A dysfunctional family of misfit monsters try desperately to run an obscure television station deep in Transylvania, with worldwide broadcast power and the ability to reanimate dead TV shows.
The Vampire Le Shoc is king of his castle, but struggles vainly to maintain order while taking delight in the suffering of his motley crew of minions. And he ain’t your run of the mill Count, either, he’s a LeStat-dressin’, nosferatu-lookin’, Richard-O’Brien-from-Rocky-Horror-talkin’ creep with some serious issues.
Furry J. Ackermonster, the station’s new intern, is a bright orange yeti, who having recently graduated from an American college, is struggling with student loans, laziness, and a burgeoning pottery collection. Enjoys beer, snowboarding, and hairy chicks.
The station’s majordomo is Batfink, a surf-lovin’, kustom kar creatin’ bat. Think beach blanket beatnik with wings. He manages to keep the station running via the power of the Frankenstein Device, the same contraption that gave life to the Frankenstein Monster. When used to boost the signal of the station, it gives old shows NEW LIFE – and turns them into far-out parodies in the process.
They are joined by Dwayne Frankenstein, a fella who’s wired just a little bit differently than the rest of us. The Frankenstein Monster has been done to death, but you’ve never seen him like this: a brain-damaged, working-class Brit soccer hooligan made from 13 different people. He may sound dense but he’s not naïve, and has been known for moments of brilliance in the midst of an otherwise stupefying existence.
Tune in to Transylvania Television: the Retro Monster Comedy Series that’s really not for kids, not necessarily safe for work, and known to promote skull decay.
Gordon Smuder
Gordon, a man of poor memory but many talents, has been stuffing his hand up crazy characters since childhood. Some of them have even been puppets. For the last 18 years he’s been forced to bend his considerable acumen towards employment in the prop-building and special effects industry managing the studio of Minnefex, Inc. in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Having performed puppetry in many television commercials, Gordon finally got an opportunity to build and perform puppets on national television while helping contestant Andrew Hunt with his first film challenge “Spaced Out” on the FOX television reality show “On The Lot”.
Michael Heagle
Michael Heagle has been making movies since the fifth grade. He harkens from Mukwonago, Wisconsin, and attended the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, from which he holds a BFA in Film. While there, he shot a film with his buddy Mark Borchardt (AMERICAN MOVIE) called TOGA PARTY MASSACRE. Upon graduating, Michael tried his hand at a number of self-funded, independent projects, in which he filled the roles, variously, of screenwriter, director, production designer, editor, and visual effects supervisor.
Michael’s film work includes Troma’s GO TO HELL, the sci fi western PLANETFALL, and the ambitious student-made feature film TERROR REPORT, co-produced with members of Art Institute International, Minnesota’s school of Visual Effects and Motion Graphics where he is a faculty member
