    Very funny!

    Very funny episodes. Uncle Fester steals the show. Possible one of the best episodes of the series.

    • Trivia
      The sparking machine with the round dial that Fester used in his hair growth experiment was one of the original laboratory instruments used in Frankenstein (1931) as well as many other films and television shows. It was created by Kenneth Strickfaden.

    • Quotes

      Uncle Fester: You know, this could be the start of a whole new career for me: I can get a job at the zoo growin' hair on bald eagles.
