The Horrors is a unit of the BBC schools radio series Music Makers from the 1980s, covering music for primary and secondary school pupils.
A horror-comedy-musical in the style of a rock opera.
The Good family, including children Annie and Jolly, accidentally stumble into the house of mad scientist Dr Frank-and-swine, whose maniacal search for companionship has led him to hypnotise a group of monsters and misfits to join him for a party every night. The doctor is plotting to make himself a new friend, and decides he needs Jolly's brain to complete it.
