Beyond Purple People Eater
It never ceases to amaze me how many horror-themed retro novelty songs are out there. Today Boingboing posted a link to a very cool blog hosted at drmysterian.com called The Essential Ghoul’s Record Shelf, which features mp3s and write ups of obscure and wacky monster tracks, such as the groovier than groovy “Dracula’s Daughter” from Screaming Lord Such, the loopy “My Werewolf Mama” by Lenny Bruce, and the pervy, sax-ified “Morgus the Magnificent,” courtesy legendary horror host Morgus, recorded as by “Morgue and the Ghouls.” The accompanying text about the songs is excellent, as well, with plenty of historical info and background on the artists.
Here’s the list of songs posted thus far.
Mr. Dragomir, are you reading this?

I used to be a regular visitor, but unfortunately, it hasn’t been updated in over a year. Don’t miss the Morgus track or the Arch Hall Jr. wig-out “Konga Joe” from his flick The Choppers.
