SIGMUND AND THE SEA MONSTERS: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON on DVD

For The First Time On DVD, Follow All Of Sigmund’s Adventures As He Befriends Brothers Johnny and Scott Stuart

Who ever heard of a friendly sea monster? Rhino Home Video has and on September 13th they are bringing to DVD for the first time ever SIGMUND AND THE SEA MONSTERS: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON. This is not your typical monster story; this is the tale of, Sigmund Ooze, who is simply unable to scare. He can’t seem to find his place in the Ooze family with his bad-mannered brothers, Slurp and Blurp, always making fun of poor Sigmund. Join Sigmund Ooze as he runs away from his family’s cave at Dead Man’s Point, leaving behind his brothers as well as his selfish and inconsiderate parents, and heads into the real world. Sigmund is not homeless for long; he soon befriends two human brothers named Johnny and Scott Stuart (Johnny Whitaker and Scott Kolden) who keep Sigmund in their backyard clubhouse. The Stuart boys do their best to hide Sigmund from Slurp and Blurp, who take every chance they can to steal Sigmund back. Premiering in 1973, SIGMUND AND THE SEA MONSTERS became one of Sid and Marty Krofft’s most memorable TV hits, and the adventures continue to roll as Sigmund avoids going back to his unlikable and unfriendly home.

Another classic collection of TV favorites from the well-known Krofft brothers hits retail on September 13th. This DVD contains each of the 17 episodes from the first season of SIGMUND. Each installment is a chain of adventures as Sigmund grows up, avoiding the torment of his real brothers, and explores life as a human boy. Sid and Marty Krofft entertain audiences again and again with their quirky view of family, friends, and growing up.

1. The Monster Who Came To Dinner Brothers Johnny & Scott Stuart take in a sea monster named Sigmund after he is ostracized by his family for being insufficiently scary.
2. Puppy Love Still a stranger to the human world, Sigmund falls in love with a dog named Fluffy. Back at Dead Man’s Point, a manpower crisis in the chore department results in a scheme to lure Sigmund back by having Slurp pose as Sigmund’s favorite pin-up monster, Diana Demon.
3. Frankenstein Drops In When Scott becomes trapped in the Ooze family cave, Johnny disguises himself as Frankenstein’s monster, every monster’s idol, in an effort to rescue him.
4. Is There A Doctor In The House? An ailing Sigmund can only recover by eating the food back at home—mashed eels, melted jellyfish, and squid milk. Problem is, Slurp needs it too.
5. Happy Birthday Sigmund secretly cleans their house for the Sheriff’s birthday party as favor to the boys only to be kidnapped by his sea monster brothers who force him to clean their cave for Big Daddy’s birthday. The boys rescue Sigmund, the birthday cake and the sheriff’s presents, and clean the house just in the nick of time.
6. The Nasty Nephew A visit from Aunt Zelda’s obnoxious nephew Leroy goes awry when he is kidnapped by the Oozes, who want to claim him as a dependent on their income taxes.

8. Ghoul School Daze When the Oozes are notified that at least one family member must, by law, attend Ghoul School, committed truants Slurp and Blurp attempt to bring Sigmund back home. Meanwhile, Johnny and Scott have their own academic explaining to do when the assistant principal of their school pays a visit to Aunt Zelda.
