Wow Ted! Great post! It's a keeper!
I was going to mention the Frank E Stein thing. Satan's Pilgrims
thanked them "wherever they are" in your liner notes. Then the
Nebulas must have went out, inspired by you, and dug up the Frank E
Stein "Bodies Under The Bridge" and covered it...they also thanked
Satan's Pilgrim's "wherever they are" or something along those lines
too.
Let me also comment on:

Ted we are the same age! Yes, I also had several of those monster
model kits when I was a kid growing up in the 70's. I had forgotten
about that. In fact, I put together my first one, and then promptly
found it too scary, so I had to hide it in a dresser drawer until a
few years passed..ha-ha..

No, please don't... ;-)
I am guessing, Jacob, that just about every few years, some
executive at a record label says "we need to put out a novelty
record for Halloween". When this happened in the 60's, during the
surf boom, POW! You had a lethal combination of surf music and
monsters. And then you throw in the hot rod angle as Ted suggested.
A winning combination in my book.
I'd also like to hear Rick Mill's take on horror surf...as he is/was
in several horror themed bands: 3-D Invisibles and Zombie Surfers.
