BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE
I put this frightful compilation together in October 2010 however for the last ten tears it has been in a dusty coffin awaiting its resurrection. Ten years later I decided to resurrect it with three additional bonus tracks that were not on the original release.
The eighties have arrived for your Halloween pleasure whether you get a trick or a treat this compilation is sure to thrill. All of the monster tracks have been taken from the original CD source. I hope that this compilation will make it’s way to your Halloween scare-fest. Most of the tracks included in this package are out of print and difficult to find. I wanted to put together a blend of popular and obscure tracks.
So turn out the lights and lock the doors then turn it up loud. Happy Halloween!

Love that you included “Eight Arms Around You.” The track featured on the Goonies Soundtrack from a scene that was deleted before it was released in the theaters. They should have rereleased the film that year, near Halloween “featuring 8 minutes of additional footage.”
Cannot get Vol. 1 anymore, unfortunately… -.- Maybe you can post it again? Compilation is marvellous!
Hi Rainer, I just re-activated the link. Enjoy 🙂
Hi Paul, thank you! 🙂
Greetings from Austria
this link has died, any chance I can get it still?
The link is re-activated 🙂
Love both volumes, thanks!
FELICITACIONES por excelente material!!!!!!.
Desde Punta del Este – Uruguay. muchas gracias.
Thanks for putting this comp together, Paul. Even more, for reupping same for new listeners to discover.
Seeing “The Hitcher” made me laugh, Paul. BTW, when are those Then Jerico singles getting posted?
Also, no Genesis “Home By The Sea” in the collection? The song is literally about ghosts!!
Wow! Nice compilation. I had most of these, hut had a bad quality version of the SSQ track. Nice to finally have a good quaity rip of it. I was wondering if you had the DMC compilation. I think it was called A Touch Of Halloween. It had Brainbug’s Nightmare mixed with Dawn Of the Dead in one track, and the other side, a bunch of tracks mixed with Vincent Price’s Thriller speech.
Thank you so much from Brazil!
You’re welcome 🙂
Thank you Paul. What a great compilation.
You’re welcome, Joey 🙂
This is fantastic!
Thriller without Vincent Price… not a fan!! I wonder why they even issued it?
HOWEVER this is a very nice mix of the song. Those handclaps are fantastic.
Thank you, Richard 🙂
BRAVO!!!!! Amazing collection!!!!!
Thank you, Brent 🙂
Ohh, too bad that Book of Love’s Tubular Bell/ Pretty Boys & Girls Regan’s House Medley was not included. Whenever i play it, still scares my little brother.
That is a good one but I am planning to re-rip the 12″ at some point. 🙂
What a great news DJPaulT. Looking forward to it.
We don’t celebrate Halloween here in my country, but this sure looks like a well-curated and above all super-fun comp. Massive thanks for putting it together and sharing it with us!
You’re welcome, Waltz 🙂
Hi Paul, you read my mind. I was just thinking about working on some kind of Halloween compilation. Can’t wait to hear it!! Thanks, Brian
I hope you enjoy it Brian 🙂
wow amazing compilation great work thanks you so much Paul.
You’re welcome 🙂
A few ideas for Halloween too..
Rockwell – Somebodys watchin me
Was (Not Was) – Out come the Freaks
Whodini – The Haunted House of Rock
Thank you for the ideas 🙂
Hey Paul,
You know how much I love Halloween and this compilation is such a thrill! I love the variety of the tracks and not the same-old-same old ones that wind up on lots of collections. Man you do have the talent and imagination to make a grand mix of music. I’ll be enjoying this one not just for Halloween, but all year through!! Thanks again!!!
Jeff
Happy Halloween, Jeff I hope this gives you some spooky fun until the scary day arrives 🙂
PAUL!!!!!!!!
I’m listening to it right now and I have chills of eustasy as it’s playing! You know me, being old school and all, I burned it to compact disc for an awesome collection split over two CDs. There are fifteen tracks on the first disc and fourteen on the second. This is so much fun and I’m having a blast!! And then…here’s Grace!!!! Just terrific. I’m bopping around like a lunatic!!!
Thanks again for an incredible compilation!!!!!
Jeff
Thanks, Paul!! 2 Questions:
1)What cd is the Thriller remix edit from?
2)I have completely forgotten about Crazy In The Night! A great song! Any chance we could see the 12″ soon?
Thanks again for this awesome collection and all the hard work!
Hi, Fred “Thriller” was taken from a Japanese CD Mini single its also known as “Remixed Short Version”. I have the Kim Carnes 12″ I will see what I can do 🙂
