Tales of Witches, Ghosts And Goblins told by Vincent Price LP Vinyl, 1972 Cover designed by Leo and Diane Dillon

BACK COVER – How can a fellow turn himself into a werewolf? What is the correct procedure for raising the spirits of the dead? Do you know the proper words to recite in order to keep from being frightened by hobgoblins, bitten by devils, or shoved against walls by drunken ghosts? This is the record that tells all about it – an anthology for the listener who enjoys a good scare. It is a program to enjoy by a friendly fire on a rainy afternoon or a windy night – but make sure the doors are double-bolted and the proper protective charms set out within easy reach!
Ever since primitive man first learned to put two and two together he has haunted his world with supernatural beings. Even today a great many people believe in the existence of warlocks, witches and werewolves – and not all of them live in the backwoods of Transylvania. No matter how many new inroads are made by the rational finding of science about the nature of reality, a part of every human mind clings jealously to the irrational. Children in particular love to scare themselves, or to be scared by the telling of a good ghost story. In recent year, with the revival of interest in astrology and Ouija boards and the occult in general, the supernatural seems to be coming back into its own. In this anthology we turn to the rhymes and spells, stories and eyewitness reports of ghosts and goblins that have held the readers of more than one generation under their spell, bringing them to life through readings designed to prickle with goosebumps the flesh of young and old alike.
Here are complete instructions on what to do To Become a Werewolf – the proper ingredients and their preparation, the choice of a suitable location at midnight, the words to recite to invoke the "spirits from the deep who never sleep." Here is a recipe one can use To Raise the Dead, listing ingredients and how to combine them. Gobbleknoll, is an eerie tale about a hill that "ate people." There's The Smoker, the story of a boy's strange friendship with a skeleton. There's The Phantom Merry-Go-Round, with its weird report of revellers drowned in a storm that engulfs a ballroom in a pleasure palace by the sea – a tale reminiscent of Edgar Allan Poe's The Masque of the Red Death, which also depicts the punishment that pursues those who would evade the trials of reality through the devices of escape. In The Lone Grave, we hear the story of a beautiful girl who danced herself to death at a ball but has since never been able to find rest, even in the grave. A Pair of Gloves is a gothic love story. The Broomstick Train offers a change of pace with a verse by Oliver Wendell Holmes which warns that "witches are hard to kill." From Scotland, we hear the words of The Witches' Reel recited by the weird sisters of that area as they whirled in the night. 
But we have detained you long enough on the threshold of this fascinating adventure in the realms of Evil. Recite your spells, remember your verse for warding off demons, have a spine-chilling trip and be sure to return safely before the first light of dawn.
