R.I.P. Mister Monster Mash

I've collected monster dolls and figurines for years. My favorite is a battery-operated dancing fellow with eyes that light up. He shakes his hips, churns his fists, and dances to the music. "He does the mash -- he does the Monster Mash." Now I read that Bobby Pickett, creator of the Monster Mash, has died at the untimely age of 65. Too much hanging out among the grey-skinned, I guess. He had his own website, still up and running even after its master has died.
