Spoopy

Spoopy is the debut extended play (EP) by American drag performer Sharon Needles, released through Producer Entertainment Group on October 11, 2019.

The music video for "Monster Mash", released on the same day, features an appearance by drag performer Alaska Thunderfuck, Sharon Needles' ex-partner.

Sharon Needles has said, "'The 'Monster Mash' is not only an iconic, nostalgic, and classic halloween rock n' roll jam, but it speaks to the child in everyone that loved knocking on a door or hitting a doorbell and saying the sweet words of 'trick or treat.

[7][8][9] The music video for "Monster Mash", also released on October 11, was directed by Brad Hammer, with Aurora Sexton serving as art director.

"[5] Alaska Thunderfuck's appearance in the video was inspired by her portrayal of Bette Davis in a spoof of the 1962 film What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

Sharon Needles considers Alaska's involvement an Easter egg, explaining, "If you remember, at the end of Baby Jane, Bette Davis drags Joan Crawford to the beach and orders two strawberry ice creams.

"[5] Entertainment Weekly's Joey Nolfi said the video has an "odd (yet satisfying) mix of old Hollywood aesthetics (from crafting an Annette Funicello-themed beach fantasy to dressing hunky bodies with classic Universal monster masks)".

[5] Mike Wass of Idolator said the video sees Sharon Needles "doing her ghoulish thing at the beach", flirting with "ripped, speedo-wearing monsters" and impersonating Pamela Anderson's "iconic ... slow motion, boob-heaving run" as the fictional character C. J. Parker on the television series Baywatch.

[10] Cook continued, stating that Sharon Needles "completely shreds" "Highway to Hell", calling her performance "a strong and welcome departure for this always daring artist".

Entertainment said the EP sees Sharon Needles "putting her black-fingernailed touch on creepy-crawly classics" and called the collection "the perfect campy soundtrack for any Halloween lip-sync contest".
