Happy Birthday to Mr. Bobby ‘Boris’ Pickett the Monster Mash King

February 11, 2010 Horror, Music No Comments


Time to send out some Horror Birthday Love to Bobby “Boris” Pickett. Now sad to say, Bobby is no longer here, we can still remember all his works that have made Halloween a Party to remember every year. Mr. Pickett was born on February 11, 1938. He passed away in April of 2007, but still lives on in our hearts.

SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONSTER MASH KING

Bobby had a knack for doing an impression of the legendary actor Boris Karloff. His father, a theater owner encouraged him and helped drive his love of the golden age of Horror Films. This translated to him often doing an impression of Karloff during his time with the band the Cordials. It was there that the legend of the MONSTER MASH was born.

One of his bandmates told him he needed to do a whole song dedicated to the Horror Icon and so the writing of the song began. MONSTER MASH was written in about half an hour, and has since become the staple of Halloween, Trick or Treating and Parties around the world and of all time. Most of the sound effects were created by Pickett himself including the creaky door, a nail being pulled from a piece of wood, the boiling viles, Pickett blowing bubbles in a cup among others. This creative master piece went on to hit Number One on the Billboard Charts the week leading up to Halloween in 1962, 1970, and May of 1973!

Now as we know here at ROTTING FLESH RADIO, Pickett made entire albums full of campy, novelty Halloween Songs. Some of my personal favorites were Monsters Holiday, Wolfs Bane, Transylvania Twist and others. The LP remains in my collection today and I will never forget the time I was able to meet Bobby and talk with him about this classic era when Halloween was true Americana.

Symphonc Sacrifices Back to Write NEW Music for your Haunt

February 3, 2010 Halloween, Music No Comments

In the Haunt Industry Music plays a huge roll in an event to set the mood or tone. And many of you may remember back at Midwest Haunters Convention Symphonic Sacrafices jamming on stage at Club Vampire.

Well after some time off and working on their own haunted attractions, Dr. Frankenfingers is BACK!

“Good Evening Boils and Ghouls,
Symphonic Sacrifices and Living Dead Mafia have since built two major haunted houses. One was a 7,000 Sq foot mansion at a historically preserved actual haunted house. The other was a 60,000 Sq ft trail in the middle of the woods. Great year for us!

Symphonic Sacrifices is now available again to write music for your haunted event or attraction. If you are looking for music please contact me at houdioni2@optonline.net

Thanks everyone,
Robert J. Frankenberg”

So it seems the Doc is back and ready to give your haunt an exclusive track! For more information about Symphonic Sacrifices and to hear his work visit: www.SoundClick.com/SymphonicSacrifices

Creature Feature FREE “Death of a Dollmaker” Limited Time Download

January 26, 2010 Halloween, Horror, Music No Comments


So all you Deadites, nothing speaks to us all more than Music while haunting. And with that, Spooky, Horror Music gets us in the mood to build as well and one of our favorite bands at RFR is a sweet morbid ditty called Creature Feature.

With their album, “The Greatest Show Unearthed” it is catchy, dark, moody, spooky and full of lyrics we all love to sing along to as part of the Haunt Industry.

Well now for a limited time you can get a FREE Music Download from the band to show their appreciation for all its fans support over the years. In their official release it states:

“Hello fiends,
As a special gift for all your years of ongoing support, we’ve decided to offer up our instrumental ‘Death Of A Doll Maker’ as a free download on our new Bandcamp page. We tried to set it up the free download on our Myspace player, but it didn’t seem to like that idea too much and the link doesn’t want to show up. So, when you go to our Bandcamp Page and you click on the download link it will ask for your e-mail address and for you to set your own price, you can either pick zero or any type of donation (if you have any pennies to spare), but we are making it available for free. So please download the song, tell your friends about it, e-mail about it, tweet about it, send your friends the link, etc. Just be magically whisked away to our new Bandcamp Page where you can download the song free of charge.”

So while you can you need to get this sweet FREE offer from Creature Feature. I know we have gotten our copy, and so should you. For more on the band Creature Feature visit: www.CreatureFeatureMusic.com and stay tuned to RFR as we work to get the team on the show soon.
