"SCARE"CHECK OF THE WEEK
For week of October 25, 2015
Edition #856

Talent: FREDDY VETTE
Station: CJBQ Belleville, Ont.
Date: October 31, 2014
Time: 50:58 (unscoped)

OK, boys and ghouls, listen in.

Using his best Count Dracula voice, Vette spins some spooky sounds from his dungeon of dusty discs on his 2014 Halloween special.

It's nearly an hour of alarming audio, hair-raising hits and terrifying tunes from the deepest and dungiest regions of music's mustiest vaults.
