Famous Monsters Speak -- An Evening with Boris Karloff

The above LP was advertised in the back of Eerie, Creepy, Famous Monsters, and other essential preteen reading material of the 1960s.

According to Discogs, this 1963 kids' record was written by Chaney Berg, with the "voices" of Gabriel Dell performing.  Don;t you wonder if the writer's name might be a pseudonym, a variant of the evil Chernobog?

There are two tracks.
1 Frankenstein's Monster Talks
2 Dracula's Return

Famous Monsters Speak

This 1967 release features the King of the Monsters narrating sound excerpts from various Universal monster movies.  There are ten tracks.

01 - Introduction
02 - Dracula
03 - All About the Monster
04 - Frankenstein
05 - The Mummy
06 - The Bride of Frankenstein
07 - The Son of Frankenstein
08 - The Wolf Man
09 - The House of Frankenstein
10 - Finale
An Evening with Boris Karloff and His Friends

Stay scared, kiddies!
 

Songs Our Mummy Taught Us -- Dracula's Deuce

One is by "Bobby McFadden and Dor"

02 - The Shriek Of Agony (Shriek Of Agony-Cha Cha Cha)
03 - Shake, Rattle And Roll
04 - I Dig You Baby
05 - Frankie And Igor At A Rock And Roll Party
06 - Noisy Village

08 - More Sing Along With The Mummy

11 - The Beat Generation
12 - The Beverly Hills Telephone Directory Cha Cha Cha

Legend has it that the "poet" Rod McKuen is "Dor."

Songs Our Mummy Taught Us 

This record is a lot more fun, I think  It's from 1964:

1. Dracula’s Deuce

2. Dracula’s Theme

3. Little Old Lady from Transylvania

4. Weird Wolf

5. Be True to Your Ghoul

6. Shake, Rattle and Rot

7. Monsterbilly Heaven

12. Coffin Nails

There's a little more --ahem -- "life" to this one, even though the groans thrown in from time to time sound a little too pained.

MA-77 - Monsters on Parade

            This year’s anthology of music for the Hallowe’en season features those lovable misfits … MONSTERS!  Our cover art features a line-up of many favorites.  The majority of the critters’ images came from various online coloring-book pages.

            However, the Leader of this Pack holds a special place in my heart and memory.  Yeah, that pile of garbage in the bottom right corner.  That isn’t just ANY pile of garbage, It’s The Heap!

            The Heap was featured in Mad #5, back when it was a full-color comic book.  The story, “Outer Sanctum!”, was written by Harvey Kurtzman, with art by the ever-lovin’ Bill Elder.  It’s as much a parody of EC horror comics as it is of the anthology radio show “The Inner Sanctum.”  Look up the entire story of “The Heap!” from its various (probably illegal) postings online.

            My encounter with Heap came about because my big brother had a copy of the 1959 Signet paperback The Bedside Mad.   “Outer Sanctum!” is the first story therein.  So thanks again to my big brother Robert for this part of my joyfully corrupted childhood.

            As an added bonus feature, the “I smell something stinky”-faced moon -- in the sky in the CD cover art --  is ALSO from this classic Mad tale of science gone wrong.

            Back to the present compilation.  Here’s our musical line-up:

01. The Monster Attacks (from "Creature from the Black Lagoon") - Dick Jacobs and His Orchestra - Bob McFadden, narrator (2:29)

02. Big Foot - Googie Rene (2:33)

03. King Kong - Tarantula Ghoul and Her Gravediggers (2:13)

04. Gwendolyn and the Werewolf - Hutch Davie and His Honky Tonkers (1:56)

05. Dracula - The Zane Brothers (3:02)

06. Dr  Jekyll and Mr  Hyde - The Who (2:38)

07. Don't Meet Mr  Frankenstein - Carlos Casal, Jr (2:16)

08. Monsters Are Coming - Jonathon Roberts (1:38)

09. (I Was a) Teenage Creature - Lord Luther and The Kingsmen (2:46)

10. Skunk Ape - Donny Lee (3:24)

11. My Mummy - Mel Cavin and the Kokonuts (2:28)

12. Dracula's Daughter - The Woggles (2:06)

If you’re familiar with some (or all) of these songs, forgive an old ghoul’s inability to dig up some fresh meat.  Look upon the selections as old friends … who came back from the dead … and smell like it ….
