Thread: Calling all Halloween Music Experts!

Tweet

Hello! I need your help people, if you are willing to lend me your time.

When I was living at home with my parents, we used to run a little haunted house of sorts during halloween, and they had bought a couple of music CDs for ambience for the event. There is one in particular that I can only recall vaguely, but I do remember it was VERY good and I'd love to find it again somewhere. I don't know the name of it or much else except for this:

It was one long track (I'm fairly certain, anyway) and I think the CD had artwork that was black and dark purple. The music was very chilling ambience with a lot of creepy synth work, not much orchestral instrumentation from what I recall, and there were plenty of sound effects in the composition as well.

I know it's not much to go on but if anyone knows of a source that lists lots of halloween music albums I could probably pick it out from the CD artwork, I hope.

Thanks!

Midnight Syndicate's Official Site hope this might help.

Ah, it's not them. I looked through all of their albums earlier and while they are pretty nice unfortunately not what I'm looking for. I won't give up on trying to find this album though, it is very cool.

Was it Tubular Bells?

No, not that. I am quite familiar with that work... Nah this was an album that was marketed and created specifically as a "Halloween soundtrack" of sorts.

Try going here and here and see if any of those album covers strike a bell.

The cd you refer to sounds like the one I'm looking at right now. I believe it came on a blister card, so there is no cover. The cd label is purple with black drawings of a haunted house and skulls. It plays just one track that runs about 45 minutes. It starts out with some sinister music and peals of thunder. There are some spooky laughs and screams later on. It is a very good background cd for Halloween.

I looked online, but I can't find it. If I see it, I'll post back.

Is it maybe called "Its under the stairs"? That had a blueish/purply cover and some synth work mixed with sfx..

If so, it's actually been discontinued, but some of the tracks on it found their way onto the new release called TEEMING. Check out departedstudios.com. Heres the link: Welcome to Departed Studios - Halloween Music, Scary Haunt Sound Effects FX CDs

Good luck in your search.
