The Monster Mash: a Brief Retrospective

October: a month of pumpkin spice, turning leaves, scary movies, scarier presidential debates, and freaks coming out at night. It is also the month I find myself repeatedly returning to a song none other than the Monster Mash (as it’s a graveyard smash). As I continue through my college career, I too know what it is like to be working in the lab late one night, and to yearn to one day see my monster from his slab begin to rise. The song is a seasonal staple for some and a parasitic pest for others. No matter how one feels about this kitschy cult classic, its history is a fun jaunt into the crypt of the 1960s pop culture scene in which the song rests.
