{titolo: Monster Mash}
{autori: Bobby "Boris" Pickett e Leonard Capizzi}
{tonalità: Accordo di SOL}
(effetti particolari: porta che cigola, bollicine d'acqua, batteria iniziale).

Struttura della canzone: Introduzione della batteria in quattro battute, dopo il rumore dello strisciare della porta e del suono delle bollicine d'acqua.

Notare l'importanza del coro che svolge una parte significativa, quasi a sostituire il primo canto. Innovativo il cantautorale. Molto originale anche il finale con fraseggi/smorfiati. Goliardia creativa di quel periodo.
