HE STORY: This is a very comical story of Baron Von Frankenstein (who looks like Boris Karloff), and his plans to create a bride for his monster Frankenstein. After he creates the monsters mate, he decides to make arrangements for a lavish wedding at the Transylvania Astoria, where most of the story takes place. Of course when the other monsters that are invited to the wedding begin to show, it turns the whole hotel into a nut house of terrified guests and staff. Igor is jealous of the monster and wants the bride for his own and plots to steal her. One of the prominent characters is Norman, a direct steal of the Jerry Lewis character in "The Bellboy". One running gag is about a mailman who was scared nearly to death delivering the invitations to the monsters, and lands up quitting his job to take a job at his uncles' hotel. The same hotel the monsters went to of course, and the bits about his trying to explain all this to his psychiatrist are hilarious.

The studio writers wrote a really good script, full of running gags and inside jokes. Many of the jokes are aimed at the adult side of the audience, probably more so than any other special produced by this studio. And it works, it is a very fun special for all ages, enjoyable to watch with the kids.
