The family at 1313 Mockingbird Lane is a little... different. Dad Herman looks like Frankenstein's monster; mom Lily and her dad, Grandpa, are vampires; and son Eddie is a werewolf. Poor Marilyn, their niece, is the odd one out -- she's just a normal girl. And the family doesn't like to call attention to her unfortunate looks.

Herman believes Eddie's affection is being stolen by a children's television idol.

Herman pens himself into trouble when he ghostwrites love letters for a shy co-worker.

Grandpa concocts a potion to provide instant talent for Eddie when Herman forces him to take up the trumpet.

Two of Marilyn's teachers decide to present Herman to the scientific world as the only living prehistoric man.
