Description[]

Everyone's favourite pre-historic families, the Flintstones and the Rubbles, win a television quiz show, the prize being a "romantic" trip to Count Rockula's castle in Rocksylvania.

Delight soon turns to dismay when they accidently wake Count Rockula from a 500 year old sleep, and things get really complicated when the Count mistakes Wilma for his long lost bride.

This hair-raising adventure features more monstrously funny cartoon capers from the stoneage.
