Hey Jim,
Got a good laugh over that one!  I JUST now remembered, while most of my little madness came from my own deranged mind, I did use some non-original music in parts of my little compilation/conflagration, were parts of Pink Floyd's "Sysyphus," from the "Ummagumma" album... I want to say, released around 1970-ish.  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmQujwmalfA)

The first & last sections feature Mellotron, synths and tympani, primarily, and I think those are the sections I used, I believe with scary, echoey voices and screams, invitations to "Come inside..." etc., to  top 'em off.  That helped to stretch out my little frightmare-for-the-neighbors to a reasonable length so I wouldn't have to keep rewinding the cassette.  (THAT dates it, doesn't it? This would've been somewhere around 1978-'79 of so, I think)  It was fun.
By the way, aside from this particular musical diversion, there's a lot of really great, more "Floydian"-type music on this record, too, as well as other rather wild & fun stuff. One of my favorites is David Gilmore's "Grantchester Meadows," with beautiful acoustic guitar work, typical Floyd vocals, and the eventual demise of an errant fly. How much fun is THAT?!?
Cheers!
Berington
