wait, so i don't post one here much any more so I'm super out of the loop..did neverending pass away?

Yah man, I'm gone.

hah.. oh i guess not...first post of this thread kinda seemed to insinuate that something bad had happened...my bad...well, glad your alive i guess. ;)

For 11 years I ran an internet radio station, and during the month of October I did a monthlong celebration of Halloween, featuring a wide variety of Halloween themed music, horror film soundtracks and spooky old time radio shows, culminating in a 2 or 3 day long live broadcast marathon, with a chatroom for people to gather. A lot of the long time members of HDC liked to tune in and hang in the chat room. A fun time was had by all, as they say.

Earlier this year I suffered a series of catastrophic computer meltdowns, and lost everything- music, software, even the ability to broadcast, as I now am reduced to using a crappy old laptop to get online. Some of the station's longtime fans will miss the Halloween tradition. I'm not bragging to say there was nothing else like it, online or elsewhere.

This is what they're refering to.

Excellent thread idea, newb. Thank you.

Thread Stickied.

Not horror I know, but manages to capture the essence of the man and his online station.

I also miss the hosting of HDC events on NEW: HDC awards, trivia contests, etc.

A song which I requested every year.

Simply unbeatable. Used to wait with bated breath when this came on.

Can't forget Screaming Lord Sutch:

...and it's Indian version.

Try beating this.

My feet used to automatically start tapping when this came on NEW Radio.

Speakers on, full blast!

Being an Indian, Halloween wasn't a part of my routine until I started tuning into NEW Radio from way back (in 2006 or 07). I am a habitual late riser, and never get up before 9 AM my time.

For the month of October, specially the last 3 days of the chats and live broadcasting, I was getting up at 5-6 AM, rubbing my eyes fiercely as I cranked up the computer and started Winamp to tune into NEW Live! Come 1st of November, 5 AM my time, I would be tuned into NEW Radio, catching the last few hours of Halloween Live broadcast.

Due to the time differences, late night prime time in the US was very early morning time for me. I would be a bit dull and laggard throughout the rest of the day, due to the lack of sleep, but never regretted it.

Same for the HDC Awards.

Only a few hours sleep (3, maybe 4 max). But the broadcast of NEW made it worth getting up so early. Everyone in my family knows by now that if I got up early, it was definitely going to be a NEW broadcast day.

Shame there won't be one this year. I will definitely miss it.

And here's one with clips from the actual movie (Dark Floors).

Like V said, Halloween wasn't a local tradition in our Bengali culture also. But yeah...for last couple of years as I've become a huge fan of horror movies and started to tuned in on NEW radio occasionally at Halloween season, it become a totally different & exceptional experience for me. Though I might not have been a regular listener like others but whenever I managed some time & visited the site, Uncle Ozma always able to amazed me with his odd & surprising set of playlist every time. It was a totally shocking & saddest moment for the fans when we came to know that there will be no NEW broadcasting anymore! Damn! lately I have rediscovered some very rare Horror themed creepy BANGLA songs and I wish I could share them with NE on his awesome channel (I just uploaded them on youtube with set of creepy images using on the background).

I remember, last year NE decided to add an extra surprise feature for Halloween...Horror News Items...News reports based on classic horror movies!! It was a very fun & exciting thing for me as I made few of them & sent them to Uncle Ozma but later couldn't able to manage time to hear them out in NEW. So, if NE permits then this time I'd like to share them here in HDC...cause those things were total fun!

Kudos to Newb for this fantastic thread...a truly deserved tribute to NEW radio...the online radio channel that really made a great new way for us to enjoy the "Halloween" at even distant parts of the world. We'll miss it badly.

Thank you, newb. :)

A staple diet of every Halloween night on NEW Radio, and easily the most loveable. Brings back a lot of memories...

Bookmark this post and play it on Halloween night, folks.

nice :D

The radio segments from The Fog were one some of my favorite bits to feature, since the radio tie-in was a natural. Same with the radio bits from Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.

And speaking of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I always enjoyed presenting this song:

The Cramps version:




And the original version:

LOL@'Texas Chainsaw Square Dance Massacre'

And here's another favorite from The Fools:

A bit of Goblin fer ya

And probably the most requested song ever, on NeverEndingWonder Halloween Radio:

Should've been this one.

Well, it wasn't. :p

I remember hearing this a few years back and digging it

I have this cd by King Crimson...but April Wine does a killer cover of it as well

Last year Lee had asked us to send in "News" stories.

I still have a couple on my computer that I sent in

They are quality, Newb.... I did a bunch and had a few make it to the air waves, but never bothered to save any of them. :rolleyes:

If any of you guys have any of your news reports saved and want to share, post 'em up, was one of the highlights of the show last year. :cool:

I was very impressed with all the news items everyone submitted, and had a great time sharing them on the air. I lost them all in the crash.

I also always loved hearing HDC members' soundbites on NEW.

A fire that ripped through a famous dance academy in Freiburg, Germany last night is being treated as suspicious.
It took 50 firefighters near about 20 minutes to contain the blaze to the three-stores dance Academy building.
The academy building was severely damaged but there is no human causality yet discovered.
A Police spokesperson said as there is no sign of any academy officials dead or alive, the fire was being treated as suspicious. Though most of the students remain unharmed from the heavy blaze as they were attending at a theater while the fire erupted & spread the whole dance academy building but some of them claimed one of the newly enrolled students, named Suzy Bannion wasn't with them last night & now reported missing by them. The Police are now looking for her whereabouts.
A crime scene guard will be in place until Arson and Explosive Squad detectives examine the scene this morning.
Police are appealing for anyone with any information about the fire to contact with them soon.

We're sorry to interrupt this program to announce a very tragic but mysterious accident. The body of the eight-year-old Rhoda Penmark has been pulled from the Fern Country Bay early this noon. The father of the deceased, Col. Kenneth Penmark identified the body. The local authority is quite baffled at the moment as this is the 2nd Fern School drowning that happened within a week. As we reported, few days ago another eight-year-old, named Claude Daigle was accidentally drowned on the same place on their annual picnic of the Fern Country Day school.

It's a mystery how or what made both the children got on the abandoned pier on the Fern property that the students had been forbidden to play near or on it. Both the bodies were found off the end of the landing, wedged among the piling.

A Police spokesperson said they are now suspecting that there may be a connection between these 2 tragic accidents. They are waiting for the full recovery of the deceased Rhoda Penmark�s mother Christine Bravo Penmark who has been admitted into the local hospital just three days ago after making an apparent attempt of suicide. The police are expecting to get some answers from her on these tragic & mysterious drowning of 2 children as soon as the doctors authorized them to question Mrs. Penmark about the mysterious death of the 2 children.

More news of this tragic affair is expected momentarily.

Nice one, roshiq, thanks for sharing! :cool:

In an attempt to fill a fraction of a fraction of the void left by NEW, I humbly offer a new episode of my annual podcast:
