My old stand-by scary sounds from "Halloween Hysteria" (K-Tel) and "100 Greatest Sound Effects: The Ultimate Collection" were mixed
with Frog Chorus, Cry Of The Loon, and Emily and Marjie improv (recorded back in the 90's - NOT available in stores!).
We also heard the Twilight Zone theme song, and the theme from Psycho.
And my buddy Mark "Sunnyboy" Mason urged you (in a very smarmy and creepy fashion) to be his friend (also recorded way back in the previous century).
