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.

A rich woman (Jane Withers) claims to be Grandpa's wife.

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

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

Dr. Frankenstein's great-grandson arrives with cousin Johann, who looks exactly like Herman.
