Free Music Notes for Martha Stewart Living: Spooky Scary Sounds For Halloween
Free Music Review: Could've, Should've Been Much Better
Hit: 3 Stars
This 40 minute CD is a single track with various witch cackles, laughs, owls, clock tickings and heartbeats. The sounds are original and not ripped from other sources, and they are good.The sound mixing is also well done. But what you get is the same 5 minutes looped over and over and over again. If this CD makes you feel like you're walking in a dark forest alone, you must be
walking in circles. Make that *small circles*. Given the price of about ..., you'd expect a lot more.
Another problem with the CD is that some sections have thumping heartbeats for 30 seconds (not in ... sound sample). If you play this on a boombox it will sound awful. Don't buy this CD unless you plan to put it on a full home stereo with big woofers.
Since trick-or-treaters will only be passing by for a moment or
two, this CD is adequate for most home Halloween needs. But given
the stiff price and what else exists out there, it is not a good
value.
Free Music Review: Is it scary?
Hit: 3 Stars
The first question anyone buying a Haloween sound effects CD needs to ask is "Is it scary?" With this CD the answer is - well sorta. If you play this CD on a continous loop at your front door on Haloween, you'll create a creepy atmosphere, but nothing that will startle or scare anyone over 5. I was hoping for a bit of originality from Martha, but there's nothing presented here that you haven't heard many times over on countless other sound effects CDs. It would have been better if in additoin to the 45 minute sound effects track there was a second track with more of a story element. That way you could play it at parties as well. But as it stands, it's only good for playing at your front door on Halloween.Free Music Review: Good enough for the goblins

I'm an avid collector of Hallowe'en sound-effect/music CDs, and while this one has its flaws, it's one of my favorites to play during my family's annual Hallowe'en bonfire/cook-out. The sounds, while a bit repetitive, are high-quality and just creepy enough without being too unsettling for our more sensitive guests. Good background for reading ghost stories!Free Music Review: great creepy sounds

its a very good halloween cd for background sounds. my cd was scratched thought so it skips a TON.Free Music Review: Bit of a Martha let-down, really...
Hit: 2 Stars
I'm a fan of Martha, and I *love* Halloween music. When I heard she made a halloween album it was "get out the credit card and call Amazon" time. But this album was a disappointment--I'm going to assume Martha didn't actually design this, but just signed off on it, to maintain my faith in her. The sound quality is good--very crisp recording of ambient halloween noise. It's fine for background music for the trick-or-treaters. But for any other use it's flawed. There's only a single, album-length track, so no putting this one on "shuffle" for your Halloween party. The sounds repeat, so after 20 minutes of this, you start getting deja vu. And there aren't even "themes" in the album--no plots, which some of the more elaborate halloween SFX albums have (this is the "torture chamber piece," this is "Alone by gaslight stalked by Jack the Ripper..."
I'm going to wait for an apology from Martha on this one.
