Plot Summary
Tabloid reporters Jack Harrison (Jeff Goldblum) and Gil Turner (Ed Begley, Jr.) are sent to Transylvania with two choices: find the Frankenstein monster or find new jobs. But before the jumpy journalists can dig up their big story, they must first face the horrors of an extremely clumsy butler (Michael Richards), a nymphomaniac vampire (Geena Davis) and a semi-mad doctor (Joseph Bologna), as well as assorted mummies, werewolves and more Transylvanian oddballs. Can these two bumbling heroes unravel this monstrous mystery or are they in for some very scary surprises? John Byner, Carol Kane, Jeffrey Jones and Norman Fell co-star in this hilarious horror spoof written and directed by Rudy DeLuca (co-writer of Caveman and High Anxiety). For laughs, screams and a good time, call TRANSLYVANIA 6-5000!

Funny Halloween Movie!
This is a great movie to add to your halloween collection!
The more you watch it, the better it gets!
This is one of my favorite movies. Hilarious! Perfect comedic timing. If you enjoy Mel Brooks-style movies, classic movie monsters and don't mind the completely predictable than this is for you! Only wish I had the 6-5000 ringtone! Thank you i-tunes for finally making this movie available!
Decent with some funny moments
I was very lenient with movie. Why? Because I knew this was going to be another movie where a semi-unique concept will be put to the writers who, as I noticed, are actually pretty good at. Now, ignorance can be really funny when done right. This movie was very close to being like that. The best examples concern the monster, who is called Frankenstein in this movie. Anyone who does thier homework knows Frankenstein is the guy who created the monster. Here, the scientists name is Malevaqua, which is not a name familiar with the book. The movies has other examples like a reference to Godzilla (who is japanese) in Transylvania. This movie gave me a few mild chuckles and two true LOL moments. Since I knew this wasn't much special, it was still an amazingly different movie from its competition, and if you want a 25 year old movie unlike the other 25 year old movies, watch it. Its mild fun.
