What do you get when you cross the quintessential horror king Vincent Price, and manic comic Billy Van masquerading as a multitude of creepy characters such as Grizelda, the Ghastly Gourmet and African explorer, Bwana Clyde? Give up? Welcome to The Hilarious House of Frightenstein, the brilliant camp cult television classic, which began its 25-year television run in the United States and Canada in 1971.

Editor's Note
Canadian television produced this deliciously funny horror-comedy show in 1971, with the legendary Vincent Price camping it up amid a variety of guests from many different areas of the entertainment world. Bands, comedians, actors, and performers all enter Castle Frightenstein to conjure up some hilarity, while a few serious segments offer educational food for thought. This two-hour collection of highlights from the show will provide a trip down memory lane for those who were there at the time, and will introduce new viewers to a vintage slice of Canadian television.
