Find out in this treasured stop-motion classic from the team who brought you Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman and other beloved holiday specials. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Mad Monster Party? is a 1967 stop-motion animated musical comedy film produced by Rankin/Bass Productions for Embassy Pictures. The film stars the voices of Boris Karloff, Allen Swift, Gale Garnett, and Phyllis Diller. It tells the story of a mad scientist who achieves the secret of total destruction as he summons all the monsters to his island home to show it off while planning to retire as the head of the "Worldwide Organization of Monsters". Although less well known than Rankin/Bass's holiday specials, it has become a cult film. The film is a camp homage to the classic monster movies of the 1930s-'40s. It was one of Karloff's final projects, and his last film in connection to the character Frankenstein. Plot Scientist Baron Boris von Frankenstein achieves his ultimate ambition, the secret of total destruction. Having perfected and tested the formula, he sends out messenger bats to summon all monsters to the Isle of Evil in the Caribbean Sea. The Baron intends to inform them of his discovery and also to reveal his imminent retirement as head of the Worldwide Organization of Monsters. Besides Frankenstein's Monster (sometimes referred to as "Fang") and the Monster's more intelligent mate who reside on the Isle with Boris, the invitees include Count Dracula, the Mummy, Quasimodo (referred to as "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame"), the Werewolf, The Invisible Man, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon (referred to as simply "The Creature"). The Baron's beautiful assistant Francesca confirms that all invitations have been delivered and inquires about one of the addressees, a Felix Flanken. Frankenstein explains that Felix is his nephew and successor in the monster business. This displeases Francesca, who covets the role for herself. She asks why there was no invitation for "It". Boris replies that "It" was not invited since "It" can be a crushing bore, explaining that "It" even crushed the island's wild boars in his bare hands the last time "It" was invited. Felix Flanken is a drug store pharmacist somewhere in the United States. Incompetent and asthmatic but good-natured, he is a constant burden on Mr. Kronkite, the greedy owner. A mailman arrives with Felix's invitation, and he joyously accepts. He boards a freighter headed for the Isle, alongside Dr. Jekyll and the Werewolf, among others. The ship's crew are wary of the unusual passengers. Frankenstein has his zombie butler Yetch, Chef Mafia Machiavelli, and the zombie bellhops and servants make preparations for the upcoming party while patrolling the Isle to ensure that "It" does not arrive uninvited. The monsters begin to arrive on the freighter that Felix is also traveling on. During dinner, Frankenstein shows them the formula, which he will demonstrate the next day while naming his successor. Francesca secretly meets with Dracula to inform him about Felix, promising to share Frankenstein's secrets when she becomes the successor if Dracula were to get rid of Felix. When they catch the Monster's Mate ease-dropping, she and Francesca begin to cat-fight while the other monsters have an all out food fight. Felix arrives to the island and is greeted by his uncle and Francessca, who takes Felix on a tour of the island where the Mummy, Werewolf and Dracula plan to attack. While the human Felix proves to be unsuitably kindhearted, the monsters nonetheless plot to eliminate him and gain control of the secret formula, but Felix continually accidentally foils their attempts. Later, Frankenstein tells Felix about his retirement, making his nephew leader of all the monsters in the world. Felix naturally feels reluctant to take the job. Over time, Francesca develops feelings for Felix after he obliviously saves her on multiple occasions. As Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster and the Monster's Mate descend upon Francesca, she sends out a letter (via messenger bat) to an unknown recipient. When the monsters corner Felix upon capturing Francesca, they are frightened at the arrival of "It" (a giant gorilla and take-off of King Kong) who proceeds to rampage since he was not invited. "It" snatches up the monsters and Francesca (on whom "It" develops a crush). Felix rushes to tell his uncle what happened and is instructed to head to the boat. Frankenstein leads the zombies in rescuing Francesca from "It" using biplanes. Boris convinces "It" to let Francesca go and to take him instead. "It" complies. Felix and Francesca manage to escape the island in the boat as Frankenstein and the remainder of the monsters remain in "It"'s clutches. Displeased that the monsters tried to steal the secret for themselves and attempted to kill Felix as well as having to put up with "It", Frankenstein sacrifices himself by dropping the formula, destroying the Isle of Evil and everything on it. The destruction is witnessed Felix and Francesca, offshore. Felix expresses a desire to begin a family with Francesca, who tearfully admits that she is not human, but in fact a robot creation of Frankenstein's. Felix responds that "none of us are perfect", mechanically repeating the last two words, indicating that he is his uncle's robot creation too.

That is why many of the characters - though recognizable - are all called by different names; i.e., King Kong is "It", the Frankenstein Monster is "Fang", the Bride of Frankenstein is simply "the Monster's Mate", Quasimodo is called "the Hunchback of Notre Dame" and the Creature from the Black Lagoon is called simply "the Creature". The names "Count Dracula", "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", and "the Invisible Man" were in the public domain at the time of the film's production and thus, as no royalty fees were required for their use, they appeared in the film.
