Minnesota Produced Comedy Hit Scheduled to Air October 22, 2010

Sept. 9, 2010 - PRLog -- Thanks to fan donations and corporate sponsors, the locally-produced Transylvania Television (TVTV) has raised enough money to produce and broadcast an hour-long Halloween special on the Twin Cities’ network CW on October 22, 2010 at 11:00 pm (CDT).  Transylvania Television’s Real Meanin’ Of Halloween Special Show humorously tells the adventures of the misfit monsters from TVTV as they go in search of the terrible, secret origins of Halloween.  

A preview event will take place at the Bell Museum Auditorium, 10 Church Street, Minneapolis, MN, on Wednesday, October 20, 2010 from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm. The event is open to the public at no cost for the 6:30 pm showing.  

Corporations sponsoring Transylvania Television’s Real Meanin’ Of Halloween Special include The Source Comics and Games, The Art Institutes International Minnesota, MN Film and TV Board, Crypticon, Fantasy Gifts, HalloweenCostumes.com Zombie Ammo, Center of Mass, On-set Photography, APEL Consulting, and Nifty PR.  

Transylvania Television (TVTV) is an all-puppet sitcom aimed at adults.  Imagine Avenue Q crossbred with the classic Munsters TV show, creating another Mystery Science Theater 3000 cult-like following. TVTV attracts college and Generation X audiences by blending traditional stand up, sitcom television, and pop culture references with its own cutting edge humor.

The producers and “fleece animators” of TVTV continue to expand their audience base. Using the Web and guerilla marketing tactics, TVTV has reached out to audiences via Facebook, iTunes, and Twitter while creating an army of “zombie minions” for their cult hit.

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 http://www.transylvania-tv.com.
