And Now the Monster Mash Gets a Gory, Violent Reboot

With the upcoming release of "The Town that Dreaded Sundown," the movie industry will have officially finished its 15 year performance art project of rebooting every horror movie made between 1976 and 1987. Of course, the next step is to go full "Amazing Spider-man" and start remaking more recent movies like Cabin Fever, but YouTube comedy group "Key of Awesome" went further in the past and rebooted Bobby "Boris" Pickett's Monster Mash, a song that hearkens back to the good old days when monsters just wanted to have a good time, do the Transylvania Twist, and maybe chase Abbott and Costello around. Of course, a party involving today's monsters involves Leatherface, the Human Centipede and that puppet on a tricycle from Saw, so it's not quite as wholesome. Frankenstein is appropriately appalled.
