RIP Bobby "Boris" Pickett

By Jon Condit
April 27th, 2007

Ryan Rotten at Shock Till You Drop just laid down some really bad news.

The creator of the anthem of all horror fans, The Monster Mash, Bobby "Boris" Picket passed on in Los Angeles Wednesday night at the age of 69 after battling leukemia.

With his spot-on Boris Karloff impersonation, Pickett crooned his way into the hearts of millions of fans worldwide. The famous single has graced the Billboard charts three times since it was released and will no doubt remain in all of our hearts.

We at Dread Central would like to take this time to offer our most sincere condolences to Bobby's friends, family, and fellow entertainers.

Rock on at the big show in the sky, Bobby! The Mash lives on ...

- Uncle Creepy
