@mariojacobs,

For your consideration:

The Shrimpenstein Show (1967)

Shrimpenstein

A hosted horror kids show from KHJ Channel 9, Los Angeles, California, USA screened from 1967-1968; with Gene Moss as Dr. Rudolph Von Schtick and Shrimpenstein voiced by Jim Thurman.

I watched this show when I lived in the Los Angeles area with my parents from 1966-1968. This show featured the ultimate of a cheap set that would frequently fall down during production.

You have Peter Doyle's character from Young Frankenstein listed twice @ the #12 and the #21 answer slots. You could substitute this funny Frankenstein in one of the slots, if it doesn't have any votes (urgent).

Nevermind, its already too late. Now I am curious which version wins out, as it seems like a two-way contest in the early voting or maybe they will split the vote for another option to take the lead.

It maybe too late but you have Peter Boyle's Young Frankenstein on the list twice.

And when I first read the poll title, I thought it read Funkiest Frankenstein Monster. Definitely a totally different question.

considered one of the funniest movies ever made, the comedy and musical Hellzapoppin (1941) . I could go about looking at the cast list and seeing all the comedians in it.

tou might want consider “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)

you may want to read that. It proves there are a crazy connections between “Hellzapoppin”, “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein”, and the 13 bleak street sketch of Olsen & Johnson’s “Fireball Fun For All” tv show and two more Universal Frankenstein films other than all are universal properties.

I am suggesting this too late, but if you ever want to do a repush, please look up "Frankenstein Jr."  It was a Saturday morning cartoon when I was a kid.

@TheOldJalapenoman​ indeed, I forgot about him, by the way, The Impossibles was one of my favorites cartoons...

@mariojacobs​ If you remembered The Impossibles, you are also a senior citizen!  Hanna Barbera used to make some really good stuff when I was a kid.  Johnny Quest was probably my favorite.  When we played in my backyard, I always wanted to be Race Bannon.  One of my friends was Johnny, a younger neighbor from Okinawa was Hadji, and my little brother was the dog Bandit!  (Note:  That same brother had a dog many years later that he named Bandit.)

@TheOldJalapenoman​ two episodes that impressed me a lot, they gave me the creeps and made it difficult not to have nightmares (no spoilers):

S1, Ep20
29 Jan. 1965The Invisible Monster
 8.6 (150)  Rate
A fellow scientist accidentally creates living energy that only lives to feed on more energy, including that from living organisms. The Quest party answers his plea for help.

S1, Ep25
4 Mar. 1965Monster in the Monastery
 7.7 (92)  Rate
Dr. Quest's surprise visit to his friend Raj Guru in the high Himalayas of Nepal coincides with a storm having driven the yeti from the mountain into the old palace nearby, or so it would seem.

@mariojacobs​ those two are considered by fans 2 of the best along with the mummy. I got season 1 of the series which means I got the whole series in dvd. I can’t believe the reason why it went off the air the first time was not because of ratings but because parents complained it was too violent and graphic and not “educational” enough! Oh if they only knew then what we know now, they would have left it on the air instead of letting the show go into syndication and other stations picking it up.

3 of my favorite secondary characters:

- Sumi, Dragons of Ashida

- The Old Man in Wheelchair, Turu the Terrible

- The German Baron, Shadow of the Condor

the main characters for me were kind of boring and sometimes even irritating (Bandit and the 2 boys)

@mariojacobs​ there is a thing about Bandit that connects him and the haunted house comedies/plays and to Bob Hope’s nervous brave coward routine (really Willie Best’s nervous brave coward routine who perfected it first). In the documentary material that came with the dvd, the creators of Scooby-doo took Bandit and elaborated on that character. They added the Hope/Best, and even Edie “Rodchester” Anderson’s nervous brave coward routines. And even the usual ending of the Scooby do mysteries of the monster is really a human wearing a mask came from the 1921 stage play “The Cat and the Canary”. (Yeah, I had bought the script version to see how the play and the movie version and screen version were the same and different too. In the movie version the villain wore makeup, in the play, he wears a monster mask.)
