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 and Grandpa discover a clue to the pirate treasure hidden in their backyard.

Herman is forced to practice what he preaches when he urges Eddie to ignore a schoolyard bully.

Herman tries to teach Eddie a lesson on the futility of gambling.

Herman is "disfigured" when he is hit by a bolt of artificial lightning from one of Grandpa's machines.
