Fiendish fans and fangulous friends, Welcome to Weirdsville Radio - Halloween Weirdness All Year Long continues to spread its infection like a virulent case of the bubonic plague. Recent additions to the playlist are wrapping the station in a shroud of spooky atmospherics. Included:
Frankie Stein and His Ghouls - ALL FIVE of the infamous mid-60s albums of monster dance music mixed with horrorific sound effects.
Three more of Nox Arcana's Gothic inspired sound poems, including Necronomicon, Darklore Manor and Transylvania.
Goblin, the revered band that provided the soundtracks to Dario Argento's best films, makes a major appearance with selections from Suspiria, Tenebre, Profundo Rosso, Phenomina, Patrick, Wampyre, and more!
The underappreciated Ronald Stein, composer of multitudes of low budget horror film scores, bursts upon the scene with selections from The Haunted Palace, The Premature Burial, Last Woman on Earth, Spider Baby, Dementia 13 and others!
Ennio Morricone's haunting score to Exorcist II: The Heretic.
In a World's Hallow's Eve album.
Also, from the mid-60s, when albums of experimental electronic music could be marketed as kiddie Halloween albums, we have Gershon Kingsley's Ghostly Sounds and Music for Monsters, whose unfortunate theremin player's identity seems to have been lost to eternity.
From 1969 we have the beloved Poe Through a Glass Prism album of Edgar Allen Poe poetry set to psychedelic rock music.
From 1968, Coven's infamous Witchcraft Destroys Minds and Reaps Souls album.
More Zacherley, with some Shock Theater audio bits and his Dead Man's Ball album.
I don't know why, but Timothy Leary's crazy Tune In, Turn On, Drop Out album portraying a guided acid trip has always seemed Halloweenish to me- watch out, it'll sneak up on you!
Hell Yeah! we've got HorrorPops, with their Hell Yeah! album!
Listen carefully and you'll hear the strangest cover of Purple People Eater, by none other than Judy Garland!
All that, and much much more is waiting for you.... Just tune in IF YOU DARE!
