Thread: The Sounds of Halloween

Tweet

I was going through, and organizing my tapes today, and I found out I have this 1986 Hallmark "The Sounds Of Halloween" tape. I think I got it in a lot set of Halloween tapes one time on ebay. Side 1 says "Scary sound effects...and more!", and Side 2 has "Ghostbusters," "Monster Mash," "Thriller," "Purple People Eater," and "Bach-Toccata and Fugues in D-Minor."

Here's a scan of the liner of the cassette I have:

THATS IT! Thats the exact same one I have! Isn't it great? I think personally it has the best sound effects I have ever heard on it. They were very well done and not cheesy.

Oh my god I had that tape for YEARS! I used to play it in my car when I was a teenager until I let my friend barrow it to transfer to CD and he FREAKING LOST it!

Its a shame I don't have it now ;/ in the studio I could transfer it to CD and clean up all that tape static as well. It'd live forever.

If anyone has a copy they'd loan me I'd be happy to make disks for everyone. ANything to hear it again!

I can clean it up here on my end also. To be honest with you Creepy Kitty I have never listened to the tape. As I say I got it in a lot set with another tape I wanted, and I just now found it in a box full of tapes. I just now got around to putting it up in my tape rack. I'll give it a listen today, and see how I can clean it up.

Just began listening to it.

"My....what an ugly costume"...."Didn't the other kids tell you not to come here! Go back, go back...back...back....." ... "Abandon all hope all ye who enter....".

Sounds like it would be great for the entrance to a Haunt. Not bad for Hallmark.

You should so transfer it to mp3 (:

I will do that soon.

Yeah its the best tape and I wish I had it on CD or Mp3 I am afriad to play it anymore because the tape is so old it might come apart. I used to listen to it every Halloween and it would just put me in a trance the whole time I listened to it. Just makes me even more excited about Halloween!

I'll work on getting it made into mp3 files. The copy I have looks brand new. Whoever had it must not have played it much at all.

I have this already converted to a digital format (listening to it right now on ipod ), but can't seem to post mp3s. Any suggestions?

I use 250free.com. They give you 250 MB of free storage as long as you post the music on a web page (anything simple will do). I have a paid account though so I can use it for simple music strage. I also found an account at Dream Host that has 20GB of storage. It is about $120. a year, but with a Promo Code the first year is only $20.00. 20 GB of stoarge is tremendous. Any way once you have the mp3 stored in a server like that you can share it with anyone. Even if you just have the mp3 stored on your own PC you can share a file of up to 100 MB with YouSendIt.com.
