Biography

Pickett is, of course, the man doing the Boris Karloff impression on the Halloween hit "Monster Mash." He moved to L.A. in 1961 following his discharge from the army, hoping to become an actor. He joined a singing group called The Cordials, and after perfecting his Karloff voice, co-wrote "Monster Mash" with Cordials member Leonard Capizzi to take advantage of the Mashed Potato dance craze.

3.0 out of 5 stars I got mine autographed!, February 11, 2004
This is the complete original Monster Mash album from the '60s by Bobby Pickett. It features his monster smash "Monster Mash" and a lot of other monster themed music recorded to fill out the album. To be blunt, most of this material is "filler". It is fun, silly stuff, but it's not great by any stretch of the imagination. I should mention that there is one bonus track added to the CD, which is the Christmas single "Monster's Holiday". It's a good CD to get for your Halloween party.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sounds good to me!, April 14, 2005
I've been trying to find the Monster Mash album at a decent price. It was last released on CD in 14 years ago and is now being sold for about $80 used!! One review on here complained about Bobby Pickett selling CD R copies for $20 which are autographed and came with a pen. Sounds good to me! It'd be great to have all of these songs, but I can't afford an $80 used CD! A $20 autographed copy from Pickett is more to my liking.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this LP!, October 27, 1998
By A Customer
this is the classic of classics when it come to Halloween music! I have been looking for this LP (does that tell you how old I am?) for 20 years. If I had know it was out again in 1992, I would have order it then. I can only hope it gets reissued again. If it does, anyone who likes FUN music will love this CD!
