Product Description
From the Back Cover
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 Transylvania 6-5000!

Sometimes the funniest bits are not from the so-called stars. My husband and I love this movie only for certain parts. Forget Jeff Goldblum and Ed Begley Jr! The parts featuring Carol Kane, Joseph Bologna, and John Byner are excellent and hilarious. They stole the movie! You can tell they had fun doing this one. Jeff Goldblum and Ed Begley Jr and Michael Richards weren't very funny, mostly just silly. Still, this is in our collection.
Format:DVD
This is an excellent movie. I saw it years ago when it first came out. Then, after a long, exhaustive search, I found it on VHS format after it was out of print. I am thrilled to have found it on DVD format.

This is one of many movies that proves Jeff Goldblum had magic in the eighties. Once he ditched comedy in the late 90's, his career didn't seem as steady and us 80's fans were left in the cold. Then along came the wonderful invention called DVD...
Being an 80's child I must have slept through this one because I hadn't heard of this movie before watching it. I got it on a whim and because I read it was sort of silly, I didn't anticipate much. I ended up liking it very much. The film was not corny at all but lathered in the right amount of 80's, slapstick humor. All the characters were wonderful including Geena Davis ( former Mrs. Goldblum ) who had only a few lines as a wannabe vampire. Ed Begley was as goofy as ever but that's part of his charm. He and Jeff Goldblum were a riot and it made me wonder why comedy isn't as funny these days as it was in the 80's. This was good clean, Saturday Night Live type-humor when SNL was good! Hold onto your seats with this one! It's full of chills and tip top adventures. A definite must see for comedy lovers! If you enjoyed the comedy of Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, you'll enjoy this funny buddy movie about vampire babes and hilarious monsters!

Don't say I didn't warn you
I figure I can score big karma points if I can warn at least one person away from Transylvania 6-5000. It's not just that the film isn't funny. Read more

Smell the Glass!!
I think Peter Dahlin (up a few commentaries) and Leonard Maltin must be related or something. I think this movie is a GAS!! (pththt) Oops! There is nothing un-funny in it! Read more
