Halloween
Sounds
I can't think of anything better to listen to on Halloween
than CHILLING THRILLING SOUNDS OF THE HAUNTED HOUSE. I had
this record when I was a kid, and "love" is not
a strong enough word to describe my feelings for it.
CTSOTHH
was the epitome of the cheap sound fx albums that came out
during the 60s and 70s. Thing was, these sounds weren't cheap.
No sir, you wouldn't find one cat sound that sounded like
it emanated from a human being. These sounds were straight
from the Disney effects archives, and they were absolutely
otherworldly.
I
used to sit in the dark and listen to this record until I
was scared out of my wits and had to turn it off. I'd take
a break with a little of the moog crack-fest that is "Ghostly
Sounds", then give CTSOTHH another try. If you've never
heard this record, it's high time you gave it a try. It can
be found online at FORBIDDEN
CRYPTS.
Also
be sure to
check out the SCAR
STUFF BLOG. A very generous, haunted soul named
Jason has decided to make many of my ghoulish dreams come
true by posting his entire collection of 60s and 70s Halloween
albums for the world to download. Stop by and check it out,
but be careful. The spirits of Halloweens past lurk in those
wondrous sounds, and are likely to get downloaded too.
