PRESS RELEASE


Abbey Home Media Group Announces VHS/DVD Debut of TV's Most Fantastically Fiendish Figure!

3rd February 2003


ATTACH YOUR fangs, slip on your cape and proceed with caution. You are about to enter the Mona Zone….!!

She is the pint-sized girl with the gigantic imagination who has taken the world of children's television by storm.

Since the BBC first began broadcasting her adventures two years ago, Mona the Vampire has consistently been one of CBBC's most popular cartoons.

The combination of Mona's funky, eccentric and outlandish personality and colourful and unique animation has attracted legions of followers. Now these fans will be delighted to learn that this most magical of characters will soon be making her VHS and DVD debut in a superb feature-length adventure!

Released by Abbey Home Media on 10 March and supported by a major nationwide TV advertising campaign, The New Adventures Of Mona the Vampire will retail at the fiendishly fantastic value for money price point of just £7.99 (VHS) and £9.99 (DVD). One of the few children's titles (apart from those released by the major film studios) to be released on DVD, the format will feature a specially created moving menu; a hilarious photo gallery and illuminating character biographies.

And with each purchase accompanied by free fun make-up to transform little treasures into little monsters, expect this young lady to be spooking stores and terrorising high streets all across the UK!

Like most children of her age, ten-year-old Mona delights in the icky and the eerie. However, to better investigate bizarre goings on, Mona takes her interests one step further. All it takes is some of her mother's make-up, a dining room curtain for a cape and some plastic glow-in-the-dark fangs and she becomes her outrageously courageous alter ego, Mona the Vampire.

But Mona's image isn't just a fashion statement; it's a way of life. In her world, the everyday becomes extraterrestrial, the mundane becomes monstrous and the simple becomes sublime.

Suitably attired and accompanied by cat Fang and best friends Charley (aka Zapman) and Lily (otherwise known as Princess Giant), Mona vows to track down all the weird and wacky things that live in her imagination.

Our heroine isn't afraid of anything - except for maybe cleaning her room - and in The New Adventures Of Mona the Vampire, she has plenty to contend with. She confronts ghouls, phantoms and a living scarecrow in a haunted graveyard, uncovers the secret robotic identity of her babysitter and even zaps herself into the computing world to banish a vicious virus.

So why not join Mona for some magical entertainment that you can really get your teeth into!

The New Adventures Of Mona the Vampire will be on sale at all good video stockists.
