From the original author’s site:-

So… I’m listening with glee, to one of horror’s great elder statemen– the late Vincent Price, chill my bones & occasionaly throw in a laugh or a grim smile. Happily ‘grooving’ to the many mp3’s I now own, of Vincent Price’s Caedmon spoken-word albums.. courtesy of Jason’s blog, Scar Stuff:
A Hornbook For Witches,
Tales of Witches, Ghosts, and Goblins,
A Coven Of Witches Tales,
A Graveyard Of Ghost Tales

As I enjoyed the sometimes humorous, sometimes creepy– mostly creepy– storytelling of horror legend Vincent Price, a thought occured to me. “These stories might be even cooler, with some background music; the whole treatment, like Boris Karloff’s ‘Tales of the Frightened’!! “

Thus the idea was born.

Thus, I’ve spent my free time like Igor in the graveyard, scrounging up retro-ish moody music & the occasional sound-effect from numerous sources–I’d prefer a ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy on the music, thankee… even though it’s all ‘out of print’ music from various sharity blogs—-

Despite the title, I haven’t included all of the tracks from the ‘hornbook’ album. That one just has the neatest title! What I did was pick a cd’s worth of my faves of about 4 different albums–(and I only hope the engmatic Jason, whom I’ve never met, doesn’t get sick of me ‘piggybacking’ off of his blog!)– put them to music, put them together in (I hope) a coherent, thematic track-order… and here they are! Just in time for YOU, to play it at your next swingin’ Halloween Horror Party!!
