Bobby "Boris" Pickett Pickett and Paxton, along with Leon Russell, Johnny McCrae and Rickie Page recorded the tune, and when the session was done, it was Paxton who came up with the idea of putting "Bobby 'Boris' Pickett and the Cryptkickers", on the record's label. Born Robert George Pickett on February 11th, 1940, Bobby was fascinated by horror movies as a child. Pickett also added all his own sound sound effects: the creaky door opening is a nail being pulled from a piece of wood, the boiling cauldron is Pickett blowing bubbles into a cup of water with a straw and the chains are him moving chains up and down. www.classicbands.com /boris.html   (533 words)

Oldies.com & Collectables Records : Bobby "Boris" Pickett Bobby "Boris" Pickett (And The Crypt-Kickers) recorded the US number 1 "Monster Mash' in 1962, a song which has remained alive for decades due to perennial radio airplay each Halloween. Pickett, an avowed fan of actor Boris Karloff, worked an impression of the horror film star into some of the group's songs and he and the Cordials" Leonard Capizzi wrote "Monster Mash" to cash in on the dance craze launched by Dee Dee Sharp's "Mashed Potato Time" hit of 1962. Pickett had two other minor US chart singles in 1962-63, including the Top 30 "Monster's Holiday", but he is indelibly linked with the classic novelty number. www.oldies.com /artist/view.cfm/id_2847.html   (314 words)

Recess Pickett recalls, "I was fascinated with the horror genre and I loved Boris Karloff." As a teenager, Pickett perfected an imitation of Karloff. Among the songs in their repetoir was Little Darlin and for the romantic spoken section in the middle of the song, Pickett was recruited to recite the lines as Boris Karloff might. A couple of years later, Pickett, and a former member of The Cordials, Lenny Capizzi, sat down at a piano with the idea of expanding the role of Boris in a song. www.recess.ufl.edu /transcripts/2001/1025.shtml   (511 words)

B Showcasing Pickett's bizarre pseudo-Boris Karloff/Vincent Price impression, nothing here was as impressive as the title track, but compared to most theme albums, material such as "Monster Holiday" (a minor follow on hit), "Graveyard Shift", "Sinister Stomp" and "Blood Bank Blues" came off as likeable and suitably goofy. Born and raised in Somerville, Massachusetts, after graduating from high school and fulfilling his military service, Bobby Pickett decided to relocated to Los Angeles. Although his prime interest was in becoming an actor, Pickett found time to join a number of singing groups including The Stompers and The Cordials. www.geocities.com /rdten3/PICKETTbobby.htm   (682 words)
