Looking for Halloween sound effects

October 29, 2005 2:32 PM

Need spooky Halloween sound effects for party tonight. Help!

Last year I downloaded the MP3s described here but that sound archive was shut down 'cause of Katrina. Alas, my laptop with said MP3s is in the shop. Anyone have a copy or able to point me to alternative spooky sound effects to add to the mood of our party tonight??

I don't know if you've used emusic before but if you haven't, they have a 50 free songs trial and you can d/l all the sound effects from this album, for example. They even have a few freebies.

I can recommend two musical sources that you could probably find somewhere online. Einstürzende Neubauten's "Strategies Against Architecture" or anything by Throbbing Gristle should provide some unsettling cacophony. Also, Skinny Puppy's earlier works are full of creepy/campy horror film samples.

You could rip off music/sounds from Disney's Haunted Mansion from here.

Midnight Syndicate has great Halloween music. Too late to grab a CD, but you can download a few tracks here.
