Never mind stuff like Hotel Transylvania, Coraline, Igor, and their ilk! If not for the Rankin/Bass stop-motion animation classic Mad Monster Party, they wouldn’t even exist! Lionsgate is finally bringing this spooky gem to Blu-ray!

From the Press Release
What better way to get in the Halloween sprit than by celebrating with a monster party? Lionsgate Home Entertainment makes Mad Monster Party available for the first time in high definition with the release of the Blu-ray Combo Pack (Blu-ray + DVD) as well as HD Digital Download and On Demand arriving just in time for the spookiest holiday of the year and the theatrical release of the similarly themed Hotel Transylvania. From the team who created the stop-motion and animated holiday classics “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” and “Frosty the Snowman,” Mad Monster Party stars the voice talents of Boris Karloff (Frankenstein) and Phyllis Diller (Eight on the Lam). The Blu-ray Combo Pack bonus materials include a “making of” featurette plus two featurettes that look at the animation and the music of the film as well as two bonus sing-along tracks. The Mad Monster Party Blu-ray Combo Pack arrives on September 4th for the suggested retail price of $14.99.

Baron Von Frankenstein (voice of Boris Karloff) has decided to retire as the head of the Worldwide Organization of Monsters. But first, he must inform the other monsters about his plans. How to deliver the news? How else – through a Mad Monster Party! Von Frankenstein’s guests include a who’s who of Halloween favorites, including the Werewolf, Dracula, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the Mummy, the Invisible Man and more. But who among them is fit to be the new head of the monsters?

  • “Mad Monster Party: Making of a Cult Classic” featurette
  • “Groovy Ghouls: The Music of Mad Monster Party” featurette
  • “It’s Sheer Animagic! Secrets of Stop-Motion Animation” featurette
