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.
- Prepare yourselves for horror: Bear Family Records guides you through a visit to the House of Horrors!
- Creaking floorboards, squeaking door hinges, cobwebs, dust and indefinable noises ... and we add to the horror with an R'n'R and R&B soundtrack bursting with Halloween smashes.
- The jam-packed CD scares with I'm The Wolfmanby Round Robin, Mad Witchby Dave Gardner, Horror Picturesby the Calvanes and the horror doo-wop par excellence, Zombiby the Monotones!
- Plus familiar songs like Little Demonand I Put A Spell On You(Screamin' Jay Hawkins), Henry Mancini's Spook, Bo Meets The Monsterby Bo Diddley, and lesser known ones like Merv Griffin (The House Of Horrors), Big Bee Kornegay with At The House Of Frankenstein, The Swingin' Phillies and Frankenstein's Party, Frankie Stein & The Ghouls with their killer instrumental Knives And Lovers, and so on and so forth.
- 'Spooky' liner notes by Roland 'Heinrich' Rumtreiber in the illustrated booklet and originals carefully remastered for this CD album round off the album for foggy, stormy autumn evenings!
