. He invites his nephew to come to his island, and the monsters aren't quite sure how to take him. So they try to kill him before embracing him all the while everyone and their dogs shamelessly and chauvinistically ogles the unusually busty secretary to the scientist, Franciska. Phillis Diller pops in constantly with some witty, if out-dated, pop-culture references from the era this movie was made (1950's-60's).
It isn't something I'd watch all the time, but I could see this movie being a staple of our Halloween traditions. They did a much better job on the Christmas movies, but this movie has had so much work put into it that anyone should be able to appreciate it. Watch out for some of the same faces and voices recycled from the other Christmas Classics, and a special appearance by the abominable snow monster, err... King Kong. And I should mention that this movie is ridiculously long and drawn out with a 20 minute plot stretched out over 2 hours.
All in all, I don't regret buying this movie, but I wish I would have seen this one first before the other movies I grew up on.

ANTHONY FOY

FUN ANIMATED HORROR COMEDY

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

This animated horror comedy/musical from Rankin/Bass lacks the charm of their Christmas favourite Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. It's overlong, not that funny, and most of the songs are fairly unmemorable. However, the "Animagic" is fine, the voice characterisations are spot-on, and in red-headed heroine Francesca you have the puppet equivalent of 'toon Jessica Rabbit in terms of exaggerated sexiness. The picture/sound quality on this Studio Canal DVD is excellent. No extras though.

Monster Bash

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 19, 2011

Verified Purchase

To sum up "Mad Monster Party" it is a groovy 1960s' animated horror musical that will appeal to both children and adults. Most of the classic movie "monsters" are in this movie in animated form - Dr. Frankenstein, Frankenstein's creature (and his female mate), Count Dracula, The Wolf Man, The Mummy, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Invisible Man, The Creature from The Black Lagoon and even a King Kong-style giant ape but The Phantom of The Opera is not present - perhaps he was too busy playing with his organ!

Featuring the voices of Boris Karloff, Allen Swift, Phyllis Diller and Gale Garnett, "Mad Monster Party" is for the most part an entertaining film with great animation, superb sets, references to other classic movies and a few catchy songs chucked in for good measure. The only thing that lets the film down at times is the script. The action becomes a bit too silly in places and some of the jokes are rather corny (but not as corny as my jokes).

However, the film's greatest asset is the wonderful animated characters. I particularly liked the character Yetch who is clearly modelled on one of my favourite actors, Peter Lorre, and the Dr. Frankenstein character (voiced by Boris Karloff) physically resembles Boris himself and I must say that Francesca (voiced by Gale Garnett) is quite possibly the most attractive piece of modelling clay I have ever seen! A special mention must also be given to Allen Swift who provides the voices for lots of different characters in this film. You really cannot tell that it is the same actor doing all these voices.

This DVD version unfortunately does not contain any extras (apart from scene selection) but for anyone in their forties or older who has fond memories of watching this when they were a kid then this DVD is definitely worth buying.

Reasonably Mad Monster Party

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 16, 2013

Verified Purchase

Saw this when I was a kid and loved it, and obviously it stuck in my memory enough that I suddenly wanted to have it. In my own head this movie got mashed up with the song Monster Mash, and I spent the whole movie waiting for the song to come on. Turns out, Monster Mash is an entirely separate issue -- which I won't hold against the movie! It's certainly a bit dated and some of the humor is goofy in a fairly painful way. I mean, if you know Phyllis Diller at all, you'll know what to expect. If not, expect bad jokes. But it's a fun enough ride, interesting probably mainly to people "of a certain age" although my five year old son liked it very much too. And anti-nuclear in its own weird way. It's not the most amazing thing you've ever seen, but sure, it's worth a look, particularly if you have sentimental reasons.

This was bought as a christmas gift for my mum. She was very pleased with it and it worked well all through the film. I recommend this to anyone who is interested in the older films from way back when and with children of 10 years plus. This was a classic film that we all used to watch as children. A brilliant gift for the parents.
