New York in Song
“The Ultimate Monster Mash”
The zombies were having fun, the party had just begun.
The guests included Wolfman, Dracula and his son.
They did the mash…they did the monster mash
“The Monster Mash” was a hit in 1962 for the novelty act The Cryptkickers, and it has remained an enduring camp classic ever since. Of course, the ultimate Monster Mash takes place every October 31st right here in New York City: The Annual Greenwich Village Halloween Parade!
Not unlike Mardi Gras in New Orleans, the Halloween Parade is one of the biggest parties thrown anywhere in the world. This year’s will mark the 33rd annual event, and it promises to be the best yet! There are more than 53 bands that will be playing all kinds of music, plus performances by dancers, artists and acrobats. And then there are the huge, incredibly made puppets; they’re like Thanksgiving Day balloons with a sinister side!
