RIDE

BORN
OF THE NIGHT, REALM OF SHADOWS, GATES OF DELIRIUM and VAMPYRE. |
BORN
OF THE NIGHT, released in 1998 contains 21 masterful gothic treats. As
you take the journey through the haunted maze of sound Midnight
Syndicate weaves, this CD will instantly transport you to a
haunted gothic castle. Incredible dark orchestrations and creepy sound
effects, |
|
REALM
OF SHADOWS, released in 2000 also contains 21 tracks that, as their
website says, "casts the listener into the ruins of a mysterious
village that was thought to be desolate... until now". Set in
the same world as BORN OF THE NIGHT, REALM OF SHADOWS is another
haunting journey into gothic perfection. They create the music and
mood, your create the world around it. Listen to this broadcast
the next time you have to make a big decision! It just might do the
trick, or creep you out...or both! |

Michael
Hedstrom's Midnight Circus CD is a dark, creepy and whimsical ride under
the Big Top. Eleven tracks of EXACTLY what you'd want for your
Circus or Sideshow themed haunt/event or for any spooky occasion. Has a
certain "CARNIVAL OF SOULS" feel to it. "The
Tunnel of Fun" is simply terrifying! |
|
Michael
Hedstrom's Clive Manor CD beautifully mixes sound samples with music to
create an excellent gothic Halloween CD. As this disc weaves a
horrific story of a trip to Clive Manor, you find yourself transported
into a forest, a haunted hidden passage, a spooky dungeon, and the Manor
itself. Each of the twelve tracks masterfully concocted by Michael help
create the soundtrack that can only lead you to the doors of... |

Frank
Petruccelli's music from (and inspired by) the infamous Kevin McCurdy's
Haunted Mansion is an excellent 31 track romp into Ravenscroft Manor,
one of Kevin's haunted adventures. The first 16 tracks will
lead you through the Manor. The remaining 15 tracks are
instrumental versions of previous tracks. |
|
Frank
Petruccelli's Music To Die For is 16 tracks of haunted fun and
imagination. Filled with an array of spooky themes, there's bound
to be something on this CD for any creepy taste. With a great
"soundtrack" feel to it, Music To Die For is a great addition
to any creepy collection! |
|
Frank
Petruccelli does it again with the Kevin McCurdy's Haunted Mansion 25
Years of Fears CD. This 13 track release features "Haunted
Halls", "Watery Grave", "Fallen Angel" and
"The Graveyard Shift" plus nine other incredible tracks.
Symphonic film score style tracks with haunting melodies and eerie
effects. The intensity of Frank's scoring prowess is evident in
each of these masterful pieces and is a welcome addition to any haunt
music collection. Highly recommended! |

Dave
Stroud and DZX Studios present 13 Tracks From A Demented Mind. This CD
is quite twisted! It contains sound effects and music designed for
continuous looping play. Many of the tracks contain dark
storylines and dark humor with titles such as "Dr. PAINE,
D.D.S.","The Swarm" and "Under The Full Moon".
My favorite of the 13 tracks include "An Asylum" and
"Eternal Unrest" which are perfect for haunt environments.
Some of these tracks are a little too intense for younger listeners. Be
warned! |
|
Garet Holcomb and Antonio Gonzalez Jr. present DARK MATTER. This CD contains tracks mainly suited for your alien or space craft scenes or to just listen to for some dark "blissing out". The CD leaves you with the uneasy feeling of being completely lost in space, but not alone. The dynamic range on this CD is so SCARY that it can damage your stereo system or speakers if you're not careful. Included on this 5 track CD is a speaker test to assist checking speaker levels prior to diving into deep space. |

RustyKnife
presents DARKNESS, Soundscapes for your haunt. This 7 track disc runs
48:52 and contains tracks titled Monsters, Cathedral, Nighty-Night,
Weirdo, Storm, The Creeps and Chorus. This is what I consider to
be an A+ haunt CD. Cathedral is one track that I can't seem to get
enough of...I just keep playing it over and over and over again. A VERY
dark and enjoyable listen. Exactly what I like to listen to...year
round! |
|
RustyKnife presents Organum, Grim Organworks for your haunt. This 8 track disc runs 61:22 and contains tracks titled Dirge, Spectre's Ball, Baroque, Dismay, Lost Love, Hypnoticus, Miserie and Madman. If you're looking for a spooky organ based haunt disc, this is one you should consider. I get lots of emails from folks looking for a CD that has pipe organ tracks, well...here it is! Very Disneyesque and a bit churchy, Organum is the perfect CD for that Grim Organist prop you've built and the great thing is, it isn't the typical classical organ tracks you get tired of hearing every Halloween. |
|
RustyKnife presents Organum Effectus, Grim Orgranworks and Sounds for your haunt. This 8 track disc runs 62:22. Organum Effectus contains creepy sound effects along with the pipe organ tracks from Organum. Same cool pipe organ tracks only spookier with the added horror sound effectus...um...effects. Another triumphant release by Jason Reese and RustyKnife. |
|
Scoring genius Billy Mallery presents Haunted World. This 36 track disc seamlessly transitions from track to track and runs 60:15. Haunted World contains deep dark sound effects at atmospherics that are demonically prehistoric. This is by far one of the best NEW Halloween CDs I've heard - an ambient masterpiece! |
