    Welcome to HALLOWALRUS - NECRO'S HOUSE OF HORRORS



    Tonight from 7pm we will see the scariest, the freakiest - and the downright weirdest entries to a Walrus ever imagined....

    200.gif

    You bloody well should be!!! The amount of mental anguish inflicted on me from some of these entries has probably scarred me for life

    tenor.gif?itemid=3444771

    Let's run through the categories...

    1. Scariest Song EVER: I want the wild, weird and wonderful here. If it terrifies me, it's gonna do well here - no matter how bad it is!!

    2. My Bloody Halloween: A track that has a reference to something scary in the title.

    3. Halloween at the Movies: Send me a track that appeared on a horror movie, that simple.


    See you all at 7pm for a bloodcurdling, spine-chilling, and downright horrifying edition of Walrus...

    I was contemplating submitting a 48 min song for the terrifying one :pac: just the thoughts of having 48min song in there would have terrified you into maybe missing your deadline :D

    Mine was 14 minutes for that one. I'm sure Necro despises me for that alone, and am fully expecting last place for it...

    I regret nothing... :D

    For the first category I had a couple of choices from the same artist I selected that would be 15-20 minutes long, but I don't hate you to put you through such a long ordeal, so I opted for something shorter.

    While people are waiting impatiently for 7pm and this epic Walrus to begin, I'm sure Necro won't mind me plugging my own Movie Walrus... Sign Ups are only open for the next 48 hours, because f**k giving people too much time to think about things... ;)

    Couldn't really think of a scary song for #1, so just went with something dark and moody. And I needed Google's help for #3 as I'm not really into horror films.

    I suspect I will be doing well just to avoid the wooden spoon here. :o

    I think my selection for scary song might raise some eyebrows but it is a song that I always found intimidating and the particular version I selected is a different type of weird.

    I struggled, then picked a song I dont particularly like or enjoy. God knows how it will do. I can appreciate the creativity of it but the subject matter is disturbing.

    So for this category I was looking to be terrified by your entries. I can safely say y’all delivered in spades… I think I’m genuinely mentally scarred by some of them – wasn’t able to sleep a wink the past two nights!!

    A couple examples of what I’m talking about below:








    As per my previous reveal, I’ll start with 4th from bottom and move up, we will have a fantabulous final 6 then of top and bottom 3. We actually have one duplicate in this round, how did it fare – as the entrants will grab the same points I allocated!



    And as always, bottom – top – middle… it’s only my opinion, it doesn’t mean your song is any better or worse than the next person!

    Had I heard this song before: No


    It’s a shame I have to rank this so low as it’s actually a good track, but I just don’t find it in any way terrifying.

    A story about canabilism and murder suicide with a living head. At the end is not terrifying wow. Yiu are so desensitised man :P

    That version you posted is too quick I prefer the slower one sounds nicer

    But I'll take 6 points

    Electric Nitwit

    Evil Dildo - Placebo



    Have I heard of this song: No

    Definitely an eerie feeling in the build up to this one. I just felt it dragged a bit in the middle and while it was ok, it didn’t terrify me – or really pique my interest massively if I’m honest. The title though.. yep that's pretty terrifying!!!

    Demon's Souls OST - Demon's Soul




    Have I heard of this song: Yes-ish


    I enjoy a lot of video game soundtrack stuff. This is definitely what I’m looking for. Maybe not scary per se but definitely… ominous. Nice choice

    Slayer - Repentless

    NSFW NSFW



    NSFW NSFW

    Have I heard of this song: No


    Interesting, I expected much more heavy metal and stuff but I don’t mind me some Slayer. This is just a good track – video is a bit dodgy surely but as it doesn’t really “scare” me I think here is about right.

    Trigger


    Careful with that Axe, Eugene - Pink Floyd



    Have I heard of this song: No


    This is one of PF’s that I can get behind. The screaming in the track adds to make a sinister atmosphere. The first two minutes or so are a bit meh, then when it properly kicks off from there it’s very enjoyable.

    The Rake’s Song – Decemberists



    Have I heard of this song: No




    The story the entrant told me in their PM actually gave me a lot of high hopes for this song. And it’s a great track – just didn’t scare me like I expected it to.

    Have I heard of this song: No

    Now we are getting somewhere, this sets a real sombre atmosphere throughout and I really just enjoyed it. Try listening to that in the pitch black of night with a Ouija board in front of you… *shudders*

    Errr... not that I did that or anything :o

    Probably needs the context to be scary...

    "Those are actual death threats left on my ansaphone. The exact words were, 'I will f*** you up the ass and I will sneak into your room and cut your cock off and stuff it in my mouth and chew it up with my little teeth.'" He smiles, strangely.
    "And there was another one, from a bloke, saying 'Motherf***ker, I'm after you.' He called back to say, 'I know where you live.'"

    Type O Negative - Wolf Moon






    Have I heard of this song: No



    The voice here… shivers. Again I tried to capture the atmosphere for these songs as much as was humanly possible and this is a great choice. The top songs though are just… yeah they’re just out there on their own.

    Nico - Mutterlein



    Have I heard of this song: No


    This is the start of it. Hooo boy the voice here freaked me out at 3am when I couldn’t sleep.... and then I had no sleep at all after listening to it :pac:

    It’s a clever choice. Absolutely not what I would ever normally listen to – but it captured the essence of what I was after for this particular round.

    Diamanda Galas-I Put A Spell On You

    Had I heard this song before: NO!




    Sweet mother of JAYSUS DIVINE – the banshee warbling in this track is enough to give someone permanent mental damage.

    It’s awful. But it’s terrifying, and that was the point of this round – so well done. Now let us never speak of this again. :D

    Not a fan of this theme. Just drags on way way too long, I don’t get any atmosphere from them. Maybe it’s cos I never found the Exorcist remotely scary, I dunno, I’m not a doctor. Anyways this was where they ended up.

    Fair play Necro for putting yourself through this.
    Have to say some great songs - although not ones that I would be inclined to listen to regularly.
    And 2 great discoveries in Nox Arcana and Nico - I like Nico's voice, didn't know this song and like the German lyrics.

    Patty Waters - Black Is The Color of My True Love's Hair




    Ah lads. This is all sorts of whack-job crazy. Like the song is awful… GOD AWFUL. But it’s absolutely terrifying and it’s 14 minutes long!!!

    I mean you take the crazy half attempt at singing by the last lass and remove any ability – what is she doing at around 11 mins in, is she chewing glass?

    Oh my God why did I do this to myself.
