OK, Here's a screenshot of the main sequence. The letters correspond to the samples in the graveyard. Enjoy.

Final reviews before voting....

starmelt - a friendly person with an obsession for knives
You have done well with only two samples. While the phrase "carving knife" contains an implied threat, perhaps you could have done more in mangling it to give it a more threatening sound as well.

Mo Verdigast - Pleas
A very interesting melange of very different samples. Each remains relatively unprocessed - and perhaps some more "blurring" of these samples with delay, reverb etc might have melded this into a more cohesive, and threatening whole.

freeztar - Crescendo of Fear
Eeek, there is a devil in the plumbing system. Love those metallic sounds. This is a well constructed track that creates a real sense of foreboding. The end comes all too soon.

...I played all the submissions this month at our annual Halloween party. Lots of good atmosphere, but each was too short...

What?! You didn't put them all together in one big monster mash-up first?

Very disappointed in you. Have You(tm) become Fat & Lazy? (sorry, that's a SNL reference)

Emdot_ambient - Very impressive use of samples. Over 100! " By the time I had managed to tell him, as rationally as I could, what I thought I was hearing, my ears gave me the last fading impression of the scurrying; which had retreated still downward, far underneath this deepest of sub-cellars till it seemed as if the whole cliff below were riddled with questing rats."

Questing rats. Classic.

I resemble that remark. I've been that way for a long time.

Me 2. But, then, we ARE Americans.

You bloody Yanks. You have to be the best at everything, don't you!

I thought about that but also liked the idea that the samples could be known. After all, I wouldn't have wanted to blur Knockman's sawing or the screams. But definitely thanks for the comment!

REMINDER: Voting ends tomorrow morning... whenever I can stumble out of bed and find my way to the computer.

Note to all that have given me votes.

I am so incredibly flattered. It's always nice to get votes, but I do these things mostly for the exercise. Going outside of what I normally do is hard for me and these ordeals help a lot. But having the approval of so many of you is truly a joy. Thank you so much.

P.S. To all who think my track wasn't scary enough, how can't you think LadyJ's voice pitch shifted and played in phatmatik is not scary?
