When Dr Frankenstein (Boris Karloff) decides to retire from the monster-making business, he calls an international roster of monsters to a creepy convention to elect his successor.
Being a fan of Rankin and Bass from their Christmas specials, I thought this would have a lot of potential. Especially because I am huge in the horror community, and love its rich history. And yet, I was not terribly thrilled by the film.
The characters were alright, and the animation we all love looks great. But I feel like it just has not aged well, primarily because of the music. The Christmas songs are classics, but the songs here are not terribly memorable. In fact, some are not even good.
