Hi,
ÊÊÊÊÊÊ If you liked "A Haunting We Will Go-Go" from "The Gastly Ones", be sure to
pick up the two albums by the Bomboras' : "Head Shrinking Fun" and "It Came
>From Pier 13". Both of these are also available on the same record label as
the Gastly One's CD. Zombie a Go-Go Records. This is the label that Rob Zombie
started up last year. You can't miss with any of 'em!

Hey gang,
I just finished putting together a web site where you can visit to
download some Gargoyle Wing SFX I edited together from my SFX library,
(actually, they may be better suited for Dragon's wings, but you get the
picture).
Go to :
http://tinpan.fortunecity.com/anthrax/44/Gargoyle.html
Do a save as (Mac users, press option and click on the link--Pc'ers, not
sure how you do that, right click or something?) Drag the file to your
MP3 player, (if you don't have one, get one now at MP3.com, really cool,
tiny files, sounds great).
I'm new to writing HTML, so if it doesn't work, lemme know and I"ll get
it straightened out, but I think you'll like the SFX.

Digitally remastered Soundtrack on CD from the Movie (One of Fulci's best
flicks rent it now!!) which contains some haunting tracks along with dialog
from the movie that would work great with endless loops tapes or digital
recorders and ECT, mat switches yadda yaddaa...
For you folks in Pittsburgh you can find the book at Incredible Strange

In the interest of accuracy, what you're looking for, in all =

BWV 565. There are any number of versions of this outstanding composition =

An orchestral version is readily available on the "Fantasia" soundtrack. =

Carlos.
Other eerie music that might also work while being less noticable at =

(especially the last movement, "Dream of the Witches' Sabbath") and "Thou =
Art The Rock" by Henri Mulet (which can be found on the CD "Virgil Fox =

for the most authentic-sounding version of "Symphonie Fantastique," try to =

Sue,
Have you ever seent his movie before? She actually
does the song that runs in the credits on stage in the
movie as a real spell to put all the townspeole under
her power and punish them for hanging the sisters 300
yrs before. If i remember correctly , Keeba has the 2
songs from the movie on her site . I think that is
where I downloaded them from. If you are looking for
the soundtrack...goodluck...... i have never been able
to find one for this movie. Im not sure they even made
one. The only 2 songs really in the movie are the
spell one and the come little children one that Sarah
sings in the beginning of the movie. Anyway I agree
that this is a great movie, and for all ages!

Subject: Terror Syndicate Dark Soundscapes CD
From:
Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2001 23:36:53 -0700
I received my Terror Syndicate Dark Soundscapes CD today.
It has 13 tracks totaling over 26 minutes of "soundscapes". Of course, th=
is
is the term that Steve uses. And I don't know how else to describe them.
They are certainly not "sound effects". Each track is its own "illusion"
created by a skillful blend of tones, voices and sounds.
I won't be the one to compare the Terror Syndicate Dark Soundscapes CD to=
the Haunt Master Terror Tones CD in terms of their relative effectiveness=
..
They are certainly "different" and MAYBE they are intended to serve a dif=
ferent
purpose.
I would categorize most of the tracks on the Terror Tones CD (version 1)
as largely pounding, pulsating, low-frequency tones.
I'd categorize the tracks on the Dark Soundscapes CD as being far more "c=
omplex".
The tracks on the Dark Soundscapes CD certainly have more of a "theme".
Some of the tracks have a hint of running water. One track involves thund=
er.
Several tracks include what I'd describe as the Jurasic Park T-rex footst=
eps
(you know the ones that left ripples in the puddles). One track involves
what could have been the moans of a chanting monk. One track involves the=
digitized growl of a wild cat. But none of the tracks are JUST running wa=
ter
or JUST thunder or JUST footsteps. Again, each track combines several ton=
es
and sounds to paint a certain picture in your mind and create a certain
feeling.
It's next to impossible to describe the soundscapes with words. You can
get a sample of similar tracks from The Terror Syndicate MPEG Video Clips=
,
http://terrorsyndicate.com/videofiles.htm
These samples don't do the CD justice, but they will give you a feel for
what constitutes a Dark Soundscape.

Subject: Haunt CD suggestions (LONG)
From: "Mr. Gore"
Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2001 07:39:02 -0500
What I have discover is you can't or shouldn't really compare any CDs. =
They
usually are all something unique in and of themselves. Most have a =
specific
focus or intent. They are made to draw a specific emotion or feeling, but =
it
is always hard to say one is better than the other.
I have yet to hear the Hauntmasters CD, but I have heard the Hedstrom CDs
(Great by the way), Midnight syndicate (Great also), Pumkinland CDs (Also
great).
These are all different enough that you shouldn't compare. If you like =
good
background music for your haunt or home you should buy them all. You =
should
not make a decision to exclude one or another based on good or bad because
you would be making a mistake.
The only one I have heard that I thought was bad was the "Brutal PLanet =
CD"
The reason I thought is was bad because it has 13 very bad pop music =
tracks
on it, but it has about 20 very good effects tracks on it that are still
worth the purchase. So it is still worth having.
I am interested to hear:
Terror Syndicate CD
Mr. Graves CDs
I guess what I am saying is it is a good thing to get all the haunt CDs =
you
can find just so you have them to add variety to your show unless they =
have
a very bad reputaion. Then they probably are really bad.
Just a rant!
