Default Best/Scariest Halloween Soundscapes?

What do you people here consider one of the best (and scariest) Halloween sounds cds/tapes ever released? Well mine has to go with this....

Images for No Artist - Sounds Of Halloween

and here is the sound bit of it...

Sounds Of Halloween by Sound Effects - Rhapsody Music

I actually have alot of memories with this CD and it actually used to scare the **** out of me when I was a child as it still does today since the sounds in this CD are authentically ominous as if something is coming towards you not to mention the 1960s/1970s horror atmosphere which further added the eerie atmosphere of this CD. Not to mention I used to look at the cover art of the CD you see above trying to use my imagination whats going on in this CD (which I for a long time actually mistaken that Pumpkin head skeleton's thumb at the right as a "Frankenstein Duck Monster" for a very long time until I noticed till recently). Ever since I haven't found one soundscape that was able to top this...

When I clicked the 1st link & saw the cover I thought it must suck... Then I heard the music and really liked it.. Has a nice old school suspense vibe to it.. Then came the cliché screams and it lost me. Some of the reversed stuff is cool, but overdone it can get corny. Also, I'm hearing some sfx that are distinctly Disney in there. ?

Anyway, I really dig the music but the sfx kinda ruin it for me.

That's my .02 cents.

After listening further...

Around 6:00 the ambient stuff is really good.. But I think the wolf howls are again kinda cliché... It's all great spooky Halloween fun though. I'm just a picky nerd. All in all the further I listen in to it the more I really dif the album. For it's age, it's quite good. Especially the music. Thanks or sharing.
