I still have the "Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House"(the orange cover) and "Scary Spooky Stories" albums I bought as a kid in the early 1970's.
Great video , that Louise Huebner's lp was reissued a few years ago for of all things Rocktoberfrom Rhino records it came on color vinyl . The Vincent Price one looks cool, I just watched again Theater of blood nothing revenge like killing your critics. Happy Halloween .
Happy Halloween 🧛♂️ 🦇 Robert ! On Halloween 🎃 at Midnight my local store is opening at midnight to sell Songs Of A Lost World by The Cure. Took lots of planning with UMG to assure they would have stock ! I guess a UMG rep is coming by Halloween afternoon to make sure the boxes of Cure product are still safely sealed.
Coven claimed to be members of the Church of Satan. Incidentally, the lead singer of the band, the blonde woman (who is naked in the gatefold) is the only member of the group on "One Tin Soldier". She was hired as a session vocalist and Warner Bros. opted to release the record under the group's name instead of hers alone. Her name was Jinx Dawson. She died recently, I believe. Your video is very entertaining! Fun stuff!
I the Vincent Price and Coven albums. The Price album is interesting, but is a bit long, which gets old after a while. The Coven album to me sounds like a soundtrack to a cheesy 1960’s B horror film. Two I have you didn’t mention are Alfred Hitchcocks “Music To Be Murdered By”, same idea I guess as the one you showed. Lastly, apparently hard to find is “Elvira Presents Haunted Hits”. A double album (to match her double D’s?) of songs from the 1950’s thru the 80’s, some great stuff on that one.
Please make the section beginning at 7:29 a RU-vid short with no text description. I picture a serious headbanger buying the Satanic Mass album and being very indignant that it isn't some brütal death metal.
It's funny how the timeline of all of these releases about Satan and witchcraft is the same as the records in the big Jesus music movement (Jesus Christ Superstar, Spirit in the Sky, Godspell, Speak to the Sky, Larry Norman, etc.)
