The Story

OriginUnited StatesGenrerock music, novelty musicLabelGarpax Records

Picture a graveyard on Halloween night, where the sound of a bubbling cauldron mingles with the spirited groans of the undead. This is the whimsical world of Bobby "Boris" Pickett, the American singer-songwriter and comedian who brought the spine-tingling delight of "Monster Mash" into our lives. With a playful blend of rock and novelty music, Pickett captured the hearts of listeners, turning a simple song into an essential part of the spooky season soundtrack. His unique flair for humor and catchy melodies made “Monster Mash” a perennial favorite, inviting ghouls and ghosts to dance along. So, when the leaves turn and the nights grow crisp, crank up that infectious tune and let Bobby’s charm transport you back to a time when monsters were just a fun excuse to celebrate—because who doesn’t love a good monster party?
