Remember this classic Halloween album from years ago? Well, unless you're a hard-core audiophile who still owns a turntable, you ain't gonna hear it 'cause it still hasn't been released on CD.
***Breaking News!***
Chilling Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House has just been made available on iTunes as an mp3 download! This album doesn't contain any music, but it does present a great collection of Halloween sounds. Many grandparents and parents will remember this record from the mid-'60s and the early '70s, when it was re-released.
The sound effects were culled from Disney's vaults, and include creaks, groans, screams, and screeches from short animated films and Disney park rides. Side one of the original album was narrated by Laura Olsher, and side two was pretty much the sounds from side one without the narration. Watch out, though: the track "Chinese Water Torture" contains potentially embarrassing, politically incorrect "Asian" dialogue.
Here's Haunted Dimensions' super overview of the history of the album. Spooky, silly, and hair-raising fun!

I've been sampling it for my instrumental hip-hop album, Sound on Safari. Tell Steamboat we said Happy Halloween. Love, Thy Bullpen
That is some lame "breaking news." You know what might be lamer? Well nothing, that is how lame it is.
