WACKY WEDNESDAY: Doomed Children of the Monster Mash

Boo!

Halloween fell on Wacky Wednesday this year.

I've already written about my undying -- or undead -- love for Dickie Goodman's "Frankenstein Meets The Beatles." Here's another Dickie monster classic.


Skipping ahead to the early '90s, here's some candy corn from M.C. Hammer
