XERUS’S VOICE ARTIST FOCUS:

Allen was famous for doing voices for radio and for classic cartoons, including the villains Simon Barsinister and Riff Raff for The Underdog Show.

May he R.I.P. indeed.
You can remove the "?" from Mad Monster Party. I have it on DVD and can confirm that's the title and that Alan Swift provided those character's voices.
Question though... How does The Mad Mad Mad Monsters differ from Mad Monster Party? And also, you listed a character as "Dracula's". Dracula's "what"?

Sorry, I meant to write, Dracula's son. Thank you for pointing that out to me. Also, can you tell me how I can edit my first post on this page? I need to know so I can remove the question mark and fix that other mistake.

Also, I've never seen Mad Mad Mad Monsters so I can't really tell you. Maybe one day, it'll come my way.

Oh, thanks then.

There should be an "Edit/Delete this post" link at the bottom of your posts. That link is only available up to a certain time period after the post has been made. If it no longer appears, then you'd have to ask a mod in helping you to edit your post.
