Twin Cities Produced Web Horror/Comedy Series Is a National Cult Hit!
For over two years, Transylvania Television (TVTV) has been attracting college and Generation X audiences by blending traditional stand up, sitcom television, and pop culture references with their own cutting edge humor. Various national science fiction, horror, and comedy blogging news sites have been singing the praises of this underground comic hit:
Transylvania Television series follows Furry Ackermonster, a yeti with an associate’s degree and a dream as he works at a low-rent UHF station deep in the Carpathian Mountains. Furry finds TVTV being run into the ground by a group of business misfits—an aged and acerbic vampire grasping to stay relevant, a beatnik bat lost in a time warp of his own, and a hand-stitched janitor monster. Furry hotwires the station’s ailing antenna to the fabled Frankenstein Device, and chaos ensues. Now, with worldwide broadcast range and the unpredictable power to reanimate dead TV shows, the only thing standing between the bad guys and world domination is themselves.
“Every once in a while, something comes along that really stands out from the crowd. Transylvania TV is just one of those things.”

More About Transylvania Television:
TVTV is a Twin Cities produced horror sitcom that’s really NOT for kids. Like the enormously successful Avenue Q and South Park, TVTV exploits dark comedy to comment on such varied themes as recession, revenge, future shock, censorship, love, racism, and erroneous atomic monsters. The result is a cynically smart web series guaranteed to appeal. For more information, visit TVTV’s website at https://www.transylvania-tv.com.
