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!

Customer Reviews

It's good huh!?
Transylvania 6-5000 is one of the funniest comedies ever done. With Jeff Goldblum and Ed Begely Jr. and other hilarious actors the laughs and gags continue without an end.

The movie is about two reporters who are asigned to Transylvania to write a monster story. Upon their arival they run into the craziest of characters like Faojs the castle butler, (Michael Richards) the mayor, (Jeffery Jones) and servent's Radu and Lupi (John Byner & Carol Kane)

While staying in the castle they find more than they came looking for like a vampier countess that enjoys "necking" (Geena Davis) the sane/insane Dr. Malavaqua (Joseph Bologna) and many more.

The movie is filled with funny one-liners and great comic acts. It'll have you laughing until it hurts!

Great...if you like this sort of thing
When my parents first bought a reconditioned top loading VCR in the late eighties, the video store had four films to rent; Legend, Driller Killer, The Magic Toyshop and Transylvania 65000. My views on the film might be slightly clouded by the fact that I watched this film approximately once a week for 3 years. It is worth buying for the Butler/Doll scene alone. There's also a brilliant slipping-on-a-banana gag. I would recommend it highly. My Dad doesn't laugh at many films but he was streaming with tears and boogers at this one (once a week for 3 years).

Take off your thinking cap
Please don't press play with the expectation of doing any higher learning. Just go with it. I, too, recall this one fondly from my childhood and I couldn't wait for it to be released on DVD. The early appearance by Michael "Cosmo Kramer" Richards is worth the purchase price by itself, not to mention Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis in roles they might rather forget. All that notwithstanding, my favorite two characters have to be Lupi and Radu. What a marriage!
