One of the brightest events in the history of the Chiller Theatre Expo took place that stormy October 2006 weekend when Bobby ‘Boris” Pickett took the concert stage with The Dead Elvi and Chiller’s favorite son — Zacherle, the Cool Ghoul. None in The Elvi knew at the time that Bobby was very ill. But like the trouper he was, he proceeded to blast out one of his best performances ever…if not his best… of his Halloween classic “The Monster Mash!”
Zach, who had covered this tune some 40 plus years earlier, let Bobby do his thing and take center stage. None of us on stage knew that this great performance would be Bobby’s last live concert in front of a live ( mmmm…that’s questionable ) audience! It was a night to remember — not only for The Dead Elvi, but for all who attended this now legendary performance!!
