Sounds...Poison Props or Gore Galore?

MorbidMariah · #1 01-26-2010

Well, I'm in need of some creepy kid/nursery sounds and also some nice spooky graveyard ambience sounds. I have listened to the little sample clips on both Gore Galore and Poison Props of their nursery sounds and their cemetary sounds about a million times, and I'm torn. They both sounds pretty great. Does anyone have any recommendation of which I should go with? Or which do you prefer, personally?

I can't really comment one against the other as I've never used anything from Gore Galore. I do have a couple of CD's that I bought from Adam at Poison Props (BTW - he's a member on here) and I can't say enough about them. He has a great quality and a very diverse selection. I will definitely continue to do business with him.

Yeah, I thought I remembered a post from some time ago where someone else was saying how happy they were with their Poison Props cd's and the service they got from a member here. That's cool. It's always good to support our fellow Hauntforum folks!

I like them both as they have different styles of they're SFX. I started with Gore Galore as they were around 1st, but would like to start picking up Poison props also. They are both unique with they're own approach on each theme. Really can't go wrong either way.( Ya I know that just help...LOL )

I am the owner of Gore Galore. MY name is Kevin Alvey aka Mr. Gore, and I have been a member here for a couple years now. But I am a vendor so I try not to post when not asked, and try to stay out of any drama. Plus I stay a little busy most of the time. The only reason I caught this topic is because of Google.

I will weigh in on this topic too. Adam is a great guy. We actually work on projects together. And I think we will be doing alot more this year. But I digress. I cannot say our CDs are better, just different and I think that is a good thing.
You cannot go wrong with his CDs. He is an award winning sound designer.

But consider this. The more sounds effects CDs the better. It would allow you to change it up a little on different nights. Or possibly even elicit different reactions each CD. I know our Nursery (Playtime) creeps me out a bit.

But what you should really check out is
www.hauntaudio.com and ALL of the Gore Galore Sounds of Gore CDs are hosted there. Plus all of Virgils CDs, Michael Hedstrom, and soon will be coming the Rustyknife sounds Organum, Organum Effectus, Dementia, and Darkness.
It is an on demand download source for those that need it immediately or those that just love immediate gratification.
It allows you to download the audio at a reduced price, and it is immediate, and you don't have to pay for shipping. So the savings is like $6 per CD.

Now Getcha some Gore!

Last season I ordered the Toxic CD for my Toxic Waste Zombie Catastrophe haunt from Poison Props. Adam was very responsive to my questions, shipping was quick, and I even got an updated track with added dialogue. Calm female computer voice on the speaker: "Warning, toxic leak in sector 4, all personnel must evacuate."

The sound was so impressive and scary, it actually prevented several tot's from entering my first room.

Concur with all comments here, go with whichever one you feel would work best for your haunt. You might find that getting tracks from GG and PP would work. Either way, you can't go wrong with these guys.

I'm so glad I graduated off the 1995 casette tapes of scary sounds.

Check out DarkRose Manor's video. (post #25)
It has creepy kids and Poison Props soundtracks mixed.
They give a link to Poison Props a couple posts down from the vid.

Ya know, I think I will get both cd's that each company offers! Thanks everyone for your advice! Sounds like both companies are good people who will treat you right and put out a nice product.

A member? Six posts in three years?

I'd expect a vendor to post at least that many times under "Vendor Sales and Discounts". Heck, replying to this would make it seven.

Both great. I have several of both Adam's and Kevin's... they have therir own versions of several of the same themes and I think your best bet is to get them both and alternate them throughout your scenes. Halloween '09 we did circus/carnival theme; I set up PoisonProps Evil Clowns for the inside (dark and creepy), and GoreGalore's Circus of Freaks outside in the vortex tunnel (insane and vertigo-inducing). It was great... especially in the spot near the tunnel where you could hear both at once -- mental chaos.

When doing a soundscape, variety is king. I'm going for "matched sets" of all their stuff eventually. Best of all, they're both really good guys... friendly and helpful businessmen. Both highly recommended.
