Halloween Sound Effects

Setting the right atmosphere is important for any holiday, but it is especially important for Halloween. Halloween decorations, costumes, and of course candy are what make a good Halloween party. Nonetheless, one of the most often neglected elements of the Halloween decorating is also one of the most important ones. Put on a tape of free Halloween sound effects and you’re guaranteed to get people into the spirit of the holiday. Without it, Halloween just won’t quite feel right.

There are plenty of different kinds of Halloween sound effects. If you are having trick-or-treaters come to your house, you should get the creaky door haunted house kind of sound effects tapes that are so popular with kids. No matter how many years go by, kids always love these. As little kids, they find the spooky noises to be genuinely terrifying. As teenagers, they think they are amusing but cool nonetheless. Even adults like them.

Then again, Halloween music can make a great alternative to Halloween sound effects. There are plenty of different kinds of Halloween music out there. One of the most popular kinds, of course, is the science fiction theremin dominated electronic Halloween sound effects music. Get a CD of music by the band Goblins, for example, or anything else that features prominently in the Italian horror films. Then again, classical or especially baroque music can often be quite appropriate on Halloween. Night on Bald Mountain is just one example of a composition that people associate with the holiday. I personally prefer the organ music of Bach. Passacaglia is especially creepy, although the Tocatta in Fugue has a certain timelessness when it comes to Halloween.

Sometimes, I like to mix up the different Halloween sound effects. I will start with a sound effects Halloween cd early on in the evening, Move on to some Italian horror music, and ends everything on a nice classical note with some organ concertos. You can also put things on randomizers, so that you never know what weird Halloween track is about to come on. Some people even like to use modern electronic music designed for Halloween. I have heard some pretty spooky rave music in my time which incorporates interviews with serial killers, old news reels, and sounds from horror movies. This can be a little bit scary for kids, so you should watch who you expose to it. There is always cute ghost music for younger listeners.
