Original Monster Mash [Hallmark]

Bobby "Boris" Pickett perfected a Boris Karloff impression, and after co-writing "Monster Mash" with Leonard Capizzi to cash in on the then-current Mashed Potato dance fad, he made a whole career out of that one song, making Halloween radio his own, and turned out endless slightly different versions of what was essentially the same song, several of which are collected here. It was a "graveyard smash" indeed.
