The Scariest Radio on Radio: Sirius does Halloween
Sirius Satellite Radio will be devoting an entire channel to blood-curdling Halloween sound effects, as well as broadcasting other creative programming dedicated to the All Hallows' Eve.
Sirius' Scream (ch 119) will be an uninterrupted channel dedicated to all things spooky, eerie and darn-tootin' creepy.
From October 27th to October 31st, Scream 119 will feature favorite Halloween stories from Sirius personalities such as Martha Stewart, Dee Snider, Jay Thomas, Mary O and Cousin Brucie, as well as Halloween-themed interviews, features and more.
Then on October 31st, Scream takes on a transformation.
For 24 hours on October 31st, Sirius Scream will broadcast chilling Halloween sound effects, perfect for Halloween parties at work or at home, to listen to in the car driving around the neighborhood trick-or-treating and to play in the house and front yard as trick-or-treaters come over.
Kid-friendly spooky noises include creaking doors, wolves baying, footsteps, bubbling potions, a fog horn, breaking glass, the sounds of being chased through the woods, eerie screams, the echo of dripping water, a heart beat, a slow walk and thunder (get the idea?).
Other fun Halloween programming spanning multiple channels and days includes: Martha Stewart Living Radio’s tips for everything from delicious orange and black meals to having the most innovative costumes and parties on the block; Sirius’ psychic host Mary O takes scary calls and sheds light on why things go bump in the night; and RadioClassics will broadcast the original War of the Worlds during its original 1938 date and timeslot, as well as other classic radio dramas starring such Hollywood horror legends as Boris Karloff and Peter Lorre.

I used this last year and received a lot of positive comments. I placed my Sirius boombox in the bushes by my front door.

Last year XM brought Special X back for Halloween. That > Anything on Sirius.

Who needs a Halloween channel? Just tune to Oprah & Friends and Take 5 around "that time of the month" and hear those horror stories. E-Lo said the periods are alive and well over on the women's channels.
You'll hear tales of blood and bloating for a good 4-5 days a month year round.

i'm actually passionate about it, too, so I'm aware of the needs of people searching for information. Right now I'm working on making this my blog bigger and better, because I am passionate about that so it's not really work to me. There is no doubt you have a great interest in it after all that's why you are here.
