Pickett didn't mind (monster) mashing up his source material, as even though he was impersonating Karloff, his narrator is actually Dr Frankenstein rather than the creature, and Lorre never actually played Igor when he was in his run of Roger Corman-directed horror flicks.Īnd that Karloff accent? "Although we had the same theatrical agent I never met the great man but I am in touch with his daughter Sarah and she told me that he loved the record but didn't think it sounded a bit like him," Pickett admitted. In the song, Pickett also impersonates Karloff's great rival Bela Lugosi as Count Dracula, as well as fellow horror legend Peter Lorre as Igor. Most of 'Monster Mash' was narrated in the voice of Boris Karloff, who played the monster in Frankenstein in 1931 (and again in Bride of Frankenstein and Son of Frankenstein), as well as Imhotep in 1932's version of The Mummy
