Sequel
In 1972, Rankin/Bass produced a sequel of sorts, with the TV special Mad Mad Mad Monsters which aired on September 23, 1972 as part of The ABC Saturday Superstar Movie. This Halloween special featured many of the same monster characters. Bob McFadden did his imitation of Boris Karloff when voicing Baron Boris von Frankenstein. Although it presumably was not intended as a direct sequel since many of these characters perished at the end of Mad Monster Party and is most likely a prequel. Mad, Mad, Mad Monsters was created using cel animation, rather than stop-motion. While Mad Monster Party still enjoys an ardent cult following, it has fallen into comparative obscurity.
Mad Mad Mad Monsters was released on DVD July 12, 2011 from Classic Media.

“Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children’s party taken over by the elders.”
