Halloween Sound Effects

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!
