Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 25: Haunted Mansion CD

This Haunted Mansion CD is another one that I picked up at the local Dollar Tree a few weeks ago. The first insert exterior's left side has the track list that includes "Outside The Mansion" (Intro), "The Grand Foyer" - Bach's Toccata and Fugue, "Whsipers In The Library", "The Family Room" - Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, "Chaos In The Kitchen" - Grieg's In the Hall of the Mountain King, "Laboratory Of Madness" - Gounod's Funeral March of a Marionette, "Chills In The Cellar" - Bach's Passacaglia and Fugue, "Toys In The Attic" - Chopin's Funeral March, "Hallway Of Doors" and "The Cemetary" - Bach's Toccata and Fugue (Reprise). The right side is the front cover with a spooky haunted house, bats, a full moon and birds on a barb wire. The text states "Haunted Mansion - Traditional Halloween sounds & music to greet your guests".

The first insert interior's left side has a list of credits including Tom Hambleton - organ, piano, harpsichord, music box. The right side is the same picture as the front cover but without the text and the birds on a barbed wire. It would make a cool desktop wallpaper for Halloween.

The second insert's interior features a slightly bigger version of the haunted mansion found on the cover that would also make a good desktop wallpaper.

The second insert's exterior, which is the back cover, repeats the track list. The top text states "Put the haunt in your house with this creepy collection of spooky sounds featuring Halloween classics performed on pipe organ, harpsichord and piano". The bottom text proclaims "Over 50 minutes of Halloween sounds and music produced by Tom Hambleton". The Haunted Mansion CD was made in Canada in 2000 (yes, that's twenty-one years ago).
