Back in October of'65 ABC's Shindig! broadcast their Halloween episode and showed a clip of the Monster Mash performed by Boris Karloff. The clip was lost somehow, but with scenes from that show that still remain, I was able to assemble a music video of what it might have looked like. I've been searching for the Karloff clip for years, and until the original is found, this will have to do. Thanks to Jason at Scar Stuff for the great remix of the Monster Mash vocal by the GRRREAT Bobby Boris Pickett!

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!
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.
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.
