Halloween is quickly approaching and if you're like me you're either decorated OR you'll soon be decorating your house for Halloween night. I enjoy decking my house out even though I don't get many kids up my steep hill. One of the most important parts of creating the atmos-fear is sound. Years ago my Mother-in-law told me that the kids that did come to my house asked her how she could stay in such a scary place. The music is what led them to believe the place was so scary. I didn't have too many props out, but I did have my Pumpkinland music blaring out of every window.
Put some time into creating the right atmos-fear not only with your decorations, but with SOUND.
If you are in need - guess what? I've GOT what you need. Have a listen - it doesn't cost anything and you can download the music fast and easy.
Pumpkinland is the original "hauntscape" I recorded back in 1999 for my first home haunt
Pumpkinland II followed in 2000 and was recorded due to the incredible success I had with the original "hauntscape".
Pumpkinland III was recorded in 2001 and was recorded to complete the trilogy.
Each Pumpkinland Halloween "Hauntscape" can be downloaded for $10 each. Money well spent.
Check 'em out!

If it's not too late (and if it is, save them for next year): There are actually studio versions of the themes from "Dark Shadows" by Robert Cobert and "The X Files" by Mark Snow out there if you want some eerie instrumentals. And Ambient-Mixer.com has a whole bunch of free-to-use ambient soundscapes in the "horror" / Halloween category.
