 Track One is an audio excerpt from the Great One hisself, Dr Mazeppa Pompazoidi.  Track Ten is a fine reworking of a song about lonely people.  Track 17, from Monster High, takes the Halloween tradition onward.  Track 28 is a fine little piece that's only w teeny bit scary.  The final track is the theme song for OKC's own Count Gregore.


Thanks for sharing this Spooky Spock-Tober with us!

Horror Sounds of the Night

This cassette was sold on a blister card.  I did some work and created CD art after dubbing.
Both sides of the cassette are identical, but I recorded each of them anyway as Track One and Track Two.

I've seen references to this as having been released in 1974 or 1986.  Here is the Discogs page for it.

CD Creepies

This thrift-store find was unusual in its packaging.  The image you see above was folded and inserted into the CD case.  As you can tell, it has been trimmed on the left side.  This piece looks like the topper of a small countertop display that would hold the CDs for sale.

The label says it's "3-in-1 audio fun!"  That's because there's a block of stock music which is mostly effective; a group of sound effects; and a "Monster Story" at the end.

The track groupings break down this way:



1)  Contata and Fugue     
2)  Frenzy #1
3)  Torment  
4)  Psycho
5)  Private Lab  
6)  The Unexpected
7)  Night on Bald Mountain
8)  Angel of Death
9)  The Devil Rides    
10)  Lucifer's Choir
11)  Troubled Voices
12)  Sinister Street
13)  Spinecharge
14)  Omen
15)  Marked Man
16)  Sleeper Awaits
  time 33:25

17)  Thunder and Rain
18)  Bats Flying in Cave
19)  Electric Lab
20)  Mad Man Laugh
21)  Witch's Laugh
