    Our buddy Bill Ruppert just shared another Effectology video with us, this time creating spooky sounds from the haunted house. The effects he creates here are pretty wild including Alien Bells and an X-Files whistle, all built on effects pedals and a standard git-fiddle.

    He notes that the original X-Files theme came from a E-mu Proteus/2 synthesizer, something that would probably be laughed off a rack today.
