In the comment thread for this morning's Hallowe'en-themed mashup album Mashing Pumpkins, BB Reader Howard Hallis points to his stupendous mashup of the narration from the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland with Bauhaus's "Bela Lugosi's Dead," a track called "Haunted Bella" that just works. My day is complete. MP3 Link, Coral Cache Mirror Link

Update: Howard's server is slammed -- just use the Coral Cache Mirror kthxbyebye

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    any other mirrors? Coral Cache is full of the slownesses. :(

  • Pope Guilty

    That was tremendous!

    …now I wanna hear “Sanity Assassin”, as it’s the song after “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” on the greatest hits CD I have.

    Those other mashups aren’t as good as the Bela one.

  • howardhallis

    Uh oh… Hope this doesn’t crash my server!

  • howardhallis

    Yikes! Looks like it DID crash my server! Cory, any way you can host this on the Boing Boing networks?

    Should be OK if everyone sticks to the mirror — I’ve updated the post.

    This mashup makes me so happy. Not only did I visit the Haunted Mansion as a child, I had the record with this narration on it, and used to scare myself and my kid brother with it all the time by listening to it in the dark. Of course, I also dug Bauhaus as a teenager. Throwing these two together is bringing up all kinds of thrilling emotional associations!
