In 1986, the good folks at The Haunted House Music Company released a follow up to their previous album, "Haunted House", entitled "The Ride of the Headless Horseman".
As the record begins, an ominous narrator tells the tale of Ichabod Crane and his fateful night at Sleepy Hollow. This is actually a very good recording, and the producers took advantage of every single track in their library of sounds. We've heard Washington Irving's classic tale countless times over the years, but it never gets old - for me, at least - and I throughly enjoyed the version that is provided for us on this album.
As with many albums of this sort, the rest of the record is solely devoted to individual creepy sounds, with a few playfully sinister music tracks to round it out. "The Ride of the Headless Horseman" is now out of print, but you can find it on eBay and Amazon.com in used and new conditions.
I recommend it! Once again, I have to thank Greg for this find! Thanks, Greg!
