| abstract | - In the film, two American journalists are sent to Transylvania to investigate a sighting of Frankenstein's monster. During their stay, they are also told to destroy a werewolf and encounter what appear to be a mummy and a sexy female vampire named Odette. However, none of the monster characters are quite what they seem to be at first. The title is a punning reference to the piece of music "Pennsylvania 6-5000", first recorded by Glenn Miller in 1940, portions of which are played in the movie. The same title had previously been used for a 1963 Bugs Bunny cartoon. Transylvania 6-5000 was rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America. The film did not perform very well at the box office. Having been made on an estimated budget of $3,000,000, it earned a little over $7,000,000 at movie theaters in North America.
