The songs effects on the song were done as follows: The coffin being opened was made by pulling a rusty nail out of a lump of wood with the claw of a hammer. The bubbling sounds came from blowing through a straw in a glass of water. The sounds of the chains was made by dropping chains onto plywood planks on the record studio floor. The third re-release for this song in 1973 was a #1 hit in Australia, spending over 20 weeks on the Top 40 charts.

This compilation of footage fits perfectly. 👍🏿👍🏾👍🏽👍🏼👍🏻

One of my favorite songs with clips from some of my favorite movies. Couldn't get any better!

Ok this song is legendary. It's almost 50 years old and it has played nonstop, every single Halloween ever since.

A #1 hit for Bobby "Boris" Pickett and The Crypt-Kickers in October 1962. Just in time for Halloween. This has become a staple for every Halloween since then.

there is no way Halloween can pass without hearing this classic tune

I love all the old movie clips! Excellent!

What a hoot - great to see those old b&w films again. Keep the faith.

On this day in 1970 {August 23rd} "Monster Mash" by bobby 'Boris' Pickett re-entered the Billboard Hot Top 100 at #92, the next week it was still at #92, and then on its third and final week on the chart it peaked at #91... The same week it re-entered the Top 100 another ‘Mash’ debut on the chart; "Song from M*A*S*H" by Al Delory entered at position #85, though it would only peak at #70, it would stay on the Top 100 for 12 weeks... The 20th Century Fox movie “M*A*S*H” had its world premiere eights months earlier on January 25th, 1970 in New York City… R.I.P. Bobby 'Boris' Pickett {1938 - 2007} and Alfred V. 'Al' De Lory {1930 - 2012}...

Then Anakin knelt before Monster Mash and pledged his allegiance to the Graveyard Smash

Yes I just watched Tonight

Every Halloween I send this video of Bobby Picket to my kids for the last 5yrs and every year so get great Happy Face & Monster Face !☠🤣💀

Bellissimo!!! Molto meglio questi vecchi film dell'orrore ridicoli ma genuini che i moderni splatters che piuttosto che far paura fanno solo schifo. Absolutely Great!!!

Happy Halloween 2015, guys!! :D

Mash Good!

This was so cool I love all those older shows.

Grate song grate show!!!!!!! This reminds me of the world I live in. In side my head!!!!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

What are these from

These... These effects are beautiful, I need to watch that movie with the brain.

Sang this in karaoke last night with some of my friends. Great song!

Im not even 15 yet. And this is one of the best god damn songs i have ever heard.

Love it! This song came out in 1962, same year as me LOL. Thanks for the retro, love it.

Listening to a replay online of American Top 40 from June 30, 1973. This song was was the highest debut of the week at #31. It would peak at #10. While the song was originally a hit in 1962, it was reissued in 1973 and became a Top 10 hit again. Sales in 1973 were driven mainly by pre-teens such as myself. Monster/horror themes were very popular for kids back then which probably had something to do with the song becoming a hit again for another generation in the 70s.

I heard it three times on my way to work on different radio stations!! I almost ran off the road! LOL

This song always makes me smile and the movie clips made me laugh!

Realy had a good fun watching this compilation !

great recopilation of old-time monster movies! Thanks!!

There's a classic rock station where I come from, and every time around Halloween, they play this song atleast once, love that station.

Oh Bobby, you certainly did do the Monster Mash. Gone but not forgotten.

Finally found it best monster mash mv ever

I love that scene with the cat (2:23) One of the best videos ever!

Great oldie, thanks!!

Billboard's #38 song of the '73 survey year. God bless you, soulrocket, for postin' it. Thanx!

Now I want to watch all of these movies. Sounds like a good time to have an old school horror marathon. LOL!

i really can't get tired of this music

Brings back old memories!

I've always enjoyed this song, since my birthday IS Halloween, so that makes it special to me!!

I have this on a 45. wow, been a long time since I have seen this. Its great.

God.. I'm going to be listening to this all day tomorrow

I saw Bobby "Boris" Pickett perform at the Greek Theater in LA about seven years ago. He was hilarious. RIP and thanks for the great song.

I suppose we;ll still be hearin' it centuries from now.

Great footage and classic song

This song is almost 50 years old and is played every Halloween. Classic!

i love this dam song i don't know why but it's just so dam catchy after all these years it still hasn't lost it's ability to lure a new generation and it always will lure in a new generation 1000yrs from now people will still be downloading it on utube thats if utubes still around lol

we all love this song and dance to it every year lol

man nothing is better than the classics

OMG, I was a kid when this came out in 1962! I wore a hole in the 45 single back then ... yes, a vinyl record on a turntable, LOL!

This is classic. Loved it.

Rest in Peace, Bobby "Boris" Pickett - we will miss you!

Ah yes, those golden days of B movie horror flicks that scared the bejeebies out of us as kids when we watched them on late night TV! Great video!

I love the voice. Everyone should have to talk and/or sing like that, all the time.

I was one of the original fans of the song (I'm 60 years old), plus I saw nearly all the movies from the clip, both good and cheezy). This is the best edit mix I've seen on youtube!!!! Congrats!

i rember this show i useed to watch this show the monster mash back in 1971 when 44 kbhk was the king of the horror movie shows now i'm 52 & this show still gives me chills!!!!

This is just pure genius... i remember listening to this during an exam at school back in '73 :-)

Awesome.

Released in August 1962...it hit # 1 on the Billboard charts on October 20,1962...just in time for Halloween...

Brings back so many childhood tv days! Thank you for posting!

Fantastic song! Amazing!

Hahaha nice colaberation And great Classic! Rip Bobby

This is the best B-movie compilation into one music video of all time. And it was made a few decades before video mash-ups were plagueing youtube :) The 'mash-up' meme probably came from this piece of genius.

every time around halloween i have to lisen to this song atleast once i love it! brings back memories(:

Memorys of Saturday afternoons at the " Flicks "......and then walking home down the middle of dark streets.....running past dark allyways !

My kids used to love this song!

this is greatness. the clips that is

You are right! Thanks for reminding me...I need to go egg the house of the old grouch down the street!

thanks for putting the clips to the song, that was a flash back experience!

It wouldn't be Halloween unless I heard this song! Happy Halloween from California.
