** In ''Mad, Mad, Mad Monsters'', though Baron von Frankenstein is voiced by Bob [=McFadden=], he still sounds like Creator/BorisKarloff; Dracula sounds even more like a stereotypical Creator/BelaLugosi; and [[Literature/TheStrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde Harvey's doctor]] sounds rather like [[Film/ThePrisonerOfZenda Ronald Colman]]. Norman also seems to be a parody of Creator/JerryLewis, notably his character from ''Film/TheBellboy.''

The film was under-promoted and did poorly in its initial theatrical release, but has since become a CultClassic. Five years later, in 1972, Rankin[=/=]Bass would give the film an unofficial (and somewhat illogical) {{prequel}} of sorts, ''Mad, Mad, Mad Monsters'', a traditionally animated TVMovie for the anthology series ''Creator/{{ABC}} Saturday Superstar Movies'', using most of the original Jack Davis character designs, though dropping Phyllis Diller for a "Monstress".

"Monstress", whose marriage to Franksenstein's Monster is the centerpiece of the story.

* AmbiguousSituation: The special ''seems'' to be a prequel to the original film, especially considering [[spoiler: the monsters all blow up in the end.]] On the other hand, Dracula and the Invisible Man have kids that were never mentioned before, suggesting they were born in the interim. The Monstress is implied to be the Monster's first wife, making it unclear if she's the Monster's Mate from the first film. Frankenstein's first name is also changed from Boris to Henry, possibly implying they're not the same character, either.

Added DiffLines:

* DecompositeCharacter: Harvey resembles Felix and also works for a family hotel. However, Harvey is terrified of the monsters, whereas Felix was too dim to notice anything dangerous was going on. Norman, the bellhop, keeps Felix's schtick of going along with all the weirdness. Though, since the monsters are somewhat friendlier compared to the movie, he doesn't come off as being as stupid as Felix.

* MailmanVsDog: In ''Mad, Mad, Mad Monsters'', Harvey the mailman gets chased by the Invisible Man's dog as well as Ron Chanley the Werewolf.



* NoodleIncident: In ''Mad, Mad, Mad Monsters'', when the other monsters reminisce on the Frankenstein monster's glory days, one of them brings up something the monster did at the office party. Before we are given clear details, the Frankenstein monster groans and Igor states that the event should never be brought up.


Added DiffLines:


!!''Mad, Mad, Mad Monsters'' provides examples of:
* AdaptationalDiversity: The special has more female monsters compared to the original. In addition to the Monstress, both the Invisible Man and [[spoiler: Modzoola]] are given wives. The Wicked Witch of the East even makes a cameo, popping out of a cake...flying on her broomstick.
* AmbiguousSituation: The special seems to be a prequel to the original film, especially considering [[spoiler: the monsters all blow up in the end.]] On the other hand, Dracula and the Invisible Man have kids that were never mentioned before, suggesting they were born in the interim. The Monstress is implied to be the Monster's first wife, making it unclear if she's the Monster's Mate from the first film.
** Norman is a big fan of the monsters and tries to get their autographs, calling them movie stars, and being one of the only human characters who goes along with the weirdness. It's a little unclear if he thinks they're just humans in costume, and is playing along, or is just a monster fan-boy.
* TheFaceless: The Monstress' face is hidden for most of the story. She's usually seen from the back, but occasionally obscures it with a fan or her hair. This is probably done to keep viewers guessing if she's beautiful by human or monster standards. [[spoiler: We get to see it when she removes her veil at the wedding. Let's just say she's got a big smile.]]
* LighterAndSofter: Visually, the special is more bright and colorful than the stop-motion movie. The monsters also come off as a lot more friendly, though this could just be VillainsOutShopping.
* MailmanVsDog: In ''Mad, Mad, Mad Monsters'', Harvey the mailman gets chased by the Invisible Man's dog as well as Ron Chanley the Werewolf.
* NoodleIncident: In ''Mad, Mad, Mad Monsters'', when the other monsters reminisce on the Frankenstein monster's glory days, one of them brings up something the monster did at the office party.
