The Flintstones and Rubbles don crazy costumes to compete on the 'Make a Deal or Don't' game show, winning a romantic trip to Count Rockula's castle in Rocksylvania. The couples arrive at the castle in time for the costume ball, but Fred and Barney accidentally run across Count Rockula's secret laboratory. Unable to find their way back, the boys climb out the window - leaving it open and allowing a lightning bolt to enter and bring the Frankenstone monster to life. Frankenstone awakens Count Rockula from his 500 year slumber and the two of them scare the party out of the castle - all but the Rubbles and Flintstones who went to bed early...
The Flintstones Meet Rockula and Frankenstone is a 45-minute Halloween television special that was produced in 1979 by Hanna-Barbera Productions and first aired on October 30, 1980 on NBC. As a kid I never really cared for the Flintstones, but I have been able to appreciate the show a lot more as I got older. Of all of the Flintstones episodes and specials I have seen, This one is probably third best; behind A Flintstones Christmas Carol, and The Jetsons meet the Flintstones, which are both very well done. The only real problem that I have with this special, is that even though it involved costumes, a costume party, a dark and gloomy castle, and Bedrock versions of Dracula and Frankenstein, "Halloween" is never mentioned. It's obviously a Halloween special (for the reasons I already stated plus its airing on October 30), so why not just incorporate the holiday to complete the package? Anyhow....it is still a fun watch.
