These Ghoulish Things: Horror Hits For Halloween

CD-Charts > Music > Other
by: Various Artists

Release Date August 30, 2006
Mainly a collection of vintage rock'n'roll which Ace specialize in but this is a sub genre which had its roots in such as Screammin' Jay Hawkins and John Zacherle-whose Dinner With Drac is on one of the Golden Age series.
The real classic here is Bobby Boris Pickett's Monster Mash and the CD starts off with an airshot of Pickett's speaking voice.It topped the charts in 1962 and finally made it to the U K in 1974.
Informative sleeve notes tell you who all these mostly failed recording artists were and the title is brilliant

Halloween Party

CD-Charts > Music > Other
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 16, 2006
The description says "Various Artists" which I guess is true, but they are not Original Artists and most of the tracks sound like they are buy the same singer. If you can imagine the vampire in Sesame Street singing monster mash you wont be too far from what you are getting on this CD - I'm sure kids will love it not having heard the originals and the sound effects track is worth the purchase price on its own, just put that track on a loop and have the spooky screaming and noises playing in the background as your guests arrive

Scary Music

from: Telarc

Release Date November 05, 2007
pretty good halloween party CD featuring a fair few of the classic horror themes, especially great to hear pieces from Danny Elfmann and The Exorcist.

It's a good fun warm-up CD for a halloween party to create a fun horror atmosphere, but found it a little inconsistent qualitywise and the running order/choice of music was not always perfect and so didn't build an effective scary atmosphere - I find the CD 'Raw Fear' much better for actual genuinely scary creepy music which sends those shivers down your spine once the lights go down and the candles are lit in time for ghost stories, Trick Or Treat and Murder In The Dark!

Halloween Sound Effects

Release Date July 19, 2000
This type of cd is quite a specialist thing, there are not many people out there who want a disk full of sound effects unless they have specific use for them, i myself am a practising all be it amatueur musician (hopefully proffesional one day) so for me a very valuable tool. Most of the samples are good, although the alien type samples seem a little miss-placed for a collection of horror sound effects and really should'nt be in there at all. These sound effects for me will only come to life once woven into my very heavy metal music which will give the music a new level of horror and ambience
