Halloween Special Roundup Part 2.3: Claymation Comedy of Horrors

Now for part 3 of the second round of my Halloween special series of posts:  Claymation Comedy of Horrors!!  I remember seeing this one pop up on the Disney Channel lineup years ago and it peaked my interest because I was (and still am) fascinated by the art of claymation, and loved the style of Will Vinton's anthropomorphic characters.  

The storyline of this special involves Wilshire Pig and Sheldon the snail trying to find the lab of Dr Frankenswine and his legendary monster.  Their journey takes them to a mysterious castle that has been taken over by the undead for a convention where they're in (mild) danger being the only mortals in the entire building.  Wilshire and Sheldon check into the event as Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde who have been booked to do a demonstration on raising the dead, and it goes horribly, hilariously wrong.  They then get chased through the castle and come across the secret laboratory and the monster they've been searching for only to find out it wasn't what they expected.  

Here's the special in its entirety for you to watch!  Please keep in mind that I do not own the rights to this movie, I am simply posting what I found on YouTube.  It is also available for purchase (along with two other Will Vinton holiday specials) on DVD on Amazon.
