High above the little town of Grubbers Nubbin looms Castle Grotteskew.  Here, in his haphazard laboratory, the maddest of all mad professors brings his latest monstrous creation to (almost)- life™, before promptly moving on to the next. 

Watching, high up in the rafters and hidden in the shadows, is the professor’s first, long-forgotten creation.  A tiny, strange-looking fellow, Stitch Head is made up of bits, pieces, and spare parts.  He is quite a sight to behold. 

Stitch Head keeps the castle & his fellow monsters safe by doing everything he can to keep them all hidden.  He is terrified that even the smallest sign of monstrousness will cause the townsfolk of Grubbers Nubbin to burn the castle to the ground.  It is a job he undertakes with care & precision, until one day a tired-looking freak show comes to town; led by its desperate owner Fulbert Freakfinder.  The show is in dire need of a new attraction and when Freakfinder meets humble Stitch Head, he knows he has found his star.

Based on the book series by Guy Bass, this raucous twist on the Frankenstein story is an animated comedy adventure for monsters young & old.
