The
skeleton of the popular 1980s scary music and eerie sound effects cassette tape,
“Halloween Horror,” is still not over the fact that his passion project over 35
years ago was never re-released on CD or iTunes, and he’s putting together a
revival tour that would team him up again with the witches, bats and black cats
that once, as he said, “created magic together.”
The
artist hopes the tour pushes him back into the limelight so that those
with the power will want to dig up his masterpiece on tape and finally transfer it to a digital
format where it belongs for home haunters to use as a spooky backdrop for
Halloweens to come.
“Look,
when I saw the first ‘Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House’ album on
iTunes, I was more than pleased,” the skeleton said. “I said, ‘Hey, the
industry is finally recognizing real talent.’ But when they didn’t follow up
with the release of the sequel to that album, which is far better in my
opinion, I knew it was the industry’s way of continuing to try to keep me down.
As the ghouls in this industry know, I was a part of that sequel album before I
went solo. These creeps just don’t want me to succeed.”
The
industry professionals in question weren’t given the opportunity to respond to
the skeleton’s allegations, but they can prove he’s wrong by making “Haunted
Horror” available on some kind of digital format, even CD, for crying out loud,
so we lovers don’t have to continue pulling chewed-up tape out of our tape
recorders that have long since been in need of retirement.
He gave us so many lasting Halloween memories. Let's figure out how we can return the favor and get his amazing 60-minute soundtrack to Halloween back out there. Who knows? Maybe the skeleton of "Haunted Horror" has another recording in him and all he needs is a little support from longtime fans to make this longtime goal of his a reality to give him the energy and drive to turn out more groundbreaking work.
