Halloween Sounds, Videos & Clips

Halloween sounds are a big part of the holiday fun, and you should not overlook the sense of hearing when decorating for your party or rigging up the scariest house in the neighborhood for the trick-or-treaters.

Halloween sound effects should include sounds of things that go bump in the night, screams of helpless victims, songs of monsters, flying bat wings, and spooky howls. Such scary sounds can add the right frightening touch to any scene - whether it is your charity's haunted house fundraiser or your own front yard that awaits the pounding feet of little tykes dressed up in all their finery.

There are a few different ways you can accumulate some creepy and fun Halloween sounds to your life this holiday.

A first option to have Halloween sounds ready on time for your scary party, is to head to your local supermarket, Halloween costume store or party supplier and get some pre-recorded CD which include the most popular Halloween songs, DVDs of the best Halloween clips and/or Halloween movies or CDs including the most frightening Halloween sound effects ever.

While these pre-recorded Halloween sounds supports are available for a very affordable price, they may include Halloween songs, clips or sounds that you don't like or don't want to be seen by some guests. This might imply that you'll have to sort all tracks out and create new playlists on your computer. Therefore, it's up to you to make decision on what you plan to do with those materials.

A second option for getting Halloween sounds as well as clips would be to record your own voice and sounds; which would add a very personal touch to the ambiance.

In order to create a CD including your own Halloween sound effects, you just need a recorder that you probably already have in your computer. If your computer doesn't come with a voice recorder, then, I suggest to get one from the store.

Once you have your recording material ready, gather the family and ask them to talk, sing, scream, in order to create your Halloween sounds. Although it might take some time to find the right scary and creepy sounds, this excellent family activity will allow you to create your very own and personal collection of Halloween-ish sounds.

With such an option, you won't just have to scream or make loud, as you can also use a music background, tell some Halloween stories and having your family members participate to the elaboration of your very special Halloween treat. On Halloween eve, just let the CD play for the greatest pleasure of your guests.

A third option to get Halloween sounds, Halloween clips, music and videos would be to use your high tech computer and create a few Halloween sound effect playlists right from the comfort of your home. In order to do this, you'll just have to browse the Internet.

Running a search on one of the major search engines will allow you to find hundreds of different websites that provide people with free videos and Halloween sounds that you can download and burn onto a CD or a DVD. Most of these websites, which offer legal Halloween sound effects, music and video download require a very small enter fee and you can get as many files as you want.

Depending on your hi-fi materials, you can choose to play your music CD or if you have a big plasma or LCD television at home you can play some Halloween video clips. Michael Jackson's famous "Thriller", Marilyn Manson's "This is Halloween" and Cradle of Filth's "Ghost in the Fog" can make excellent creepy Halloween video clips to play at your Halloween party.

As you can see, there are many possibilities to plan a really spooky Halloween party with some carefully selected Halloween sound effects, songs, movies and video clips.

I would just suggest to not play Marilyn Manson clips if you host a Grease Halloween party as it might hurt and shock your guests. Instead, Halloween sound effects would perfectly fit with any Scooby Doo or Addams Family Halloween party.
