Would'nt it be great if they could use all the songs? My favourite was when The Wolfman would play Jumpin Jack Flash.

Re: New Frightenstein DVD box set March 31?

It appears to be a single-disc DVD of just Igor stuff.  Does anyone know if this will be JUST Igor-related segments (it has a great cover by the way) or more episodes in continuation of the box sets...?  I understand it's the first in a series of themed Frightenstein dvd releases.  And will the regular "full" episode boxed sets continue....one would assume so since only half of the color-your-own-covers were represented.  Does anyone have a contact at Anchor Bay?  smile

Here's the scoop:

He’s big, green, and monstrous fun – he’s Igor! On March 31, 2009 Anchor Bay Entertainment Canada and Critical Mass Releasing will present Igormania on DVD . This is the first release in a series of character compilations from the 1970’s Canadian TV treasure Hilarious House of Frightenstein. The next installment, Grizelda’s Eat, Drink and Be Scary is due in May 2009 - be sure to collect them all!

Bushy eyebrowed Fishka Rais as Igor was the most recognizable member of the Hilarious House of Frightenstein’s crazy castle. Don’t let his imposing figure fool you Igor is lots of fun! He also loves animals, is a good friend to the Count, and works hard to improve his grammar skills.

Hilarious House of Frightenstein is a live action hour-long show created at CHCH Studios in Hamilton, Ontario in 1971. Every episode is an offbeat mix of educational segments, crazy horror parody, and just plain ghastly fun. A fixture of Saturday morning television in Canada for decades, the series has had a lasting impact on generations of viewers with growing cult appeal.

Hilarious House of Frightenstein features Billy Van, Vincent Price, Fishka Rais, Joe Torbay, Prof. Julius Summer Miller, Guy Big and Mitch Markowitz as Super Hippy. Run time 65 minutes, rated PG.

I don't think that any of these Critical Mass / Anchor Bay releases will be available in the US yet.  It's another music rights issue, I believe.

Hey, I just picked up the latest issue of Rue Morgue Magazine (#87) and near the back there is an ad for the Igormania DVD with a small picture of the next DVD release being Grizelda.

I just ordered a 3 dvd set from Canada via Amazon and shipping/handling was $10 to NJ. It will tell you what your shipping will be before you finalize the transaction.

I couldn't figure out whether the Igormania release was an existing episode or a composite one made of the best Igor segments from various shows. Anybody know?
