Thread: Funeral Home Organ Music

Tweet

I was watching the show "If Walls Could Talk" today, and one of th homes they featured was an ex-Funeral Home. The new owners found a 78 rpm box full of records of nothing but slow, spooky sounding organ music. Does anyone have any of thes they can share?

Look up Organ music by Bach. He did a lot of organ music since a church was his main patron.

Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by Bach is the one I think most people are familiar with in relation to Halloween.

Music For Dead Things is the CD we used in 2006 for our haunt walk through, "Mephisto & Sons Funeral Parlor". Definitely some creepy organ, piano, & harpsichord music- it even includes a couple of screams & moans:

I actually like the links from that link better!

Phantom of the Organ/Vampyre of the Harpsichord.

I dig that one!

This one is pretty awesome too! John Carradine reading Poe!!! Halloween Spooktacular/Poe with Pipes

And lastly, Flowers of Evil.

Oh yeah, those links are very cool, RCIAG. Music For Dead Things just seemed to suit the overall effect we were going for in our '06 walk through. It kind of alternates between somber & frenzied- definitely unnerving playing in the background while the TOTs & their folks were led around the funeral parlor's viewing room, morgue, & embalming rooms!

We actually used Flowers Of Evil & Gore Galore's Sanitarium when we did a Zombie Graveyard theme in '09-turned out to be a really creepy combo!

It's nothing I've ever really used but I dig all of those. I had fun listening to 'em all. And DL 'em if you want 'em, one of those listed is available in CD format but it's $50!!

50 bucks?!?! At that price it'd better be both really rare AND made out of solid gold, fergawdsakes. DL is always the way to go anyway- convenient, fast, & cheap.

I found this link for one of the albums:
