Creature Feature FREE “Death of a Dollmaker” Limited Time Download

January 26, 2010 Halloween, Horror, Music No Comments


So all you Deadites, nothing speaks to us all more than Music while haunting. And with that, Spooky, Horror Music gets us in the mood to build as well and one of our favorite bands at RFR is a sweet morbid ditty called Creature Feature.

With their album, “The Greatest Show Unearthed” it is catchy, dark, moody, spooky and full of lyrics we all love to sing along to as part of the Haunt Industry.

Well now for a limited time you can get a FREE Music Download from the band to show their appreciation for all its fans support over the years. In their official release it states:

“Hello fiends,
As a special gift for all your years of ongoing support, we’ve decided to offer up our instrumental ‘Death Of A Doll Maker’ as a free download on our new Bandcamp page. We tried to set it up the free download on our Myspace player, but it didn’t seem to like that idea too much and the link doesn’t want to show up. So, when you go to our Bandcamp Page and you click on the download link it will ask for your e-mail address and for you to set your own price, you can either pick zero or any type of donation (if you have any pennies to spare), but we are making it available for free. So please download the song, tell your friends about it, e-mail about it, tweet about it, send your friends the link, etc. Just be magically whisked away to our new Bandcamp Page where you can download the song free of charge.”

So while you can you need to get this sweet FREE offer from Creature Feature. I know we have gotten our copy, and so should you. For more on the band Creature Feature visit: www.CreatureFeatureMusic.com and stay tuned to RFR as we work to get the team on the show soon.
