Re: Mellotron is dark and creepy?

2010-03-23 by Jake Kobrin

To me it sounds exactly like a grainy old black and white (or sepia, I guess) picture looks. Old grainy pictures are sort of creepy... So is the mellotron, but in the absolute best way possible. I love creepy things, though. That's why it has worked so well in Goblin and Morte Macabre, etc.
