Welcome to all of my Digital Trick-or-Treaters

Have you come to my graveyard looking for treats?
Well, my grave robbing little friend, you have come to the right place. September, 2010, Gravecast is giving away new sound effects! Why September? So that you will have them in your greedy little hands to use the whole season!
All of the sounds will be yours to keep. Use it in your haunt, use it in your yard, or just fill up your ipod and creep out while sitting along in the darkness. Links will be posted here or you can use our new RSS feed to have the sounds sent right to you. Who knows, we might send along an extra treat here and there for those wanting to get fed. This is just our way to try to help make your Halloween just a little darker.
I would love to hear from you. Join me on my blog at ShadowsofHalloween.com

2010 Treat Countdown!

Treat #17 - Alien World

The eeire wind blows on this desolate, sand swept alien planet.
Alien World

Treat #18 - Childhood Nightmares

You sit up in bed. The shadows of your dreams lie just out of reach as you fight to figure out how much of the nightmares were dreams and how much are real. Your heart races. Your ears search the darkness. Did something just move at the foot of your bed?
Childhood Nightmares

Treat #19 - Graveyard Noise with Voices

This is the same noise as Treat number 20 only with random shouts added to catch people's attention.
Graveyard Noise with Voices

Treat #20 - Graveyard Noise

People walking around through the leaves, graves being dug, and other strange noises to help give your graveyard a little "life".
Graveyard Noise

Treat #21 - Shocking

This is a different, newer version of my High Voltage mix.
Shocking

Treat #22 - Gravetalk

This is for my own yard haunt this year. I will have a couple of speakers behind some tombstones. For my haunt, I plan to space the comments out to about 3 per minute. With almost 40 different sayings, that will mean that someone can be in the graveyard for over 10 minutes and not hear the same thing twice. I will have some quiet sound effects mixed in for my graveyard but this is just the voice part for those of you who might find them useful. This is also just one big file with brief quiet time between sayings. I hope find some use for them.

Treat #23 - The Boiler Room

Need some background noise for Freddy's hangout? Do you have a Steam Punk area that could use some non-descript industrial noise? Give this a try.
the Boiler Room

Treat #24 - Full Moon

Darkness gives way as a lunar glow is cast down upon the open landscape. You begin to feel the fever as your eyes are drawn upward into the star filled sky. Your eyes lock upon the brightness of the moon. The light causes intense pain in your eyes, yet you cannot look away. The pain spreads into every part of your very soul. The pain consumes you. Your body begins to shake as the transformation begins. Your humanity burns away as the beast takes over. All rational thoughts leave you. Everything that made you human is gone.
After the pain has ended, you rise onto your powerful hind legs and once again look up at the sky. The only thought that consumes your animalistic mind is your thirst for the hunt. The full moon calls.
Full Moon

Treat #25 - Electronic Voice Phenomena

Talking with the dead.
Remember those old Halloween LPs you used to get with sound effects and ghost stories? Some of you might and some of you might be too young to remember. I used to sit in my dark bedroom and play those things all the time. They are one of the main reasons I got into Halloween sound effects in the first place. Many of the stories were cheesy, some were silly, and some would send a chill up and down my spine. I loved them all.
Much like the zombie sound I gave you earlier, this one is a tribute to those fun times. Here is a brief little audio story I call EVP.
Electronic Voice Phenomena

Treat #27 and 26 - Crime Scene Investigation

City version and Rural version.
Draw a chalk outline, toss around some blood, and add one of these sounds for that warm and cozy Murder Scene feel. Background noise, police radios, people coming and going... One theme, two versions.
Crime Scene Soundscape - Rural Location
Crime Scene Soundscape - City Location

Treat #28 - Experimental Sound# 2 - The Alien Jungle

Number 2 in my Experimental Sound Series.Treat #28 - TheAlien Jungle.
You listen to the strange sounds of creatures hidden deep in the lush jungle. From the chirps of odd, deadly insects to the distant rumbles of some gigantic monster headed this way, you make your way deep into a world of the unknown.
Experimental Sound #2 - Alien Jungle

Treat #29 - Experimental Sound#1 - The Harmonica

This is the first in my Experimental Sound Series. I wanted to take one sound and transform it into something that could be used in a Haunt environment. Each of my Experimental Sounds will be one sound mixed to death. Experiment # 1 was simply a few notes played on a harmonica. After I killed this sound and ripped its flesh from its bones, I then zapped it with my computer to give it new life.
I could see this odd sound being used in a dark hallway, background noise for a lab or any place else you see fit to use it. Use those dark imaginations. Experimental Sound #1 - Harmonica

Treat #30 - Z

Hard to believe it has only been 4 months since the nightmare started. Seems like it has been years. I never thought it could really happen. I never thought it could happen so fast.
I think I have everything I need. I shouldn't have to make any more trips outside for a few months. I like it out here in the woods. Out here, their numbers are manageable. The cities have too many of the things crawling around. Besides, the few people that are left alive are worse than the damn zombies. At least the monsters have an excuse.
Like those cheap ass movie zombies, the creatures are drawn by sound. Good thing is, if you stay quiet for a moment or two, they soon forget what they heard and move on. It's the fresh zombies you have to watch out for. The newbies are fast, strong as hell, and will hunt you for hours. I noticed that the older ones are slowing down. Maybe they will degenerate enough that they will die out after a good winter or at least slow down enough to make moving around safer. Who knows. Just have to wait and see.
The snows will be here soon and that should really slow them down. My last trip in town, I found enough lumber and ammo to make this cabin a fortress. Once I finish getting things secure, then maybe I can actually get some sleep. I miss sleep. Who knows, I might have time to read a book or something. It will be nice to be bored for a change. Oh well. Time to get busy. I have to get the rest of these boards nailed up...
Z is for Zombie

Here are some of our older Sound Effects and Sound Scapes!

FunHouse Reflections
It has been years since that night at the Circus. The sounds of that night still haunt me. Every night I walk out to that empty field, every night I hear the echoes in my mind...

BodyBags
Imagine a room filled with bags of hanging flesh. You can hear them swinging on the ropes, the flies feasting on the bloated bodies, and hidden behind the bags...something seems to be watching you.

Buggz
In the dark hallway, you hear them...you feel them, flying about, crawling around, you know they surround you. You dare not reach out to find your way of the darkness...who knows what you might touch.

Dead Kidz
He dressed as a clown. So happy. So deadly. Stalking, hunting, killing. Now the spirits of those innocent children reach out...pleading for help...asking for answers.

The Swampy Graveyard
The night grows darker as you enter the graveyard. The spirits of those long thought dead are restless. Watch your step. Quicksand could make your stay last much longer than you planned. You should not have come here. Not tonight.

High Voltage
Something has gone wrong in the generator room and you alone must find your way through the complex to fix the problem. Be careful, one wrong touch and it will be "lights out".

Seance
You feel it...yes...someone is there. Can you hear us? Can you make contact? Wait...this is not the spirit I was seeking! Who are you? What evil have I found?

Swamp
The insects eat you alive as you try to escape the swamp. You must find your way out. It knows you have entered the swamp...and it is getting closer.

Part of the Creepy Little Dead Girl series...Part of the same series found on Rotting Flesh Radio's Dark Pandemonium CD.

Special Thanks to my friend Suzanne Soo for her fantastic vocal talent!

Boingo the Klown
Imagine feeling your way through the maze of darkness. You know he is in here with you. How can you tell if he is coming when you have all of that noise? ( I sampled everything but the kitchen sink for this odd ball track. It was all for you B.)

Halloween (AkaShadow mix).mp3
My first remix from oh so long ago... A guy has to start somewhere.

Hallo78remix.mp3
Another try at the classic theme with bits of other Halloween tracks mixed in.

Theme for Kromwell's Graveyard.
My alter ego needed a theme song for his imaginary TV show.

Scary Movies (AkaShadow Remix).mp3
Another mix from oh so many years ago. Be kind.

X-files (AkaShadow remix).mp3
I made this well before the first movie. Sunday nights were never the same without you Mulder. You know...I kinda like this one, even if it isn't the best.
