The Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House

Various Artists, “The Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House” (Disneyland, 1964)
Before Disney/Buena Vista/Hollywood Rec’s brought us hard-rocking platters like Lower East Side junkie-punk icons, the NY Loose’s “Year of the Rat,” or Hilary Duff’s emo-era works, this disc may have outdone them in the hyper-intensity sweepstakes. Side A is a tour-de-force of Disney’s scary-movie sound-effects, curated by a female voice that’s halfway between spooky-vampy late-night-TV-movie hostess Elvira and the Stepford-Wife intonations of an automated operator. B is the same f/x without the female voice (and not as good).
