The Cult of Cummings

I posted when they were taking pre-orders but now the complete series of Bump In The Night is available on DVD for immediate purchase!

But if you are waiting for the DVD to come to a store near you, it’s going to be a long wait! The DVD is being released exclusively through Shout! which means that there is no plans to put it in stores. But if you want a copy, you can grab it now from Shout! right here.

You can read their product description below:

He goes a hundred miles an hour, he’s green dynamite
His name is Mr. Bumpy, he goes Bump In The Night!

Mr. Bumpy (Jim Cummings) is a wild green guy living under the bed, gobbling up dirty socks, rocking the night away and getting into adventures with his pals Squishington (Rob Paulsen), the neat-freak bathroom monster and Molly Coddle (Gail Matthius), a comfort doll who consoles those in need. A classic Saturday morning cartoon that aired from 1994 to 1995, this claymation program was highly creative and featured fantastic karaoke songs.

This set includes all 26 episodes form the two-season series, including the iconic fan favorite “Night Of The Living Bread”.

Mr. Bumpy is the role Jim Cummings received his Annie Nominations for so you don’t want to miss this classic from his earlier career.

Very special thanks go to Ashley Wool who was kind enough to send us the following little treat.

Since we just rolled into July, it’s pretty safe to say that everyone who is attending school is definitely out for the summer. Please enjoy this fantastic version of Jim Cummings singing School’s Out as Mr. Bumpy from Bump in the Night.

As Ashley says:

I was an avid fan of Bump in the Night back in the day (I recorded literally every episode on VHS), and today I unearthed Mr. Bumpy’s Karaoke Cafe cover version of “School’s Out” by Alice Cooper. It’s pretty awesome and, at eight years old, it was my introduction to rock ‘n’ roll. If anybody wants to hear Jim Cummings being a total rock star, I highly recommend this.

You can listen to the MP3 of this song in our Media Section soon when I fix it back up (it was lower on the list of priorities than, say, the homepage). In the meantime, enjoy the music video below:

I must confess that Rob Paulsen’s background singing raises this song to a whole new level of hilarity.
