Halloween Sound Effects
Filed in: Halloween

Halloween is a great time. What other holiday would
allow you to take a creepy sound effects CD, some
fake spiderwebs made out of cotton, and fake ghosts
made of tissue paper, and turn it into a party? A lot
of it is cheesy, but no one minds. You see, Halloween
is a tradition. It is a holiday that everyone
remembers, because it would thrill and frighten them
as children. Kids get candy, get to dress up, and get
to stay up late after bedtime. But most of all, they
get to play games of imagination. They can pretend
that the ghosts and ghouls really are out on
Halloween!
That's why I have always loved to use Halloween
sound effects to make my house creepier. A lot of
people take a Halloween sound effects CD, put it on
loop, and just leave it playing there. I guess this
establishes the right mood, and most of the Halloween
sound effects CDs are pretty funny, but it really is
not enough for me. I like to go the extra mile and
create a really creepy effect. That's why I have all
my Halloween sound effects linked to booby-traps.
You see, I always set my house up in the same way, year after year. I will have a few jack-o'-lanterns in the window, but other than that my house will look pretty dark. The porch light will be on, so trick-or-treaters will come up to the door, but they will not be completely sure if anyone is inside. When they approach the door, they break an infrared beam that triggers a hidden Halloween sound effect tape. There will be silence for a moment, but just as they are getting ready to go, the Halloween sound effects will kick in. They will hear spooky moaning behind them, turn around, and see me jumping out in my Halloween costume. I will be dressed up as an ax wielding psychopath. It works every time. They run for a block!
My wife tried to talk me out of using my Halloween sound effects tape. She said it was cruel and unfair to the kids. I couldn't agree less. Kids love a fright. That is what Halloween is all about. When they hear the Halloween sound effects playing and then I jump out at them, it probably gives them a thrill that they will remember for years to come. I don't feel bad for that!
