I didn't realize they misspelled groans and didn't didn't close the quotes in the part that lists the sound effects until I went back and typed this.



This is the less common 1996 version of Madacy's "Sounds of Halloween" release. There are a few differences from the 1994 version:



- Different formatting of the text on the bottom of the back of the case
- Audio is 14 minutes shorter
- No crossfade in between each repeat of the audio


This audio is still the same 8-minute track played forwards and then backwards for the duration of the audio, but instead of a crossfade between each repeat, there is a few seconds of silence. Remember, this version with no crossfade came after the one with a smoother transition. No idea why they made it like that. And I'm sure it's not an issue with my ripping or the playback, because I notice it while it's playing in a CD player, it's there when listening from my computer, and it's there in the rip. I also don't understand why they made it shorter, that was just kinda random. I guess they liked the 1 hour audio better than 1 hour and 14 minutes.


The 1994 audio has been repackaged and re-released many times, here's the Discogs page: https://www.discogs.com/No-Artist-Sou... It doesn't include the 1996 one yet, but I will make a page for it eventually.



As I'm typing this I'm not sure if it will appear under this video, but YouTube claimed this video with a song called "Mutilated Genitalia in Lack of Resurrection Under Effective Punch" by Cenotaph. I found it and found that the part it claimed does in fact appear in that song, but the song came out in 1999 and Sounds of Halloween was first released in 1994, so it seems Cenotaph sampled Sounds of Halloween for their song.


Also, there will be ads in this video because of the claim, nothing I can really do about it.
