Okay- this might be a shot in the dark, but I figure it's worth a try because I've been frantically searching the net to no avail for this particular Halloween record we used to have around the house. One side was a ghost story dramatization and the other side was a compilation of scary sounds/ sound effects.
I remember that the LP that had some pretty great artwork on both sides- one side had three gruesome looking witches around a smoldering cauldron, and the other side depicted a haunted house in a rain storm with a single window illuminated on the top floor, open, with the curtain flapping out the window. The LP artwork also was colored with mostly black and green hues.
Does this ring a bell to anyone out there?

There are a couple of albums that popped into mind I saw in Amoeba Record store Halloween display last year- the one below seems to be a close match for what you're describing re: cover art & content.
Link also shows the back cover is three witches w/cauldron. LP content on back looks to be a match:
Halloween Horrors (Side 1)/The Sounds Of Halloween (Side 2)- 1977 LP

The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague.

They show up on ebay a lot in LP and Cassette forum.
I wish that some of these companies had put oot Halloween recordings on reel to reel. I just got a bunch of Christmas R2Rs, and they sound every bit as crystal clear as most CDs.

My pleasure, Skullfisher, glad to help you out. I'd never heard this album, but the cover artwork is outstanding- hard to forget it.
And big thanks of my own to pdcollins6092 for the download. Going to get to that right now!The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague.

Many of thes old Halloween LPs had awesome artwork. George Peed and Jack Davis are a couple of the standouts in that field.
