The Hilarious House of Frightenstein

I grew up watching this show in the 70's on Chch
Hamilton. Billy Van was the funniest Canadian
alive. He was able to play a wide variety of characters. I loved Vincent Price and his little
snippets in each show.
I will always remember how much fun I had watching
the show.
The 70's did not suck because of shows like
this. Thank you to everyone who participated.

It was a classic! I used to watch it as a kid at around 6:30am before catching the bus to school. The show's various segments were: The Storyteller (who never told a scary story, but tried tirelessly); The Witch--who's name I've forgotten--who simply made a God-awful mess with ingredients, leading to an explosion and obligatory taste--allowing Van to mug at the camera; The Vet (Van again) who introduces some animal to Igor, and talks briefly about it's habits and food requirements (Igor always ended the segment in tears after asking for permission to keep the animal); Harvey Wallbanger (a puppet who told riddles and read 'letters'--each segment ended with Van getting his hand cancelled by the puppet); The Wolfman (the most psychodelic segment on the show, where a Wolfman Jack cum Wolfman would spin old stoner-rock while Igor danced in front of a tie-dyed bluescreen--very trippy).moreless

During the 1970's, I clearly remember watching this show on Saturday mornings as a kid growing up in Manitoba, Canada. For anyone who has an interest in castles, bats, and things that go bump in the night, you will enjoy watching this hour long show. It's enjoyable entertainment, and it was funny. I think that even young kids today would enjoy watching this show as much as I did, and their parents who grew up watching it can enjoy it with their own children and have a good laugh at this hippy era 70's show!moreless

How can you not love Vincent Price in this role? I watched this show when I was growing up in the 80s, and I'm thankful it's becoming available on DVD! What's not to love? The campy 70s production value or the gorilla that always got knocked out by ping pong balls?:P
