BORIS KARLOFF TRIBUTE
Back in October of 1965 ABC telecast a Halloween episode of 'Shindig', starring an aged Boris Karloff as the host, and on that episode he sang his version of the classic tune "The Monster Mash", a song that Bobby Boris Pickett had made famous just three years earlier in 1962. Bobby impersonated the classic voice of Boris, and the song has been on the charts about every year since. The episode was recorded on early video tape, and although the show is out there, it is missing five minutes and seven seconds of footage. Either the tape was cut and used for another show, or it simply disintegrated. Unfortunately it's the Boris "Monster Mash" portion, as well as another few minutes of Halloween classics. Two years ago I found the Halloween Shindig episode minus the clip, and took a few scenes of Boris from the show and lip cinched him to the Bobby Boris Pickett version. I inserted a revved up version of the song, painstakingly edited by 'Scar Stuff', as well as some classic Universal movie clips and made a short video. Here's the result:
