Only 450 lucky souls will get to own copies of Spooky Sounds of the Morgue, the first vinyl record ever produced by Fright-Rags. That’s just one of the ways the horror apparel and collectible merchandise company is celebrating its 20th anniversary.
That’s what it’s really known for: T-shirts. At least, that’s what it started out selling. Now, it offers all sorts of “Other Stuff,” as they call it, including trading cards, action figures, books, drinkware, pins/buttons/patches, and more.
But the record may be their most novel offering yet. Let’s check it out.
Spooky Sounds of the Morgue Record
Fright-Rags invites horror fans to “immerse” themselves in “a macabre auditory experience” with Spooky Sounds of the Morgue. The 7″ record is pressed on purple vinyl and comes with a shirt featuring the album’s cover art. It’s inspired by Halloween sound effects albums of yesteryear, but it also features two original tracks by Mike Deiure and Rocky Gray.
It’s available for pre-order now and will ship the week of October 27. But if you really want one, act quickly. It’s limited to 450 copies.
Trick ‘r Treat Collection
Follow the rules of Halloween with the Fright-Rags’ Trick ‘r Treat collection. The retro-inspired line includes a tin lunchbox with Thermos, two 32-ounce souvenir cups, and a set of six puffy stickers.
Sleepaway Camp II & III Trading Cards
Fright-Rags goes to camp with Sleepaway Camp II & III trading cards. They come in single packs (nine cards and a sticker), factory boxes (80 cards, two stickers, and a checklist), and sealed boxes (two full base sets, two full sticker sets, two checklists, one autograph card, and a printing plate).
Other Recent Releases
Other recent releases include I Spit on Your Grave, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), The Munsters, Trick or Treat, and True Romance.
Find Fright-Rags at HorrorHound Weekend

When was the last time you bought a record? (If you ever have, that is.)
Bonus question: If you remember when you bought your last record, do you also remember what album it was?
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.
