This moneygrubbing offering is from Holly Music.

Part of the wondrous oddity of this selection is the fact that each sound-effects track begins with a solemn announcement of the effect you are going to hear.  I'm sure this was done to add another minute or two to the total running time.

And several of the fx, like screams and the cat yowls, are lifted direct from Disney's Thrilling, Chilling Sounds of the Haunted House.

Altogether a disgustingly pedestrian affair.  Have fun!
