A Classic Halloween Soundtrack, Revamped

First released in 1962 following the success of Pickett’s smash hit “Monster Mash,” the The Original Monster Mash album has since become a beloved soundtrack for Halloween celebrations. From its ghoulishly fun title track to eerie dance numbers and horror-inspired parodies, this album has something for every fan of the macabre. Now, with fully remastered audio, listeners can experience these spooky tracks with enhanced sound quality that brings every howl, creak, and cryptic croon to life.

The album opens with the ever-popular “Monster Mash,” a Halloween anthem that needs no introduction. It’s followed by a series of playful and spooky tracks, each offering a unique take on monster movie themes and 1960s dance crazes. Tracks like “Graveyard Shift” and “Transylvania Twist” invite listeners to the haunted dance floor, while “Wolfbane” and “Bella’s Bash” bring a darker, more mysterious vibe.

For those who appreciate a bit of humor with their horror, songs like “Me & My Mummy” and “Rabian – The Fiendage Idol” showcase Pickett’s knack for blending spooky stories with comedic lyrics, making the album a perfect mix of fun and fright.

This glow-in-the-dark vinyl edition of The Original Monster Mash is a comprehensive celebration of all things Halloween. From the catchy “Monster Motion” to the eerie “Irresistible Igor,” every track adds to the album’s nostalgic charm. The glow-in-the-dark vinyl and vintage-inspired artwork bring a tangible sense of nostalgia, making this album not just a listening experience but a visual treat as well.
