New Halloween alert on Sucata Tapes! After last year’s Tempat Angker double whammy, the spooky season returns with another blast from the vaults. Total Spook’ is Luigi Monteanni tribute to the golden age of mass-market Halloween tapes and CDs — packed with eerie sound effects, haunted tales, and spine-tingling music straight out of the ’80s and ’90s.

Description

Total Spook’ mixtape is Luigi Monteanni’s homage to the forgotten cassette and CD culture of mass-distributed commercial Halloween sound effects, horror tales, and spooky music productions across the eighties and nineties.

Mainly produced in the U.S. these objects featured some of the famous names of the entertainment and commercial industry such as Prince’s Dr. Fink (yes, that synth master), Elvira, the Mistress of the Dark and Hallmark as well as unknown and anonymous creatives and artists. In these tracks engineers, musicians and producers arguably had carte blanche in experimenting with extreme samples and vocal manipulation, time-based effects, extended techniques, spooky sound fonts and stock sound effects developing their unique ideas around the sound ambience of the Halloween and horror imagery’s campy cliches.

After digging around 30 hours of material gathered from dedicated YouTube channels and playlists such as the ones created by ‘Beetlemuse’ and ‘Caleb Jones’, I have compiled a 100′ mixtape showcasing some of the most endearing, weird and experimental sound designs long forgotten in the vaporware-like consumer culture of the ’80s and ’90s.
