The lyrics of the popular Halloween song "Monster Mash" provide the textual backdrop for Catrow's illustrative dance. Groovy, be-bopping monsters rock out on instruments and get down doing the "graveyard smash." Propelled by the silly, fun-loving ghouls, the colorful illustrations in a wash of teal, pink, and purple add just enough goofiness and goriness to entice young trick-or-treaters.
