Trivia
In order to keep costs down, the film's producers did not want to pay royalty fees for the use of the names "King Kong", "the Frankenstein Monster", "the Bride of Frankenstein", "Quasimodo" and "the Creature from the Black Lagoon". That is why many of the characters - though recognizable - are all called by different names; i.e., King Kong is "IT", the Frankenstein Monster is "Fang", the Bride of Frankenstein is simply "the Monster's Mate", Quasimodo is called "the Hunchback of Notre Dame" and the Creature from the Black Lagoon is called simply "the Creature". The names "Count Dracula", "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", and "the Invisible Man" were in the public domain at the time of the film's production and thus, as no royalty fees were required for their use, they were used in the film.

Goofs
When the clock chimes, Baron Boris von Frankenstein says it is 1:00, but the clock actually reads 6:55. In addition, it chimes six times.

Quotes
Dracula: What kind of a monster is he? A ghoul? A demon? A spook, or...?
Francesca: A human.
Dracula: They're the worst kind.

Alternate versions
In the DVD release of the film by Anchor Bay Entertainment, at the very end of it the word "Yeah", which is sung by Francesca and followed by a couple of creepy musical notes, is not included.

A glorious reminder of childhood

Every year, Mad Monster Party? would show up on TV around Halloween. Every year I watched it, until suddenly it disappeared from the small screen. (This was about the same time that infomercials came into vogue.) It was ten or more long years before I saw it again one night on TNT, and it had lost none of it's magnificence. And now it's shown up again, this time on AMC...and the AMC print is miles better than the washed out one that TNT showed. It's unbelievably bright, displaying a full palette of colours where once all was green and purple. You owe it to yourself---and your children!---to catch Mad Monster Party? at the next possible occasion. It's a Rankin-Bass production, so you know it's quality!
