Mad Monster Party is on Blu-Ray!

It's the Mummy!

I'm seriously considering this, it's an October tradition in my house. It kicks off Halloween month.

We've got it on DVD and I fall asleep every year trying to watch it.

[Werewolf]

Coolness. I'm probably gonna have to upgrade. The price is right. That's less then I paid for the DVD when it was first released.

My only gripe is it's a bit too long. I think it would have been better served in the hour format like Rudolph, but this was a theatrical release. Some tighter editing would help the pace, but I still love it.

True this could have easily been edited down a lot for television there are some moments in the movie that drag....

I'm the only one in my house who loves this movie... :(

In my house, my wife is the only hater. The kids and I take pleasure in that.

We all like it at the house, but the "You're Different" song is the least favorite of the lot for us. It just kind of comes out of nowhere, way early in the movie too.

Agreed, not to disrespect the dead but the song styling of Phyllis Diller is the scariest thing about the movie.

[Earth 2 Chris]

It's not just her, the song's just a mess compared to the other songs in this and other Rankin Bass productions. But her delivery doesn't help it out any either.

Seems like a cut song that was reinserted into a director's cut or something.

I might have to get that!

Is it blasphemous to admit that I've never seen this? In fact, I'd never even heard about it until a few years ago. I don't know how this thing completely slipped under my radar all these years, when by the looks of it, the childhood me would have gobbled it up! Guess this Blu-ray release is a good excuse to finally check it out.

The kids love the other Rankin-Bass stuff but they've never totally accepted MMP. Probably has something to do with the fact that I introduced it late to them and it's classic monsters, which being girls they've never been in to...

Don't feel bad. I didn't know about it until I was 11 or 12, and came home from a friend's house to discover it on TV one Sunday afternoon. I had seen nearly every Rankin/Bass special, and by that time some of them had been retired. I didn't see this again until it came out on DVD and folks started talking about it here.

[Grimm Jimm]

Never heard of it.
