Gravecast Back from the Grave!

Posted : October 1st, 2025

In 2010, I stumbled across gravecast.com (don’t try – it’s long gone), a blog in which one Morbius J. Kromwell (aka Martin L. Collins) created and released thirty soundscapes for Halloween over a period of months. I eagerly downloaded each new one as it was released and they’ve been part of my Spooky Season listening for the past 15 years.

Last year, out of curiosity, I went looking to see if any of the tracks were still available online and discovered that, in fact, they were not. However, I connected the Gravecast site back to a Halloween blog by Mr. Kromwell (https://morbiusjkromwell.wordpress.com/) where he talks about each track, and from there connected his real name to the site and reached out about adding his tracks to the Cult of the Great Pumpkin/Sinister Sonics archive on SoundCloud. He was kind enough to let me do it and now you all get to benefit from the results – you can listen to/download 28 of the 30 tracks at https://soundcloud.com/savagesinister/sets/treats-from-the-grave (SoundCloud removed 2 tracks for potential copyright issues), and if you’re curious about any given track, you can find details on Mr. Kromwell’s blog (link above).

So happy October, everybody, and happy listening – there’s roughly 4 hours’ worth of soundscapage here. Start listening to get into the October SPIRIT!
