This isn't music as much as it is sound effects.

Three years ago I created a piece of software that would play random sound effects endlessly until you stop the program. I used it for my own haunt and for the past three Halloweens it has worked perfectly. In fact, it's the one thing about my haunts that I didn't have any complaints about.

It is set up for my own particular haunt, but it can be customized (there is a readme file that should walk you through it). My haunt uses two speakers; a large one on the right (where all of the thunder gets panned to) and a smaller one to the left by the door. If that doesn't work for you, you can easily tweak with each and every one of the sounds. Also, there is a convenient little "Reverse Stereo" checkbox which will simply flip the pan settings, so sounds that would normally go to the right would go to the left, and so on.

The download is about 50 MB. That's about 1 MB for the program, and 49 MB of mp3s.

It is available at the following address:

I am currently working on a new version that will incorporate surround sound, allowing you to pan the settings across 5 different speakers.

Let me know what you guys think. There was another post asking what people listen to when they are building props. Well, this is it for me. I just fire up my Halloween Sound Machine and listen away.

That is way cool. Thanks for the download..

Thanks. That's very cool of you.

Glad you like it. Feel free to make suggestions on what I can do to improve it. Also, if anyone has any cool sounds they would like to contribute, I can always make a new version with new sounds bundled with it.

Here is a link to download the alternate version that I created for my indoor haunt. It's about twice the size as the first and sounds more like you are inside a haunted house. The original version was more for outdoor haunts.

No problem! Let me know what you think and how I can improve it. Like I said, I'm working on a new version that should incorporate surround sound.

Whether or not it will be ready in time for Halloween 2009 or 2010 is another thing altogether.

Nice work again. Thanks.
