- TriviaAlthough most of the show was played for laughs, the regular science segments featured a genuine professor who studied under Albert Einstein and who had also been resident scientist on the original The Mickey Mouse Club (1955).
- GoofsIn a cooking segment Grizelda tosses an orange into the cauldron and misses but there's still an accompanying splash sound as the orange bounces off the floor.
- Quotes
The Narrator: Another lovely day begins with ghosts and gouls with greenish skin. So close your eyes and you will find that you've arrived in Frightenstein. Perhaps the Count will find a way to make his monster work today. For if he solves this monster mania he can return to Transylvania. So welcome where the sun won't shine to the castle of Count Frightenstein.
[Insidious laughter]
- Crazy creditsThe animal suppliers provide "some puppies & stuff".
- Alternate versionsSyndicated episodes showing the Drivein and Space networks in Canada starting 2006 are missing the music segments where Igor and the Wofman dance behind a psychedelic background. This is due because of the the rights to the rocks songs had expired (many which are now considered rock classics or golden oldies).

Featured review
Perfect!
Hilarious House of Frightenstein was a perfect show!
I love classic low budget Canadian shows that were still great. Even though they had little money to spend on their productions they made great shows because they obviously really cared, and this show for kids is maybe the best example of that.
Billy Van was a true talent who played most of the characters himself but it played them differently enough that it wasn't annoying and they actually seemed like different people. The characters and skits were very creative and fun and also educational pieces were shown for the value of the children.
I am lucky to have found some DVDs of this show at the pawn shop this summer and the shows are just as great as I remember them.
Great, campy fun! That's how I would describe it. To think it was made right in my home town of Hamilton at CHCH where so many other great shows (Smith and Smith Comedy Mill) were made and they continue making good shows today (This Movie Sucks) that are Canadian and proudly low budget despite their good quality. I still can't believe they had Vincent Price! That is so awesome.
