Hey only 3 days until the start of October. I found some halloween albums from you guess it, Hallmark. actually there's 2.

that's right. Both albums have spooky noises for halloween. and Side B. Trick and treat! and you guessed it right. Soundalike covers of Halloween songs will haunt you with cringe. Here is your 30 minutes of Spooky cringefest of soundalike covers on Side B on both albums! Enjoy (but i can't find the full album of Sounds of Halloween by Hallmark on YouTube)

 
But wait. there's more. @RadioJonD, and everyone... We need to talk about the tea. the tea of your nightmares. We're talking Amvest Video!

Before we dive in and talk about the tea of your nightmares that is Amvest Video.

There is a oddity archive episode of it. Watch.
 
And according to the Oddity Archive wiki and mr. Benny-boy himself (Thanks, Ben! Sincerely, Ed. i mean ColeThePony)
Amvest Video was a fly-by-night video company based in Rahway, New Jersey, known for releasing public domain material, their cheap and odd VHS tapes, and their Kid Pics division. They are also infamous for releasing their VHS tapes without any labels. They later apparently responded to this by releasing Grampa's Sci-Fi Hits with a sticker featuring an alien flipping you off. All of their VHS releases had the recording tab (which allows the tape to still be recorded over) still on it, which poses a risk to having the materials on it recorded over.

About that. the Kid Pics division has family-friendly "Public Domain~" cartoons. but something creepy and IT WILL HAUNT YOU when you put it in your VCR and play this VHS tape.

I am talking, about the HAPPY HAMSTER.


(Thanks god HE'S GONE back in 1990.. THE HAPPY HAMSTERS ARE DISBANDED, DEAD, BYE BYE FOR GOOD. YES! and it's still haunting you.. )

The happy hamsters released a album full of spooky songs. and that album is The Happy Hamsters Go Ghostbustin’ Plus Other Songs And Stories . Take a listen to this haunting album sent to you from Hell!
 
And there is more from Amvest Video. There is a VHS release hosted by Grampa named "Grampa's Sci-Fi Hits" (played by Al Lewis). The actor of Grampa also hosted Super Scary Saturday on TBS (remember that?):

Do you think Grampa's Sci-Fi Hits had full movies on the tape, right? but no there is only trailers on the tape. not full movies. because of 2 Reasons.
1. Licensing rights of movies
2. upload_2018-9-27_19-43-46.png

Here it is. Grampa's Sci-Fi Hits. enjoy.
