Format:Audio CD
This type of cd is quite a specialist thing, there are not many people out there who want a disk full of sound effects unless they have specific use for them, i myself am a practising all be it amatueur musician (hopefully proffesional one day) so for me a very valuable tool. Most of the samples are good, although the alien type samples seem a little miss-placed for a collection of horror sound effects and really should'nt be in there at all. These sound effects for me will only come to life once woven into my very heavy metal music which will give the music a new level of horror and ambience

Awful
7 Nov 2001
Format:Audio CD
I have bought about 10 CDs for Halloween; and this one
sadly rates as one of the worst. Quality recording and
editing is about the only good thing I can say about it.
The tracks of people laughing sound forced and artificial; the
spirits sound like a couple of junior-high schoolers.
The tracks of screams are just screams, without any force or
fear in them.
The vast majority of the tracks are very short, even less than 5 seconds, don't offer anything especially spooky, and the CD is virtually useless to play for trick-or-treaters on Halloween. It would have been far better if the creators used their talents to make several collages of scary sounds grouped according to various themes. Several years ago, you'd have to make do with something as mediocre as this. But these days there are lots of other Halloween CD alternatives. If you want real satisfaction,
skip this waste of money and go for one of those alternatives.

Bad Halloween Effects
31 Oct 2004
Format:Audio CD
I purchased this CD and I was ripped off. The sounds on the CD are pathetic. They are of poor quality, with one person standing in a sound booth. I could have made a better recording with my tape recorder and mic myself.
I was looking for a CD to compile a string of sounds for my Haunted house. Now I have to find another means of getting these sounds. DON'T BUY THIS CD. You will not get your moneys worth.

A good sound effects CD
3 Jan 2004
Format:Audio CD
If you are looking for individual sound effects, this is a good CD to buy. It is not designed to be played in its entirety for trick-or-treaters. Rather, you should use it to record individual tracks for other uses. When used in this manner, it is an excellent CD. The tracks are seperated by blank space so it is easy to select individual sounds. There is a good range of sounds, from spoken words ("Welcome to my house"), to classic Halloween sounds, to futuristic sounds.
I use this in my front yard by recording individual sounds on a cassette tape, seperated by 30 seconds of silence. Walk through my yard and you will hear a witch cackle, wolf howl, and evil laughs every so often.
It's true that some of the sound effects are not realistic or scary (wolves howling, spirits moaning). They are more 'theatrical' than realistic. Still, for the price and purpose, this is a good sound effects CD.
