Boris Karloff actually singing "Monster Mash' on SHINDIG (1965)

For years, the only surviving kinescope of the Octpber 30, 1965 Halloween episode of the rock music show SHINDIG with guests Boris Karloff and Ted Cassidy was missing the finale where Boris actually sings (well, recites) a verse from "The Monster Mash". Well, some collector has finally coughed it up on Youtube, albeit having to greedily put a really crappy watermark on it that would have made Al Detlaff jealous.

In any event, here it is :

and here's the rest of the episode if you want to see and hear Boris do "The Peppermint Twist":

Happy Halloween.
