About this event

BEHIND THE CASTLE DOORS: The Origin of The Hilarious House of Frightenstein

Directed by Morgan Baker, Tammy Heisel | 65 min | 2025 | Canada | Rated PG

When the Markowitz brothers pitched their idea for a "pseudo-horror" TV show for kids, they promised a celebrity would be part of it—none other than the great Vincent Price. A contract was signed for 130 hour-long episodes, but there was one problem: Vincent didn't even know about it yet!

Join us for Saturday morning cereal and beverages, and discover the fascinating journey of how this quirky 1970s Canadian cult-classic began, as told by the original crew. After the doc, stay seated for a vintage episode of The Hilarious House of Frightenstein!

Festivals: Windsor International Film Festival, Blood in the Snow

Rated PG, suitable for all ages.
