If you are in search of something to get you in the spirit of the Halloween season, this album will do the trick. Twelve spooky stories narrated by the great Boris Karloff. These recordings were originally made back in 1963 for The Readers Digest Magazine Radio Show. After the series was cancelled, Mercury Records released them on vinyl under the title, "Tales Of The Frightened".
The stories were written by Michael Avallone and, to be honest, are not that good. But Karloff's voice and the cool eerie music (performed and recorded by The Electrosoniks) more than make up for the mediocre writing. Mercury went on to release a second volume, which is as good as the first.
This is perfect accompaniment for a rainy, cold October night.
