Saturday 9 is a Monster Mash!!

Monster Mash

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: Monster Mash (1962)

Unfamiliar with this week's featured song? Hear it here.

1) In your younger days, did you ever trick or treat while dressed as a monster or ghoul?  I don't remember dressing up as a monster or ghoul.  Actually, I don't really remember any of my costumes.  Not very memorable I guess.

2) Do you enjoy being frightened by celluloid boys-gone-bad, like Michael Myers (Halloween) or Jason (Friday the 13th)? No.  I have never watched those movies and don't believe I ever will.  Give me Hitchcock or the old black and white Chiller Theater style movies any day.  No blood or guts and SO scary!

3) When you were a kid, did you ever TP a neighbor's house or indulge in any other Halloween acts of vandalism? (Don't worry, the statute of limitations is up.)  Several of us TP'd our band director's house one Halloween.

4) Will you be attending any Halloween parties this year? If so, will you dress up?  No Halloween parties and I don't dress up anymore.

5) Can you see any Halloween decorations as you answer these 9 questions?  Just these little guys....

6) While Halloween is most popular in the United States and Canada, and isn't really celebrated at all in Japan or South Korea. How would you explain our Halloween customs to a visitor from another land?  Fun for kiddos and a chance for adults to pretend they are someone else.  I would send them to Wikipedia since I don't really understand it myself.

7) "Monster Mash" is one of Halloween's most played songs. Are you happy to hear it every year? Or does it set your teeth on edge?  Haha.  I enjoy hearing it and actually know most all of the words to sing along.  There is a dance that goes with it too.  If you were a teen in the 60s, you probably know how to do it!

8) This week's featured artist, Bobby "Boris" Pickett, started as a stand-up comedian who incorporated his imitations of Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi into his act. Can you impersonate anyone?  No, I can't.  It would be fun though!

9) Dick Clark was an impossibly young looking 33 in this week's featured clip. Are you often told you look good for your age?  I've been told I look younger than my nearly 66 years.  Now that my hair is 'natural' (not colored) that doesn't happen often anymore.
