Troll Records – Great Ghost Stories – 1973
GHOST STORIES

Figured I may as well complete the cycle here. “Great Ghost Stories” is the 3rd Troll Records ghost story releases from 1973 … at least the 3rd that I’m reviewing.

“The Mysterious Shipwreck” is a bit long, and I doubt many young children could follow it. “The Golden Arm” is, of course, similar to “The Leg of Gold” featured on Vincent Price’s “A Graveyard of Ghost Tales” as well as the folk tale “The Hairy Toe”. “The Guitar Player” isn’t all that scary. “Here We Go!” is even less scary, but maybe kids would enjoy it.

The same narrators, the same cheesy music, and the same sound effects are featured here as on the other Troll ghost story albums. But this time, the stories just don’t measure up.

Halloweiner knows you want it anyway.
