Midnight Syndicate has been making Halloween fantasy soundtracks since 1997; they're the originals and the plot keeps thickening. "The 13th Hour" returns us to the decaying Haverghast mansion, where a dreadful past is revealed and displaced spirits return for revenge. With just this outline and song titles for starting points, the music inspires you to imagine the horrific story it tells. It's captured in fragments of sad, fractured piano, sinister organ and chimes, paranoid atmospheres, and bells that shouldn't be ringing like that. The "Cellar" and the ghostly phonograph in "Hand in Hand Again" are hair-raising and worth the price of admission.
