thanks for all the recommendations.

I've starting thinking about my categories and have split them into 4 groups. If you're interested in examples check the links, it'd be nice to hear any comments you have on these as well as any further recommendations

The Split Subject Voice

Dislocated/Relocated Voices

The Spectral Acousmatic Voice

A-linguistic sounds of corporeal transformation

That video (episode 12/Hammer House of Horror) was outstanding! I was sucked into it like a hair ball into a vacuum.

hahaha, glad you like it!

I've been totally absorbed by The Woman in Black - great great TV Film. I re-watched Psycho last night - woke up and posted this: http://notesfromthevomitorium.blogsp...in-horror.html

It's a bit of analysis of Psycho and also provides some context for my first 3 categories. The forth category is where HHoH ep. 12 belongs and it is by far the scariest category in my opinion! Will have to find more examples of it and post some thoughts on it soon.

Really glad you enjoyed The Woman In Black (1989)-the voices from the past are genuinely terrifying :)

For evil spectral laughter you would really enjoy Kill Baby Kill!/Operazione Paura (1966)

and The Stone Tape (1972)

Also Session 9 (2001)
Don't Go In THe House (1980)

The Stone Tape is amazing, such a great film, side orders of racism and sexism are cringey though!

Will definitely check out Kill Baby Kill soon.

Yeah that sadly is typical of 70s BBC TV thankfully it no longer happens.

Watched Changeling last night - amazing film...

Peter in The Stone Tape is just too funny- dude is like a chimerical sexist mutant of:

1) Clarkson. - E.G. after twisting Janes nipples whilst yelling "porn channel 1! porn channel 2!" he shrewdly covers himself by saying ye olde clarkson get out clause of "only joking"

2) Noel Edmonds. - E.g. Shirts, paunch, stature, hair.

3) Alan Partridge. E.g. When with the lads one must should at all times, talking is for sissies - real men shout.

They guy is just too funny.

OMG lol! Clarkson is a revolting chauvinist pig. Noel Edmonds is sinister and creepy. Alan Partridge at least is a fictional character though you do wonder how much Steve Coogan is "acting" when he plays the role. A mix of the three is a pretty spot on assessment of Peter in The Stone Tape I love it.

I also love The Changeling great atmospheric horror :)
