The “Monster Mash” Gets an Update [Slightly NSFW, Too]

When Bobby “Boris” Pickett released “The Monster Mash” in 1962, he probably had no idea that he’d just created an annuity that would pay him royalties each year for decades. But just like a zombie that won’t stay dead, the song has reappeared every single October for the last 51 years.

Yet despite its Goth nature, I can’t think of anyone who has ever tried to modernize the song for contemporary Goth audiences.  I’m sure it’s been done, but I just can’t recall any.  Which brings me to this. It’s somewhat, er, more violent than the original. And a little NSFW in places.
