Cadabra Records

Horror stories on vinyl! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we digress a little bit to talk about Cadabra Records and their “nightmares on vinyl.” These are spoken word readings or full cast audio plays of classic horror stories, set to atmospheric soundscapes and wrapped in evocative sleeve art. They’re part of a larger tradition of (often horror-centric) storytelling recordings but, primarily, they’re just plain cool as heck! Pick one up, dial the lights down low and have a spooky evening!

Our friends at Noble Knight are organizing a union and we support their efforts whole-heartedly! We’re firm believers in the non-controversial idea that all workers should be fairly compensated by their employers. Unionization and collective bargaining are an excellent way for workers to ensure they get that fair share. For updates on the process, follow the union Twitter and put “We Roll Together” in the notes field of your online orders to show your support! (And just to be clear, we’re speaking from the heart on this – no one is paying us for our solidarity)

One thought on “Cadabra Records

  1. There is a wealth of horror, fantasy and science fiction audio records (spoken word and full cast) from the 1970s-80s accessible on youtube. Search Caedmon Records, Pelican, and related records will also come up. Check out Leonard Nimoy reading Heinlein and Bradbury; Shatner readings; Asimov, Clarke, SIlverberg, etc. al. reading their own works is a treat. This builds on the tradition of audio entertainment from old time radio days of full cast audio – there are plenty of Lovecraft, Bierce, James, Poe, etc. adaptations on Suspense, etc. All of which are free on places like Radioechoes.com.
