An 80's Diamanda Galas recording cranked up will do the trick as well. :-)
Cheers,

Thank you, Ben. It happens. Hopefully he can clear it out easily and it goes
no further than that.
It's ALMOST (not quite, I'd guess) as bad as mice living in
your Mellotron! I like mice an' all that, but
there's better housing for 'em elsewhere, right?
Speaking of the CMaj 7th chord that's "scary," once
many years ago, I put together an original tape of creepy,
spooky music for Halloween, to play loudly enough it would
be audible outside our open apartment door. At the time, we
lived in a great little compound in Hollywood, with single
& double-story apartments all opening into a central
courtyard, perfect for parties and Halloweenies and other
such madness. (We even called it "Rancho Beyondo"
& to this day, some of those neighbors are still best
friends.) So my tape was LOTS of Mellotron, with MiniMoog, lots of effects,
with spooky, echoey vocal stuff added, I'm sure. Our
problem was that my wife & I didn't have anyone come
to our door, though we saw them outside in the courtyard. We
finally went out & asked our neighbors if they were
getting kids at their doors. They all were, but they
explained to us that my music was scaring them and no one
dared knock! HA! I did it a little "too well," I
guess. I turned it off... we started getting
Trick-or-Treaters almost right away. Hmmm...
Mellotron's a very powerful instrument! (-:
