The whole thing is rounded out with rare 1950s radio movie trailers like Ed Wood's "Plan 9 From Outer Space" - a compilation that has never existed in this form before and will take your breath away! Halloween - from Ireland via the USA back to the European continent, what was probably originally a Celtic custom became a cult holiday before All Saints Day. Halloween is the night of 31 October to 1 November each year and the young epitome of spookiness and sheer terror. Bear Family's "seasonal compilation" isn't limited to the theme of one night, Halloween, however. We have the ubiquitous horror, the fear of the macabre, rebirth, zombies and ghosts, those in our heads and those in horror movies and films. With the book "The Shadow Knows" you will be plunged into a realm of darkness and unexpected horrors! "The Shadow Knows" is the perfect soundtrack not only for Halloween. Whenever you want to get close to demons, play this CD. We wish you a spooky and fun treat!
