Countdown to Halloween 2024 (Week 5)!

Hard to believe, but here we are again at another Halloween already! Let's wrap this up just in time for the festivities:

Haunted House (Italy, 1985) This is another of those records that is one side hellscape, and the other side individual sound effects that are divided up.  It's very well done.  I recently pulled this one out of a dusty box at a Game Exchange, and the Treat turned into a Trick when I removed the record to find deep, very feelable scratches all over both sides, done maliciously with some sort of garden tool.  I cried to the heavens: "WHY?!!!?!?!!"

Tales To Dream By (Weirdo, 1962) This is another great one, apparently an amateur production, but done extremely well.  It sort of purports to be a radio show, almost, as it has openings and closings, but presents four tales that are very spooky, especially alone in the dark.  Very expensive record if you can ever find one (and you won't)!

Thrillers & Chillers (Troll, 1973) Another in the extremely fun series of great Troll stories.  Can you handle yet another rendition of "The Tell-Tale Heart"? Also the old "Monkey's Paw" chestnut, and it goes from there. Well done with familiar voices that you will recognize from vintage commercials and other places!

Happy Halloween!
