The premise

Here’s the bit.

Count Floyd reminds viewers to watch Monster Chiller Horror Theatre on Saturday and to mail him $27 for the glasses needed to enjoy this week's three-dimensional semi-classic, then previews a few scenes. In his cat-crammed mansion, Dr. Tongue serves his guest Alicia a doctored drink, introduces his kitten Dinky and watches her turn into a cat, while animals are pushed back and forth at the lens to sell the shaky 3D. Planning a party to show up the noblemen who mocked him, he bullies his stooped servant Bruno, only to find Bruno dead beside a cat and the caged cat-women loose. The cats, Alicia among them, leap at the screaming doctor, and a rattled Floyd returns to marvel at the effect and repeat his pitch for the glasses.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Would you like to see my dinky?

They laughed at me in Paris. They laughed at me in Prague.

Did you see all those cats just leaping right at you from the screen?
