Bobby "Boris" Pickett co-writer of the song Monster Mash has died (see here). Of course he famously provided the Karloff-like vocals for the Halloween favorite as well. So long and thanks for the “graveyard smash.”

Halloween got a shot in the arm from Pickett. Good stuff and good video.
ReplyDeleteFare thee well.
That tune is my favorite Halloween song! It's sad, another one "bites the dust", as it were.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad but hey, his tune will live on so he does in a way.
ReplyDeleteGood video. That floating brain (The Brain From Planet Arous) was made from fiberglass. In elementary school we had a haunted house and one of the kids fathers worked in films and brought the brain, with a light inside of it, for the haunted house. It was great.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the memories. So long, Bobby.
WOW that's very cool!
ReplyDeleteI love the version with Boris Karloff singing.
