Mention the words, "Monster Mash," and I know you can hear that 1962 song playing by the famous Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers... (7" record label image, Garpax Records) (Click photos for full size.)

TODAY'S PROMPT: Monster Mash
I decided to invite a few "old" friends from the blog and around to join the party.
Let's see who showed up....
I'd like to introduce you first to Mrs. Skellie. She usually chaperones most of the shindigs and makes sure the monsters don't overdo it on the punch! (Skellie lady by me. www.cverstraete.com)
Speaking of punch... What's a party without punch? (Be careful now; I heard this one has a real wicked kick! By Patricia Paul via my past blog. Artisan Patricia Paul makes a variety of "creepily" delectable things to eat and drink, perfect for that monstrous bash-mash! (Sign up for her newsletter at her website for some freebies. And be sure to visit her gallery while you're there!)
*** For an even bigger kick, check out an eerie Halloween story by author friend Jean Rabe: The Ascension of Mary Grace. With spooky miniatures, too.
Someone's knocking at the door... Who is it?
It's turning into quite a party! Thank goodness, Mrs. Skellie got that lazy server to pass around some more drinks and snacks. Still, she says we can't fire her. It's so hard to dig up good help these days! (haa!) Wine by me and snacks by me, www.cverstraete.com.)
Ok, that's enough for now. Gotta go see what the other guests are up to.
(You can find past Halloween in Miniature links here and on the top banner or type Halloween in Miniature into the search box in left column for a pot-luck tour!)
Hope you enjoyed today's mini-party! Thanks for coming by! Oh, don't forget your parting gift: a mini version of the famous record album for your collection! (Wikipedia image; mini album made by me, not for sale; personal use only.)
Interesting side-note: Wikipedia claims a favorite singer/songwriter/pianist, Leon Russell, played on Monster Mash. (I had no idea!) Though there is no mention on his biography page that I found, it's worth a look for all the contributions he made to the music industry. He played and recorded with just about everyone, even some I didn't realize.
