Toonsylvania	comment	Toonsylvania was an animated show that lasted for two seasons on Fox Kids in 1998-99 (though reruns of the show aired on Fox Family and some overseas Fox Kids channels until 2000). It was created by Bill Kopp (the creator and voice of Eek! The Cat) and Jeff DeGrandis and produced by Steven Spielberg, and was one of the first animated works to come from the then-newly created DreamWorks studios. Much like Spielberg's earlier works (Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs), it was a multiple shorts cartoon show. Each episode was split into four parts (at least in season one; season two underwent a change in format): The first part would be one of the adventures of Dr. Vic Frankenstein; his assistant, Igor, a Small Name, Big Ego who thought he was the brains of the outfit, and their Frankenstein's Monster, Phil. The second part, called "Night of the Living Fred", was about the adventures of a family of zombies, created by Mike Peters, Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist and creator of Mother Goose and Grimm. On most episodes (particularly in season two), this segment would be replaced with an animated parody of a B horror movie or an animated piece featuring a short-lived character (like Becki With-An-I from "Something Weenie This Way Comes" or Madam Olga). The third segment was the shortest, called "Igor's Science Minute", where Igor gives a science lesson. Hilarity and disaster ensue, especially in the ones where Igor doesn't sing the lesson. The fourth and final segment, called "Melissa Screetch's Morbid Morals"', had Phil do something bad. As punishment, Igor reads him a tale involving a bratty girl named Melissa Screetch, who doesn't heed the warnings of adults (usually given by her mother) and gets punished one way or the other for it.In season two, showrunners Bill Kopp and Jeff DeGrandis were replaced with Paul Rugg (the voice of Freakazoid and Mr. Director) and the show became more like a horror version of Animaniacs, which, along with moving from Saturday morning to Tuesday afternoons (especially around the time that free-to-air networks were phasing out the weekday afternoon cartoon line-up in favor of talk shows and more people tuned into cable to watch cartoons), resulted in the show being cancelled as the ratings declined.The show hasn't aired on television since 2000. It had a VHS release around the time that it stopped airing on TV, but the video was just a "best-of" compilation of episodes from season one (even though the season two opening was used). On January 2014, Netflix streaming (the Brazilian and Mexican feed) had the entire series (including two season two episodes that didn't air since FOX canceled the show due to low ratings), and as of late 2014, it's no longer running.

Toonsylvania / int_504a1991	comment	Body Horror: Quite a bit. The Deadmans' rotting body parts frequently fell, flew, or were ripped off. Also, Phil was badly put together and literally fell apart if one of his stitches was pulled, as Igor demonstrated in his lesson on gravity. His brain was also removed from his head at least twice, and once was even shown to be sentient. On "Baby Human," when the baby chomps down on Igor's head, one would expect Igor's head to be tucked into his body when Phil pulled the baby off him, right? WRONG! Igor's body was shown blindly crawling on the floor for his head, with Phil telling the baby to "...spit Uncle Igor's head out." When Baby Human does spit it out, Igor casually screws it back on.

Toonsylvania / int_d346d7e8	type	Mail-Order Bride
Toonsylvania / int_d346d7e8	comment	Mail-Order Bride: "Phil's Brain" has Igor find that Phil is having trouble following Igor's orders because his brain Larry Cortex is depressed and lonely. Larry's loneliness is remedied when Igor (or, rather, his reflection in the castle's moat) orders a mail-order brain bride named Sarah Bellum, who in the end leaves Larry and runs off with Phil's pancreas Stu.

Toonsylvania / int_e71db2e	comment	Depraved Kids' Show Host: Bunny Wunny in the Melissa Screetch segment, "Melissa Screetch, Earth Ambassador". He's a filthy-looking man in a bunny suit, holding a couple of children who are crying hysterically. It turns out that he's actually some sort of demon who doesn't take kindly to having the channel changed on him.

Toonsylvania / int_e8760868	type	Space Whale Aesop
Toonsylvania / int_e8760868	comment	Space Whale Aesop: The entire point of the Melissa Screetch segments is to show unrealistically severe consequences to common forms of misbehavior. Stay out past curfew? You get abducted and eaten by a monster! Make funny faces all the time? Your face will fuse permanently into the funny face and you're forced to star in B horror flicks to get by! Spoil your appetite with sweets? You'll waste away to an atom or get blown like paper in the wind. Disobey an instruction while on a field trip at NASA? You'll spark an alien invasion after they believe that all of Earth is just as ugly and mean as you are!

Toonsylvania / int_fdb355db	comment	Fun with Subtitles: Subtitle humor is used a bit in the Night of the Living Fred episode "Voodoo Vacation", where the cannibals babble nonsensical statements that don't match what the subtitles read at all. One example is a native saying "Lots of frappuccino. Lots of frappuccino!", which the subtitles translate as saying that they must get the Deadmans off the island.
