Billy Van
Director
The Hilarious House of Frightenstein (1971)
Season 1
During the 70s, "The Hilarious House of Frightenstein" was a popular Canadian TV show that starred Billy Van, Fishka Rais as Igor, Joe Torbay as Gronk, Guy Big as Count Munchkinstein, and even had Vincent Price as a special guest star. This 60-minute live-action show became a staple on Saturday morning television and was loved by many due to its mix of variety, humour, and educational segments, all with a touch of mock horror. It left a lasting impression on the younger generation of that time.
