Various Artists – DjPaulT’s Maniacal Halloween Party (Deluxe Edition)

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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!!!!!

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!
