Recorded in a few hours. and the labels turned it down, radio played some of the self-released copies of the song and the calls came in.

Elvis hated the song. Or at least he said he did.

Little known fact: Bobby Boris Pickett was a NYC cab driver during the early 1970s after the royalties ran dry. But suddenly the song charted again in 1973 and Bobby was back in the money. He would do (mostly cheesy) Halloween shows for the rest of his life.

Pickett had another holiday hit called "Monster's Holiday" which was basically Monster Mash done Christmas style.
