Description
Autumn, Halloween, strange figures and an old, apparently uninhabited house where things are not quite right, a real house of horrors, uncomfortable, draughty and not at all inviting. Unless ... you can count on loud support from hard-boiled rockers and guys like Screamin' Jay Hawkins with his classics Little Demon and I Put A Spell On You, or Bo Diddley with Bo Meets The Monster and the entire orchestra of Henry Mancini with Spook. If that's not scary enough for you, we recommend Merv Griffin with The House Of Horrors, Big Bee Kornegay with At The House Of Frankenstein, The Swingin' Phillies with Frankenstein's Party, Frankie Stein & The Ghouls with Knives And Lovers, Sharkey Todd with The Horror Show and Count Stephens with Spooky. Among the strongest supporters are I'm The Wolfman by Round Robin, Mad Witch by Dave Gardner, the Calvanes with Horror Pictures and finally Zombi by the Monotones!
Casey Jones & The Governors may also enter with their demented interpretation of Screaming Lord Sutch's Jack The Ripper.
The spook factor is high with chain rattling, indefinable noises, grunts and gurgles and bone-chilling screams.
Only for the very brave: off to the 'House of Horror' for about an hour. We wish you a wonderfully scary time.
