Monster Raving Loony Party member violinist Dylan Bates in Abney Park Cemetary filming the Monster Mash video on 28 February 2015. The Monster Raving Loony Party’s tagline – “Vote for insanity: you know it makes sense”. The OMRLP party was founded in June 1962 by David Sutch, head of Scream Lord Sutch and the Savage, and stood in British parliamentary elections under various party names, mainly as the National Teenage Party candidate. At the time the minimum voting age was 21. In 1963, while he was a rock ‘n’ roll musician in a band called the Savages, he ran as a candidate for his National Teenage Party in the Stratford-upon-Avon by-election.
