I believe it happened.

Why wont the Paranormal community/Discovery Channel finally investigate this occurance?

If I had unlimited fund the FIRST thing I would do is a full investigation into the whereabouts of the original Monster Mash location. Also the identities of the Crypt Kicker Five.

They were ALL there. Why has everyone been so quite about this?

Zombies
Wolf Man
Dracula and his son
Igor
The Crypt-Kicker Five

To name but some of the possible attendees. I pretty much 100% believe Frankenstein would have been there, not to mention some skeletons.

This thread is giving me deja vu. I think that means I must have been there too.

I wonder which monster I am.

No way they would invite Frankenstein. I don't think you're the one who should be heading this investigation, pal, cause you don't know poo poo.

I feel that the term "Zombie" is outdated and frankly borderline racist. The oncologically-disadvantaged have as many rights as we do if not more, especially if the petition I'm running gets enough signatures. Yes, even I'll admit they've had trouble with infection in the past, but one or two bad apples shouldn't spoil far from the graveyard. Or something.

Everbody knows Frankenstein was a doctor not a monster. Why should he be invited?

Come on, dude. Clearly he means a Frankenstein, not Dr. Frankenstein.

Your pedantry helps no one. (Except of course, Qwllo'lop, the 11th dimensional formless entity that feeds off of pedantry. And he's just a dick, not a monster, per se.)

I always thought a "graveyard smash" was when people got wasted and vandalized tombstones. Then I googled monster mash because of this thread.

WHO INVENTED THE MONSTER MASH?

If you listen carefully to the lyrics, many party attendees are named. Specifically named individuals include:

Igor
Dracula
Dracula's son
The Wolfman
The Crypt-Kicker Five

However, the narrator only names himself once during the whole ordeal, casually stating at the end, "Tell them Boris sent you."

WHO IS BORIS?

Are we to trust this narrator's word? Is his name, in reality, Boris? And what do we know of his past? It seems to me the public should know the TRUTH about the chronicler of this ghastly event, and perhaps event the perpetrator of this mashing of monsters.

What we know about Boris (if indeed his words are to be trusted):
- He was working in his lab.
- It was late at night.
- He used his eyes to observe an "eerie" sight.
- He was constructing some sort of monster.
- The monster rose from it's slab.
- Boris was apparently surprised that the monster could "mash." Perhaps he did not intend to create a dancing monster.

Boris is the person who obviously laisons between the Creature World and the Human World.

"Boris" is a reference to professional monster-impersonator William "Boris Karloff" Pratt, alluding to his clandestine involvement in COINTELPRO actions against the biologically different. The song commemorates the monster genocides of 1961: as the foreign-accented provocateur was working "in his lab" (to further the technocratic goals of the military-industrial complex) late one night, monsters from their slabs began to "rise" up and demand equality. And in response, they were brutally crushed -- or "mashed". Further, as Illegibly Eligible pointed out, the "graveyard smash" was the physical destruction of monster communities located in or around human graveyards.

That this brutality "caught on in a flash" refers to vigilante groups setting fire to other monster communities.

"Tell them Boris sent you" -- Pickett naively believed that if it had not been for Pratt unifying monster society under the guise of a Communist foreign agent, then the US government would not have had the excuse to commit (and then cover up) this historic atrocity.
