Ghouls night out
“Monster Melodies” The Ideal Dance Party with Frankie Stein and his Ghouls Power Records There are at least six of these Frankie Stein sessions on Power, all with groovy covers. I’ll list them all eventually (see the “Monster” category). This looks like an illustration that might have graced the cover of Famous Monsters of Filmdom magazine. But this is done tongue in cheek with songs titles like “”Doctor Spook”, “In a Groovy Grave”, “All Choked Up” and “Dressed to Kill” all played in the dance styles of the day – the twist, frug, hully gully and mashed potato, etc. “The die-namic sound with the DEAD beat that has everything to make your dancing party a HOWLING success…”

You’re right, these records are really fun at Halloween parties or just for laughs. They get a little pricey on Ebay so if you want to save your bucks, try it yourself by playing two record players at the same time. For example, one player playing any twist record and the other playing a Halloween sound effect record. It’s really quite simple and fun to do. Better yet use a bedtime story record and that Halloween record for background. Kiddies will love it! 😉

Shoot, I think I just saw one of these for a quarter at a garage sale this last summer. My wife doesn’t like monsters so I passed on it. If I’d known I could sell it I would have picked it up. This is a really cool cover.

Great one! My friend had this one when we were kids – I was so jealous! (I guess I still am)
