ON OCTOBER 25, EMPIRE PICTURES HOME ENTERTAINMENT LUNGES INTO THE HORROR GENRE WITH THE LONG AWAITED, NEVER-BEFORE-RELEASED CAMP CLASSIC O70s TV SHOW THE HILARIOUS HOUSE OF FRIGHTENSTEIN Narrator Vincent Price and the late Comedy Great Billy Van Headlined This Mock Horror Variety Show Which Ran for 25 Years; Four Gut-Busting, Episodes Will Be Available on a Single DVD for the Collectible Price of $14.98srp What do you get when you cross quintessential horror king Vincent Price, manic Canadian comic Billy Van masquerading as a multitude of creepy characters such as Grizelda, the Ghastly Gourmet and African explorer Bwana Clyde Batty and puppets like Brucie J. Monster and sea serpent Gronk? Give up? It¹s THE HILARIOUS HOUSE OF FRIGHTENSTEIN, a campy, cult television classic which ran on Canadian and US for over 25 years, beginning in 1971. And now, thanks to Empire Pictures Home Entertainment, the quirky, mock horror variety program one part bizarre-o, one part edutainment will be available to savor for camp fans both old and new on October 18, on a single DVD containing four of the most memorable and spook-tacular 30-minute episodes. It will be priced to add to every home entertainment library at $14.98srp. Enter Castle FrightensteinS.if You Dare! Each of the programs - there were 130 in all - took place in the creepy, spooky, icky and ooky environs of the decrepit Castle Frightenstein. Count Frightenstein (played by Van), the thirteenth son of the original Count - who prefers pizza to blood - is being exiled for failing to revive Brucie, the perpetually out-of-order Frankenstein monster. Assisted by the incompetent Igor and three-foot-tall mini-Count, each ghoulishly funny episode follows the Count¹s fruitless efforts to wake up the moster, and featured hilarious comedy sketches containing many of the weird and wacky characters (many played by Van himself) who populated the Castle, including the venerable Price, who recited intentionally silly poetry with toy skulls and shrunken heads in the background; The Wolfman, a werewolf DJ at station WDOG spinning Top 40 hits; a clumsy oracle and many more. With its otherworldly blend of gallows humor, horror and irreverence, THE HILARIOUS HOUSE OF FRIGHTENSTEIN managed to cast a spell on all those who grew up tuning in. Don¹t miss out on the first installment of this brilliant camp classic, never-before-available on any home entertainment format and only from Empire Pictures Home Entertainment !
