Summary:	Two teens (Ian Bohen, Candace Cameron) are on the way to a Halloween party dressed as Romeo and Juliet when their car breaks down in front of a sinister mansion. Seeking help, they fall into a party of monsters led by Dr. Frankenstein (Bobby Pickett), who immediately wants to transfer the boy's brain into his monster. Dracula (Anthony Crivella) also wants the girl for obvious reasons. Meanwhile Elvis (E. Aaron Price) has returned as a mummy and his new manager (Jimmie Walker) wants the boy's body for him.
Note:	- Adapted from the 1967 stage musical "I'm sorry the bridge is out, you'll have to spend the night" by Bobby "Boris" Pickett and Sheldon Allman (though the play did not include the 1962 novelty song "Monster Mash" in its score - a new version was recorded for the film). - The film version (written by Joel Cohen & Alec Sokolow, the guys who wrote "Toy Story" and "Cheaper By The Dozen") was called Frankenstein Sings, but when the movie got released on video the name was changed to Monster Mash, apparently because of the included song of the same name (the only song in history to hit the US Top 100 on three separate occasions: No. 1 on October 20, 1962, No. 91 on August 29, 1970, and No. 10 on May 5, 1973). - The movie (a spoof of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", originally also a stage play) was remade as an animated feature in 2000 (again named "Monster Mash").
