In Memoriam, 2007: DeCarlo and Pickett

You are one of those people who enjoyed hearing "Monster Mash" air at Halloween, or enjoyed his "Star Dreck" played on the Dr. Demento show. And you're one of those people who grew up with "The Munsters", and were fond of it. For you, like me, this was a hard year: Bobby Pickett and Yvonne DeCarlo both died, and Baby Boomers and early Gen-Xers lost two pop-culture figures regarded with great affection.


This tribute image above of Bobby Pickett was created by my friend, artist George Chastain. Below is Pickett in his last years:


Here's a striking image of Yvonne DeCarlo, which can be seen in a large gallery of other beautiful Yvonne DeCarlo photos at the Skylighters site:
