The Good Times Goose Bumps Motel
Acclaimed Horror Scribe Loves Judy's Scariest Song!

Where can you "party like you're still alive?" Judy Pancoast fans know that's "The Good Times Goose Bumps Motel," the subject of one of Judy's most popular tunes. Traditionally one of Judy's most requested songs in October, the tune about a hotel-motel populated with dancing ghoulies and ghosties recently caught the attention of acclaimed horror writer Rick Hautala, an expert on "scary things":

"Like me, you may be tired of "Monster-mashing" every Hallowe'en, looking for a new "Thriller" ... I now have a new favorite Spooky Holiday tune--Judy Pancoast's THE GOOD TIMES GOOSE BUMPS MOTEL. You can't help but get up and boogie when you hear this song--and laugh at some of the funny lyrics ... It puts a whole new meaning into the expression: 'Bop 'till you drop.' "

Hautala is the best-selling author of over 20 novels and countless short stories, including the international bestseller NIGHT STONE, as well as GHOST LIGHT, DEAD VOICES, IMPULSE and COLD WHISPER. He has had over 50 short stories published in national and international anthologies and magazines, including his own collection of short stories, BEDBUGS. He can be found online at www.rickhautala.com

First featured on Judy's CD ARE WE THERE YET,"The Good Times Goose Bumps Motel" is set to have a burst in popularity come the fall, as the same holiday decorating enthusiasts who made "The House on Christmas Street" a cult hit begin featuring "The Good Times Goose Bumps Motel" in their Halloween decorating displays around the world. A preview of one of the ways "The Good Times Goose Bumps Motel" will be used in home Halloween decorations in 2009 can be seen in this YouTube video, created by one of Judy's fans.

So this fall, keep your eyes peeled and your best listening ears on, because "The Good Times Goose Bumps Motel" could be coming to your neighborhood. Then you can "party like you're still alive" too!

Elvis Expert Loves Judy's Elvis Tribute

Who would have thought that one day Judy Pancoast would have something in common with Elvis Presley?

Well, it turns out that Jay Gordon, internationally recognized authority on the music and life of Elvis Presley and the host of the syndicated radio program Elvis Only, is also a Judy Pancoast fan.

Upon hearing Judy's song "A Little Bit of Elvis," Gordon said, “Judy Pancoast captures more than a “little bit” of the spirit of Elvis in “A Little Bit of Elvis.” It appeals to kids of all ages.”

Gordon has reported and commented on Elvis events for TV, radio and print outlets worldwide, and contributed to several books about The King. He has worked closely with Graceland on events, and narrated the hit DVD, "Welcome Home Elvis."

Gordon commended Judy for her efforts to educate children about Elvis through her music. She wrote the tribute song upon realizing that many of today's children are growing up not knowing about the impact he made on American music and music worldwide.

"He's not only an important figure in music history, but he's an important figure in American history as well. I always tell kids that when the Beatles first came to the US, one of the first people they wanted to meet was Elvis. He truly is still the King of Rock and Roll."

"A Little Bit of Elvis" is included on Judy's CD The Tune Room and may be downloaded as a single or part of the album on iTunes, Rhapsody, eMusic and many other digital download services.
