1Scrooge finances a meeting house/convention center, which is then used by a group of horror movie-based monsters.
2!!This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
3* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The monsters protest against monster movies for making people afraid of them, and they don't even get royalties.
4* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: Bigfoot is mentioned, and Quackymodo hopes ''she'' doesn't ask him to dance again because [[AgonyOfTheFeet his foot still hurts]] after she stepped on them.
5* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: The nephews are a little disappointed when Scrooge [[TemptingFate assures them that monsters like in the movies can't possibly exist]].
6* ClamTrap: The mail carrier briefly got his fingers stuck inside the FishPerson's mailbox, which is a clam that closed when mail is put in.
7* DarkIsNotEvil: The monsters. And they're not happy with the monster movies portraying them negatively. Only to find out everyone loves them anyway.
8* FalseReassurance: When Ping Pong arrived, Scrooge nervously asked the monsters if he was staying at the mansion. They assured him of course...he'd be staying on top of the tallest building in town. Unfortunately, Scrooge realizes that means his money bin.
9* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampires: Not just the vampire but all the monsters are revealed to be rather friendly and fun-loving.
10* GonnaNeedMoreX: When Ping Pong showed up, one of the triplets calls out to Mrs. Beakley that they were going to need more guest towels.
11* InstantConvertible: When the monsters arrive in their bus, Quackenstein shoved his head through the roof before using his monstrous strength to tear it completely off.
12-->'''Quackula:''' How about that? A convertible!
13* ISeeThemToo: After seeing that the monsters disappeared after partying in the convention center, Scrooge wondered if it was AllJustADream. Duckworth then confirmed that he had seen the monsters too.
14* TheIgor: Quackymodo.
15* KingKongCopy: One of the monsters attending the convention is a giant gorilla named Ping Pong.
16* KingKongClimb: When Ping Pong shows up, he climbs up on top of Scrooge's money bin and [[PrimalChestPound pounds his chest]] up there. The other monsters explain that, according to tradition, he climbs the tallest building at every convention.
17* LaughingMad: Quackymodo.
18* MonsterMash: Among the monsters showing up to the convention, there's a vampire, a hunchback, a wolf-duck, a FrankensteinsMonster and his bride, a fish-man, a BlobMonster, a mummy and a giant gorilla named Ping Pong.
19* OhCrap:
20** Everyone's reaction after finding out the monsters are the real thing. Fortunately, the monsters mean no harm.
21** Scrooge's reaction, due to the being in both financial and legal (especially financial) trouble as a result of the monsters' destruction.
22* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Mr. Wolf, who is shown in both duck ''and'' wolf form.
23* PunnyName: Many of the monsters have a pun in their names. The vampire is called Drakeula, the hunchback is called Quackymodo, the FrankensteinsMonster is called Quackenstein, and the gigantic, paddle-ball-playing gorilla is called Ping Pong.
24* ShoutOut: The title is a reference to ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow''.
25* {{Squick}}: InUniverse, Scrooge finds it nasty when the Blob slimes him and again when Quackymodo suggests he "blob for apples" (playing apple bobbing with the Blob serving as the tank).
26* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: The mummy looks identical to Ka-hoo-fu from "[[Recap/DuckTalesS1E33SphinxForTheMemories Sphinx for the Memories]]".
27* ThisIsUnforgivable: Upon learning that Scrooge owned the theater that was showing monster movies, Mr. Wolf went into an UnstoppableRage over "the misuse of monsters" and nearly subjected Scrooge to his wrath. Fortunately, he calmed down when a child who was a fan of WolfMan movies asked for an autograph.
28* UnstoppableMailman: The mail carrier who delivers the letters to the monsters.
29* VegetarianVampire: Drakeula does not suck blood, but eats apples instead.
