Take a behind-the-scenes look at how we create spooky sounds for Hallowe’en in Greenfield Village! Using Foley sound recordings, we created a soundscape that helps turn Liberty Craftworks into Sleepy Hollow Tarrytown, New York.
Listen closely to hear voices and sound effects emanating from different buildings and areas:
- Horse hooves on various surfaces hint at the prowling Headless Horseman.
- Liberty Craftworks Bridge has the eerie sounds of the mill pond described by Washington Irving in his Sleep Hollow tale.
- Outside the Glass Shop, recordings from the Eagle Tavern taproom evoke Sleepy Hollow Tavern.
- The Gunsolly Carding Mill becomes a school, playing sounds recorded at Scotch Settlement School and authentic dialogue sourced from real primers and books of the period.
- The sounds of horses and mucking stalls turn the Sawmill into a stable.
- And more!
These sound techniques help create an immersive experience at Hallowe’en in Greenfield Village. You can also hear our team’s work in the soundtrack for The Headless Horseman vignette and the Hallowe’en Express audio.
Lend an ear during our car shows, Holiday Nights in Greenfield Village and other programs to see if you can identify other sound effects in action.
