Storyline
In Castle Grotteskew, Stitch Head is the first creation of a mad scientist who is obsessed with creating monsters. As the scientist creates new monsters, he ignores the existence of the older ones. Stitch Head looks after all the previous monsters and teaches them to become civilized, never leave the castle, and not draw attention to themselves out of fear of an angry mob.
A traveling circus Ringmaster, Fulbert Freakfinder, who is looking for his next big, new attraction, becomes enamored with Stitch Head and attempts to get him to leave the castle for potential fame. Stitch Head initially declines the offer and tells Freakfinder off, but upon learning the Professor doesn't take note of him, he takes up Freakfinder's offer, much to the dismay of the other monsters.
Stitch Head proves to be a success with audiences as his outlandish, freakish appearance turns a big profit for Freakfinder's circus. Creature, one of the professor's recent creations, escapes from the castle and tries to bring Stitch Head back, but Stitch Head refuses because he feels loved at the Circus.
After a performance gone wrong, which results in his arm nearly being torn off, Stitch Head returns to the Castle with Creature. Meanwhile, Freakfinder, discovering that there are more monsters at the Castle and even more money to be made, tricks the city of Grubber Nubbin into forming an angry mob and attacking the castle.
Together, Stitch Head and the monsters fend themselves from the villagers. During the ensuing riot, Freakfinder attempts to make off with the Professor, but is stopped by Stitch Head, who sacrifices his arm to prevent him from getting away. With Stitch Head injured, the Professor finally takes notice of Stitch Head and his previous creations for the first time.
With Freakfinder defeated, the Professor starts paying more attention to his creations, and the monsters make peace with the townsfolk as they are accepted into the village as one of their own.
