THE MILTON THE MONSTER SHOW (ABC 1965-66) RARE-HARD TO FIND

During the 1965-1966 season, Saturday morning audiences young and old tuned into ABC to watch Hal Seeger's new frighteningly funny creation and his misfit family of ghouls. The series starred Milton the Monster, a Frankenstein-looking monster with a flat-topped, seemingly hollow head which emitted various quantities of white steam or smoke based on his mood or situation. Seeger’s distinctive animation style, clever writing and a terrific voice cast make all 26 episodes of The Milton The Monster Show a pop culture treasure for the ages.

In a secret laboratory on top of Old Horror Hill, Professor Montgomery Weirdo and his assistant Count Kook created the most loveable creature known to mankind, Milton the Monster, using only the finest of ingredients: Essence of Terror, Sinister Sauce, and of course a full Tincture of Tenderness! Out of fear of his creation destroying him, Professor Weirdo intended to add just a touch of the aforementioned tincture of tenderness to the mold, but Count Kook bumped the Professor's elbow, resulting in too much of the tincture being added to the mix.

Milton's voice, which was based on the southern accent used by Jim Nabors in his television role as Gomer Pyle, was provided by Bob McFadden who also provided voices for Professor Weirdo's resident monsters: Heebie - a skull-faced, top hat-wearing ghoul with a Peter Lorre voice and Jeebie - a slow-witted, cyclopian, hairy green creature with a single sharp tooth that was often used to open soda cans. Professor Weirdo's nemesis was Professor Fruitcake, another mad scientist who lived in a castle on an opposite hill. Professor Fruitcake's major creation was Zelda the Zombie. Other characters in the series included Fangenstein, a biker monster apparently inspired by Marlon Brando, his sidekick Abercrombie Zombie, and Professor Weirdo's aunt, the witchy Aunt Hagatha.

In addition, the series also included cartoons featuring equally unforgettable characters Stuffy Durma, Flukey Luke, Penny the Penguin, and the most memorable of all, Fearless Fly.
