The Headless Horseman Rides Again: The Songs of Sleepy Hollow

, , , ...



This is a little compilation of the various different versions of Sleepy Hollow songs that I put together - one of several things I didn't quite manage to get around to on Halloween. Didn't get any comments on my podcast so here's hoping maybe someone will like this one better.

Bing vs. Walt

, , ,

To help ease you down from your Halloween candy high...

Here's two more versions of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Rip Van Winkle - This time its Bing Crosby's narration (from the 1949 Decca record - with Rip Van Winkle narrated by Walter Huston) and yet another version of the Walt Disney Legend of Sleepy Hollow / Rip Van Winkle record narrated by Billy Bletcher - this time the 1971 re-release that came with a story booklet.

It's Bing vs. Walt! Listen and see who you think wins this epic battle :devil:


The Legend of Sleepy Hollow The Story and Songs - The Legend of Rip Van Winkle (ST-3801, 1971):


This is a re-release of DQ-1285 (see my Boris vs. Walt post) only with a read along book for the Sleepy Hollow story. I had 2 diff. sets of scans of it lying around (one has better image quality overall, but text on a couple pages seems blurrier than the other.) The booklet is only something like 13 pages including front and back covers so I didn't think it would make the overall package any significant amount larger so I just included both. See which you like and trash one or whatever.

Ichabod and Rip Van Winkle (Decca DLP-6001, 1949):


This one has the Legend of Sleepy Hollow's MVP - Bing Crosby himself narrating! And the Rip Van Winkle story is narrated by Walter Huston and is the same as found on the 78 rpm record set Rip Van Winkle (Decca DA-432, 1946) which came with a story booklet. (Included in DL.)

Troll Pack!

, , ,

Well after posting that King Kong record I was reminded how fun stuff written by Cherney Berg often is so I decided to throw out a few more Bergian things. I did a quick look around for what was currently on my drive and found the Troll records at least 2 of which have stories adapted by Cherney. Then I had a thought that threw me from that idea on to a slightly related one (this is how my brain works and why I am usually in the middle of at least 50 different projects, none of which seem to ever quite get finished P: )

I decided if I'm going to post a couple Troll Records anyway, I might as well get all of them I have and post them all together. So after hunting around a bit I found where I put them all and here we go with the Troll Records Pack of DOOM!! (feat. stories adapted by Cherney Berg)
[mentally insert thunder and lightning effects here]



In this package of Trollish goodies you will find:

Great Ghost Stories
The Headless Horseman Of Sleepy Hollow
Erica Frost's I Can Read About Ghosts
Scary Spooky Stories
Thrillers And Chillers
and
Weird Tales Of The Unknown

I originally got these ages ago from either Scar Stuff or Mostly Ghostly so all due credit to the original posters. I've never seen them all together in one post though so I don't think I'm being too redundant in re-upping them. Enjoy!

After the Boris Karloff & Dizney versions of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow what is left to feed your need for a fix of headless horseman horror? Give this a try! Its a radio play from the old Favorite Story series from the 1940s.
