I can’t find any information on when this obscure recording was created, but it has a vintage feel to it.

I thought this sounded familiar. Jason Willis wrote about it in his fantastic Scar Stuff blog years ago - here’s the entry, with a little more information about the record’s origin:

Scar Stuff: Sounds Records "Hallowe'en Spooky Sounds" (Sounds EP 501, 1962), "Music for Monsters" (Sounds EP 503, 1962), "Spooky Sounds" (Sounds 1205, 1962)

Scar Stuff is a great website!

It really is - it was my go-to site around Halloweentime to grab kitschy, spooky albums. It’s still useful, even though Jason has moved on, and the albums are no longer there for download.
