Monster Mash was fun. I was a late teen. My band played it even not near Halloween. About as a crowd pleaser as Free Bird and Wipe Out.
But I do like a lot from Thriller.
Just wish I could dance even a little. I think, memory sucks these days, I learned a little of the mash.

[debm55]

124. Thank youTraildogbob.

But Halloween IS supposed to bring out creativity.

[debm55]

165. Everyone just stood their a stared , not knowing what to do.

[Martin Eden]

168. If the song was played in its entirety, that's a long awkward stare

No free spirit was brave enough to exhibit creative kinetic expression.

Searching my memory banks, I recall it being played at such an occasion at my school not far from Midway Airport in Chicago (actually a small unincorporated area named Central Stickney).

[debm55]

169. It was played in it's entirely; Finally , the girls were dancing like fireflies as they got into the song,
