Ahh, 1967. What a great year! Project SWORD, Solo, Captain Scarlet and .... Mad Monster Party! If you've never seen this ghoulish stop-motion gem, this Halloween is a great time to watch this short trailer courtesy of You Tube. Designed by the great Jack Davis of Mad and artist behind the iconic You'll Die Laughing Monster Gum Cards, Mad Monster Party was made in 'Animagic' and was graced [or even laced!] with the voice talents of Phylis Diller and the legend himself, Karloff. You'll also find The Count of later Sesame Street fame and lots of characters who influenced one young Disney employee called Tim Burton, who knocked-up the melancholic Vincent and his later gothic puppetry in films like Corpse Bride and Nightmare Before Christmas. The rest is history!
