Radio Spots From Hell

Horror Film Radio Spots - As much as I love trailers, radio spots really had to go that extra mile to seize a listener's attention. Shrieks and howls are common, but it's the hyperbole of the narrators that really managed to 'sell the sizzle'. Most of these tracks first surfaced thanks to the efforts of Mike Vraney's 'Something Weird Video'. Back in the days of VHS (remember that?), Something Weird gave away radio trailer comps on audio cassette with any of their utterly amazing trailer tapes. I still have fond memories of subjecting one and all to the gory delights of the Blood-O-Rama Shriek Show trailer compilation during my 18th birthday.

I've managed to locate some extra tracks that I considered 'essential' for any horror compilation (that means more Fulci, early Cronenberg & grindhouse standards) and converted them to MP3 to make this the ultimate horror radiothon:
