MODERN HARMONIC & SOMETHING WEIRD VIDEO'S LATEST DVD/VINYL COMBO IS PERFECT FOR THE HALLOWEEN SEASON!
The strange, yet magnificent alliance between Something Weird Video and Modern Harmonic continues with a super cool new LP release of the SPOOK SHOW SPECTACULAR A-GO-GO! I remember way back in the day when I had Something Weird's VHS release of MONSTERS CRASH THE PAJAMA PARTY: SPOOK SHOW SPECTACULAR (long since donated after I abandoned the VHS format) so I feel a little tug of nostalgia as I post about this new LP. If you enjoy cinematic oddities and collect records, then this might just be up your alley! Keep reading to see what this groovy LP/DVD combo offers up!
About This Release: From the 1930s until the 1970s a popular form of entertainment, quaintly called, The Ghost (or Spook) Show, enthralled America. Traveling magicians and illusionists went on the road and added horror elements to their regular (often predictable) stage acts. This appealed to youngsters eager for cheap thrills and chills. The advertising campaigns promised to “scare the yell” out of those “brave” enough to attend, and performances took place mostly at midnight in movie theatres that were decorated with outrageous lobby displays publicizing the shocking and scary things about to be seen - ghosts, ghouls, monsters, gorillas, mad doctors, and some things “so terrifying” that they couldn’t even be mentioned. During the course of the night, classic horror movies were shown, and there were contests with corny gimmicks and silly prizes.
Since its release, audio bits from the MCTPPSSS have popped up on radio stations and music compilations. People love them. So it just seemed logical that Something Weird do a Spook Show album. And like our old pal, Jim “The Mad Doctor” Ridenour, we’ve always believed that horror and rock ‘n roll go hand in hand, so what better way than to combine some rarely heard, fiendish surf and garage rock instrumentals with the trailer & radio spot audio and incidental music from the DVD? Now all groovy ghouls and goblins can time travel and have a Spook Show A Go-Go Party! (Just add your own ghosts and gorilla suits...)
