Our Rating:
For anyone in need of a soundtrack for this Halloween you could do worse than to order the Big Stir Halloween Grimoire, the double vinyl comes with its own devilish board game, the album was recorded and produced by Chrsitina Bulbenko, Rex Broome and Michael Simmons in Burbank. This album is a must buy for anyone with a collection of Halloween themed albums, you may be scared but you won't be disappointed.
The Halloween Party opens with a narration enticing you to play the demonic Halloween sounds of Big Stir records Halloween Grimoire that has The Ghoul You Want fluttering in on bat wings, assisted by the Librarians With Hickeys in Byrd like formation, hazy shades of your future grave, how much did you get for your soul, running towards a bucket of candy, she'll kiss you in your grave. Mein Gott what's happened have the Eyeball Eaters From Outerspace arrived, make sure you have a bowl of jelly eyeballs and Sparkle Jets to shimmy down the sidewalk to this, keeping clear of the Pepper's Ghosts Players cackling over a cauldron.
The sci-fi kids are sitting in the gloom discussing Dark Matter while the cutest girl points at The Corner Laugher because she looks and sounds far too happy and upbeat for Halloween. Yea gads who put on the Burbank Witch Project are we in Full On Witch Mode already, burn your sage while playing with your hockey sticks by The Armoires a violinist stalks the room, drink from the cauldron full of snakes hissing towards the lighthouse, The Curupira emerges from the lighthouse with a fiddlers lament accompany his Footprints all the way to Hungrytown, he wants to survey the menu, The Boundless Realm drives him into the Spirit world deep in the arms of The Spongetones and the demon brass section.
Oh no watch out, watch out it's true Frankie's Back feasting on the bones of the city, Shplang goes the neighbourhood, he did it his way and now Frankies Back lurching around all the way to Splitsville, the Music Of The Devil blares out of the walls, visions of a multiplicity of haunted Graham Parker's sputtering along chased by a Tribe Of Goldtops, milk bottles skate over the organ, gospel shouting acrobatics in the pews and aisles, yee haw! Phanthom mean fiddlers stirring Jack Rubies spirit from under the table, still a greasy bar band, back in my dreams, Brrr who thought it was a good idea to spend time with the Fresno Nightcrawler in the Halloween wind outside Blake Jones & His Trike shop, they should have known better, my hair's ruined in this weather, whatever next.
Well of course the threat is Scooby's gone powerpop and given Rick Hormada the Jinkies again, just what the Jinkies do to him feels like the Stories Of His Soul flung through a hazy reverb, cobwebbed goodbyes, muttering Omens Of Ill Fate at Black Cats & Broken Mirrors staring at you with Crossword Smiles and foot high bouffant curls, it can only be Count Jangular who as he always has, is chasing down dastardly Steve Stoeckel in his velveteen suit, like a full on street preaching maniac, he yells out I Wanna Be A Vampire, has he not seen the trail of dead and cursed infested with immortal sins.
If you have an automatic record that Tonearm will lower itself onto side D for the haunted spectral vision of Richard Ohrm arriving From Nowhere an apparition in your sonic den of depravity, how have we lasted this long without reflecting on the horror of the Zombie Century, we must rectify this at the Speed of Sound Dolph Chaney comes to the rescue, the harmonious crusader driving the Zombies back. The youngsters have now been tucked up in a sugar coma once more, nightmares of Lady Darkevyl threatening darkly I Watch You Sleep while Chris Church performs the ancient rites, Nightmares of dragsters in Detroit cruising towards 9 Mile with the Halloween Bride who is also known as The Incurables deepest desire.
The ribbons are out, the clock has struck 13 on that Strawberry Alarm Clock and the monsters are chasing you all out of town, your all demented from too much candy and acid punch, this is some bad trip we've been on, The ashes of all those footlong reefers burned by the stake, they will make sure your allowed to Spread Your Ashes in the haunted mansion, for a small admission price, the equivalent of one Double LP so hurry back once you've ordered your copy.
