5.0 out of 5 stars Best Sounds of Halloween, September 13, 2001

In 1977, I was about four years old when this album came on record. My parents bought it for Halloween, I was spooked out of the chair. The story is great, and dozens of sounds. When I went into the cabinet I found the original record. I was amazed it still exists. The more amazing thing is that it is now on CD. I love it when old records are put on CD format. This is good to listen to all year long. Let Halloween remind you to play this awesome CD (record). This is definitely a must have. Give Horrors a try, if you got guts. Ha-Ha-Ha.

This review is from: Halloween Horrors (Audio CD)

My brother and I would listen to this in our basement while growing up. Our Mom was into anything scary so her having this album in the collection wasnt a surprise. I was born in '74, and I remember hearing this for the first time around 1980 I suppose. I'd say the last time we listened to it was around 1990(16 years ago). We got rid of the record player but where the record went, we never knew. We recently sold the house and it really bothered me how we were leaving without that one single record. I didnt remember the exact name of it so I didnt know where to start. How was I pointed in the right direction? Its quite amazing really. I was watching M*A*S*H the other night and one of the chopper pilots voice caught my attention. I watched the ending credits to see his real name was Michael Bell. I hopped on Google and there it was, Halloween Horrors. I literally got goose bumps when I found it. I tried about 5 years ago but like I said, I didnt know where to start. I just had my brother listen to it and needless to say, he was shocked I found it, and that it was on CD no less! He and his Fiance are listening to it right now. Hopefully when they have kids, they will sit them down so they can experience it as we did. Get this CD/Album, its a classic and knows No generation gaps. Your children will love it, and if you grew up with it is as my brother and I did, you owe it to yourself to get this for old times sake :) -Aaron-

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Halloween Album - And a Little Nostalgia, September 10, 2009

By 

Dang Lad (Encinitas, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Halloween Horrors (Audio CD)

This is a great Halloween album with the first side / track being a haunted house walk through and story and the second side being a wide range of high quality sound effects. As you can tell from a lot of these reviews, nostalgia plays a key part for most everyone who knows this album and I'm no different. I remember my brother and I putting this on and acting our the story in our living room and reacting to all the sounds effects and doing our own little movies. I was born in '84, so actually a little younger than most of the reviewers, but that just shows it's staying power. It's worth the money!
