Sure, you have the Vincent Price “Thriller” monologue and Boris Karloff once covered “Monster Mash,” but it’s important to never forget that Robert Englund has rapped as Freddy Kruger. And the original Jason Vorhees plays in a Jason-themed horror punk band called First Jason.

There’s no disputing “Monster Mash” as the granddaddy of goofy horror songs. Bobby Pickett’s 1962 hit has been covered by everyone from the Misfits to Mannheim Steamroller, plus OG Frankenstein’s monster Boris Karloff.

But it took MTV and the rise of TV’s all-powerful teen demographic to really kick start embarrassing musical tie-ins from horror cinema. Watch the latest episode of AUX’s new show This Exists above.
