Default talking skeleton soundtrack

Well, thanks to Putrid, many of us have expanded our inventory with Buckys. Now, thanking Scary Terry in advance, I'm planning on making mine talk. Sometime last year on this forum there was a discussion regarding a "soundtrack" for a talking skeleton, but I can't seem to find it. Something along the lines of a cd of a skeleton talking, cracking bad jokes and whatever. Can someone direct me to this thread, or show me where I can get info on this, unless all this is imagined in my mind, which is not unlikely. If no such thing exists, I'll just make my own.

I too just bought a skeleton for $50 and followed scary terrys instructions to make mine talk. It appears the hard part is actually finding some good mp3s to make him talk. You cant have music in the background or it will just make his mouth move even when there is no talking. I have tried to find a reading of "the raven" by Edgar Allen Poe narrated by Basil Rathbone but cant find it in mp3 format. Here is a link for snippets of halloween talk that I have found: http://users.adelphia.net/~wrenn123/index.htm. I am looking for something extended. I have found a site that sells talking skulls and they sell cds for them. They are $15 but that is the best I could find thus far. Their website is http://www.hauntedcreations.com/talking_skull.html

Let me know if you find anything else. Thanks and hope this helps.

Thanks Kronax, it appears we're in the same boat. Iwent to haunter creations and tried listening to the samples, but for some reason, it doesn't recognize quicktime on my pc.

I found this site. The mp3 file is only 56kps but I thought it might be worth a try. The file is over 8 minutes long. Hope it helps

Thanks Larry, I found that site too, but it has a commercial at the very beginning of the mp3. I dont have the equipment to edit it out so that particular one I cant use.

Ok
I removed the commercial for you. If you need any more editing let me know. Also you can get a program called audicity from http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ it will allow you capture audio from your speakers and edit it to convert some thing to a mp3 you just have to link audicity to a dll file the program tells you how to do that.
Any way here is the The Raven commercial free.

I think you may be referring to a discussion about what my skellies should be doing from last season. I wound up coming up with a three minute routine for them in a poker-playing scenario.

I could dig out the CD of my skellie's "bad jokes while they play poker" and post the audio from that if you like. The jokes are horrible (IMO), and the dialog not so great, but the people who attended last year seemed to LOVE it.

Skellie 1 is on the left channel and skellie 2 is on the right.

Default Thanks

Larry

Thanks so much for editing out that commercial for me. I have been looking all over for that recording of the raven but have been unable to find it anywhere in a mp3 version. You made really made my day, I finally have the voice recording I wanted. It was really bumming me out that I was actually able to make the talking skeleton and then I wasn't able to have him speak what I liked. You da man!!!
