Spooky Septober! A Pre-Halloween Bonus

Hey folks, sorry for the long delay... and what did I come back with? A Halloween mix already?!? This is a special mix that needs an explanation, done in point form...

- The file contains separate tracks as usual, plus the main all-in-one mix. The main mix is the first track. It contains all the bells & whistles (aka incidental cues, scores, narratives, silliness, etc), unlike the separate tracks. I've done this to appease the folks who prefer separate tracks as opposed to my intention. You can call this mix the best of both worlds 😀

- The last track/sound effect "The Most Terrifying Sound You've Ever Heard" (it's about 10 minutes long) is on the complete mix only, and not a separate track (so, I guess you don't get the complete best of both worlds after all 😀). Keep in mind that you may want to turn the volume down during playback. It's not like your typical haunted house theme but more like a constant white noise of whistles, screaming, etc, that increases in volume. I tell ya, if you want to scare the crap out of someone, it may work.

- All music from 50s & 60s, except one theme from the 70s. I may have added a partial theme/score from the 80s but don't recall. You'll have to listen to the complete mix to find out.

- The word Septober is not original, lol. I got it from a line in an awesome Paul Westerberg tune called 33rd of July. 

- Favorite tracks? All of 'em. Seriously, they need to be all good, imo of course. But, I'll name three - Alma Cogan's velvety "Mystery Street," Evans Carroll & The Tempos' "The Monster," and Don Hinson & The Rigamorticians' "Home in Castle East." Enjoy!

NOTE: The correct cat# is SPM-H10. The cover in file has the wrong cat#. You can delete it, and just copy the cover (with correct #) from this post.

    2. I do have a question for you. I've downloaded all of your Halloween comps (to my knowledge) and I seem to be missing SPM-H09. Is there an H09 and if so, where can I find the download link?

    3. Disregard... I found the Vic Mizzy link. Guess I just overlooked it.

    4. The cat. system for the Halloween mixes are a bit out of whack. To make a very long explanation short -- all Halloween mixes and series follow the same sequence, regardless for new series or not.

    5. And Scott - I'll eventually revise the earlier Halloween mixes (I think I've done just one). Thanks again!
