The Original Monster Mash is an album by Bobby (Boris) Pickett and The Crypt-Kickers. It was recorded and released in late 1962, following the success of Pickett's "Monster Mash" single. The Cryptkickers included Leon Russell and Gary Paxton.
The album's somewhat unwieldy title arose from the need to distinguish it in the marketplace from an album by John Zacherle on the rival Cameo-Parkway label, titled Monster Mash and featuring Zacherle's cover version of the song.
