Blast From Halloween Past

December 28th, 2009 by John Wolfe

I found another blast from my Halloween past on YT today. User, DragonFlyEnt recently uploaded the 1970′s commercial for “Goofy Gold.” When I begged my parents to buy this 8-track off of the television spot, my version also contained horror sounds — all the typical stuff you would expect to hear playing during a yard haunt. It was quite the combination; novelty songs, interspersed with “sounds of terror.”

While I absolutely remember a version of this commercial, the above spot seems to be the predecessor to my Halloween copy of Goofy Gold. I wish I still had that 8-track, but I’m sure it eventually got tossed. It’s little wonder, considering I listened to that album every morning before school for weeks at a time. It probably fell apart.

Nosferatu

One of the most well-known scenes from the 1922 film, Nosferatu has been given a score update by Yt user, McrawfishMac. While I have seen this particular scene many times, until today, I had never actually watched the entire movie. After viewing the classic film in its entirety, I am partial to the new and improved “soundtrack” featured in this six minute clip.

It’s my opinion that no matter how hard Hollywood tries, despite all its current special effects technology, it will never create a vampire as freaky or imposing as Nosferatu. If you’re interested in watching the entire film (with an older musical score), you can do so via this player:
