Tell Them Boris Sent You

with lyrics by Bobby "Boris" Pickett

I was working in the lab, late one night

When my eyes beheld an eerie sight

For my monster from his slab, began to rise

And suddenly to my surprise

He did the mash, he did the monster mash

The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash

He did the mash, it caught on in a flash

He did the mash, he did the monster mash

From my laboratory in the castle east

To the master bedroom where the vampires feast

The ghouls all came from their humble abodes

To get a jolt from my electrodes

They did the mash, they did the monster mash

The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash

They did the mash, it caught on in a flash

They did the mash, they did the monster mash

The zombies were having fun

The party had just begun

The guests included Wolfman,

Dracula, and his son

The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds

Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds

The coffin-bangers were about to arrive

With their vocal group, 'The Crypt-Kicker Five'

They played the mash, they played the monster mash

The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash

They played the mash, it caught on in a flash

They played the mash, they played the monster mash

Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring

Seems he was troubled by just one thing

Opened the lid and shook his fist and said

"Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist? "

It's now the mash, it's now the monster mash

The monster mash, it was graveyard smash

It's now the mash, it caught on in a flash

It's now the mash, it's now the monster mash

Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band

And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land

For you, the living, this mash was meant too

When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you

Then you can mash, then you can monster mash

The monster mash, and do my graveyard smash

Then you can mash, you'll catch on in a flash

Then you can mash, then you can monster mash

The Haunted House on Howlin’ Hill

Haunted

by Shel Silverstein

I dare you all to go into

The Haunted House on Howlin’ Hill,

Where squiggly things with yellow eyes

Peek past the wormy window sill.

We’ll creep into the moonlit yard,

Where weeds reach out like fingers,

And through the rotted old front door

A-squeakin’ on it hinges,

Down the dark and whisperin’ hall,

Past the musty study,

Up the windin’ staircase--

Don’t step on the step that’s bloody--

Through the secret panel

To the bedroom where we’ll slide in

To the ragged cobweb dusty bed

Ten people must have died in.

And the bats will screech,

And the spirits will scream,

And the thunder will crash

Like a horrible dream,

And we’ll sing with the zombies

And dance with the dead.

And howl at the ghost

With the axe in his head,

And--come to think of it what do you say

We go get some ice cream instead?

Have a Haunted Howling Hallowmas

Did you ever ask yourself...

How does the Addams family decorate for Christmas? 

How do witches festoon the tree?

What does the Mummy hang in the window at Christmastime?

What festivities do skeletons observe?

What does the Werewolf bring as a hostess gift at the holidays?

Wonder no more.  Now you, too, can decorate just like your favorite ghoul.

The Haunted Christmas Tree Forest

This is the haunted Christmas tree forest ~ the place where and ghosts and spirits gather on cold long winter nights.

They decorate the trees of the forest with snowflakes and icicles, then dust them with frost.

Many think the sound they hear is the winter wind blowing but it is, in fact, the carols of the sprits, sung around the glowing trees.

They sing of Christmases long past and ponder who will join them for next year's celebration.

Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Future, and Christmas Present are always there.

Then, as the winds die down, all the spirits return to their secret haunts to celebrate in their own way.

Listen carefully and you may hear them this holiday season.

A bracelet of sterling silver, with a sterling silver Christmas tree charm, lampwork glass ghosts and skulls, flowers, trees and Christmas bells of pressed glass and crystal, each wire wrapped with sterling silver wire.  The bracelet has an inside diameter of approximately 7".

Cost is $99.  Shipping is free within the US and Canada.  For shipping elsewhere, please inquire by leaving a comment.

Things That Go Bump in the Night

Under the Bed

by

Penny Tryznka

There’s a terrible green monster
who lives beneath my bed.
I hear his long white teeth click.

He’s waiting to be fed.
I shiver underneath my sheets
and squeeze my eyes up tight.

Maybe if I lie real still
he won’t eat me tonight…
He taps me on the shoulder.

I don’t know what to do.
He looks at me and says, “I’m scared!
Can I get in with you?”
