That's too bad. Would have loved to get your expert opinion more than anyone else.
Though I was tempted to listen to some of the material you've collected for Welcome to Weirdsville, and look at the Neverending Wonder Radio thread, I purposely did not to make sure I created an original, & personal, take on the enormous subject. I certainly have listened to Welcome to Weirdsville in the past.
This year, since I have a co-host now (Frank), I make the shows a little more live and conversational. I concentrated my soundscapes on what I considered the best, richest & scariest sound clips from horror film.
Started with the classics, Frankenstein's awesome Telsa coil sounds with the 'it's alive' scene, the excellent 'Abby Normal' Young Frankenstein clip; Bella & Frye's meeting, 'what beautiful music they make', added some special delay and reverb effects to some of the best werewolf sounds; Lon and Maria's meeting, & topped it with Festival of the New Wine song.
Intermittently we'd talk about the clips and horror film... 'why do people like horror?', 'first horror film you saw?', some quick interviews around town, brief personal memorizes. Frank's (sarcastic) segment was on why It's a Wonderful Life was the scariest film he ever saw. (Never know what he's gonna say.)
Besides the 'the classics' soundscape, I did a 60s, 70s, Giant Monster, & 80s+latter soundscapes, including ED2 intro, Regan/Karras encounters, a little Tubullar Bells under Karras' reading the Lord's Supper, Richard Pryor in the SNL Exorcist skit, Halloween 78 clips and theme (with added phaser effect), The Haunting 63 poltergeist sounds, Jaws, Lemora, Blue Oyster Cult's Godzilla song where I fuss with clips from Godzilla films, clip from Godzilla Vs Mothra and the original Sacred Springs song, just to name a few.
I do this for every show, but this one was the Halloween/Horror special.
