Halloween Madness: Political Cartoons of Our Ghoulish Government, Plus Boris Karloff’s “Monster Mash” Song with Vintage Halloween Video Footage

Posted By on October 29, 2010

Friday morning, just two more days until Halloween… the eve of Halloween’s eve. And four more days until “The Day of Reckoning.”

Some Halloween op-ed political cartoon funnies and Halloween songs/videos to put you in the Halloween spirit before battling the morning rush hour traffic… happy Halloween!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Veteran horror film actor Boris Karloff performed the classic “Monster Mash” on the teen music show, “Shindig!” back in 1965. A fun, recreated video.

Summary/background on video from YouTube contributor godzzla:

Back in October of ’65 ABC’s Shindig! broadcast their Halloween episode and showed a clip of the Monster Mash performed by Boris Karloff. The clip was lost somehow, but with scenes from that show that still remain, I was able to assemble a music video of what it might have looked like. I’ve been searching for the Karloff clip for years, and until the original is found, this will have to do. Thanks to Jason at Scar Stuff for the great remix of the Monster Mash vocal by the GRRREAT Bobby Boris Pickett!

H/t to Motor City Times for this next spooky classic with the legendary Alice Cooper.

Silly video, but I rather like the song… has a Beatles-esque quality at times in the chorus.

This one was just too weird and too retro to not include… and yes, it’s a real ad from this year. Brady Bunch Halloween costumes!
