YES! i use to jam out to this tape so much as a child that one day my older brother and i got into an argument about it and he proceeds to slam the cassette to the floor and stomp on it completely shattering it. A few days later my parents made him buy me a new one but we never found another copy. Every year after that during the Halloween seasons we would search every store we knew but never found this specific tape. I even remember thinking that Michael Jackson's Thriller was the "Dumb" version of that melody and that the "Halloween Tape" was the "Real" and "Better" version. Sure there were other good "Spooky Sounds" and "Haunted House" cassettes that i enjoyed blasting in my Walkman throughout the years but all i had was my memory of this specific tape that kept me going... Until Now!!!
I had this as a kid, we bought it at Revco back in 1991. I remember dressing as Dracula, blaring it on a tape recorder -- doing cape jumps off my Grandmother's porch....good times. I'm 37 now.
Would you believe me if I told you the US military uses this tape for physiological operations and to torcher military personnel who haven’t slept in days, we mix it with random explosions and fire off blanks while blasting this from the back of a pick up truck in the middle of the woods
We had a crazy cat Lady who lived in a broken down mansion down the street and nobody would go into her house but me. She actually had candy and I would get bags of it! 😂😂😂
I can’t believe this exist outside of my existence. I had this tape a million years ago. It’s great to hear it again. I found out that the background music is called Birds of Fire by Mahavishnu, and of course MJ with a version of Thriller. Thanks for the post. HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!!!!
I got this tape around 1986 or so, there were many rip offs of it being sold at the time, but I remember going over to my friends house and we would dance around to it anticipating Halloween in the coming weeks.
I did too and I lost that tape many many years ago and I haven’t thought of it in years and just also an out of the blue the other day ago I remembered it decided to look it up and at first I thought there’s no way I’m gonna find any trace of it on the Internet let alone a video of it and I was shocked actually find this video and listening it just brings me back to 1994, I was obsessed with this tape
Jay P I didn’t think I’d find it either but there it is - including a photo of the label on the tape! I think I bought mine in the early 90s at Walmart or something and it was eventually tossed. I’m thinking of converting t to MP3 and burning it to disc this year.
I had this as well! Wow. The memories came flooding back! Michael Jackson’s Thriller rip off at the start was something that I thought was the coolest lol!

My aunt had this playing one year during Halloween on repeat and I absolutely loved it ! I found the tape years later at a local Wal-Greens for $3 and I would play it every year for Halloween as a tradition! I always loved the jazzy music in the background accompanied by all the horrifying sounds .. it reminded me of playing Super Castlevania 4 ! Thanks for uploading this to UA-cam ! It’s been YEARS since I heard this tape !
Now that its been uploaded why does it matter what format it was on? You need help downloading it? I can assist, the tool youtube-dl is pretty dang handy.
Wow, this is just proof you can find absolutely everything on UA-cam
Literally!!
i had this as a kid growing up...pure chaos...the essence of Halloween
I had this too man... These were intense

I think every house back in the 90s played this on Halloween lol
100%
damn. this opens up so many halloween memories as a kid. i haven’t heard this cassette since the nineties.

Half of the tape is literally random horror noises put with smooth jazz music. You can even hear a ambulance siren at one point.
thats the part that always confused me
This whole tape is so unnerving like what’s going on it sounds like like a guy drowning in mud too at one point
Would you believe me if I told you the US military uses this tape for physiological operations and to torcher military personnel who haven’t slept in days, we mix it with random explosions and fire off blanks while blasting this from the back of a pick up truck in the middle of the woods
I’ve been looking for this for years now!! Man these were some great times!
This tape is my childhood and subsequent college driving escapades. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
My imagination would just run wild thinking of everything that’s going on there
The fact that I used to be so terrified of jazz music haha
Whoever chose that jazz arrangement of Stravinsky is a genius. It's pure chaos.
Jump scare in the middle "AHHHHH" - Almost shat me'self
When I was growing up an old lady with no teeth who lived across the street used to blast this on a loop from her window every Halloween.
👍👌
I would have cried lol my brother used to scare me with this tape lol I cried every time it played
guess she figured if you can't say it play it.

Good catch on the music!

Totally had this tape as a kid! Super cheesy but that’s what made it great. It’s like Halloween on Bossanova. LOL

Never fear! In the last 5 years I’ve stumbled across 3 copies!!!
I had this as well! Wow. The memories came flooding back! Michael Jackson’s Thriller rip off at the start was something that I thought was the coolest lol!
I bought this at an odd lots in ohio when I was probably 7 or 8. Awesome to find it on UA-cam now 30 years later lol
Never thought I'd find this again, parents had this on that exact tape when was 4, I used to turn off all the lights and blasted that shit lol
Same, I was so sad when I realized I'd lost my copy years ago.
OMG THIS IS THE HALLOWEEN CASSETTE OF MY CHILDHOOD THANKS FOR THIS UPLOAD IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS SINCE THE 90'S !
I had this cassette as a kid, but it skipped in the beginning so it sounded like "Happy..WEEN!" So me and my friends always laughed. 😂

Published in 1988 you say? Sounds more like it was recorded in 1968. Great find though.
LOL MADNESS, LOVE IT
Best. Ever.
Is this the tape? I think this is THE tape!!! ...I never got my copy of the tape...
2:08 - Where's this sample from,an old horror movie?

0:13 Pvz Laugh
I can’t find the one I had. It said “if the hair on the back of your neck stands up…don’t look back”
Any idea what the jazz piece in the background is?
Joseph Sweeden it's in the description
Don Sebesky (Artist) The Jazz album is Giant Box, the actual piece is an improv of Stravinsky's Fire Bird Suite..
This cassette puts me in the mood for Halloween !!
Something terrifying to me as a child
Maybe ICP sampled the part at 0:38 on 'wagon wagon'
ur right broh
