Scary Stories: Frightening Tales for Halloween delivers just what the title promises: seven classic horror tales, including the Boris Karloff-narrated "The Vampire Sleeps" and James Mason's reading of "Shadow." Nelson Olmstead reads the Poe classics "The Pit and the Pendulum," "The Tell-Tale Heart," and "The Fall of the House of Usher," making this album a delightfully chilling collection of some of literature's most unnerving stories. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
