This day in history: Bobby "Boris" Picket and the Crypt Kickers hit the top of the charts with "The Monster Mash" on this day in 1962. The song would be re-released several more times on to the charts. The BBC had banned the record from airplay in 1962 on the grounds that the song was "too morbid." The "Transylvania Twist" mentioned in the song became its own song eventually. There is even a song ABOUT the Monster Mash recorded by Blair Packham. "Monsters' Holiday", a Christmas-themed follow up to the Monster Mash was released in December of 1962.
