Nicely done , but Karloff may have been asked to do "Monster Mash " , but actually did "Peppermint Twist" , of all things. It IS a great episode.

I put on my computer the version that sounds like Boris Karloff and the video showing Bobby Picket at a Halloween party. He sang Monster Mash as the party. Now I would think that even after so many years the voices would sound somewhat alike. But they don't!

Reminds me of the Criminologist from Rocky Horror Picture Show

Splendid. The Elsa Lanchester (BOF) was a nice touch, too.

I agree that it does reinforce the idea that Karloff did this, but I wonder if the man could have carried it off at his age anyway. Did he nail it?

It would have been great if he would have released his own studio version, but the clip has been found, and although very short at under a minute, I think he nails it. You can hear the missing minutes of the Shindig episode and see my other video recreation by clicking the link above under video responses. It even has the classic Lurch segment, also missing. This clip was taken from the show "Shivaree".

You are right, Grausig13. Being a lifetime Bobby Boris Pickett Monster Mash super-fan for my entire life makes me assume that everyone knows this, and recognizes his voice. Unfortunately this is not true.  I fixed the the notes on the video to now explain this. Thanks for the heads-up.

It would have been nice to have Karloff's voice instead of Picket's, (the soundtrack is out there somewhere). Still, nice effort.

I made a second clip with the actual Karloff audio, along with the rest of the missing songs from the Shindig episode once it was discovered. It's above under video responses. This video was made a couple years ago when all I had was Bobby's version.
