Which vampire's death scream was the scariest in your opinion?

There had been several cases in Dark Shadows where a vampire was killed either by staking or by being exposed to sunlight. We all know it was a common thing for the vampire to scream upon dying (In fact, almost all of them had, with the one exception being Dirk Wilkins). In your opinion, which one sounded the scariest?

What do you call those radio imaging elements with the snippets of songs in between the voiceover recordings?

It's something I always love to hear on the radio.

Here is a typical layout of one:

Voiceover 01.

Song Snippet 01.

Voiceover 02.

Song Snippet 02.

Voice Over 03.

Song Snippet 3.

Voiceover 04.

What do you call them? music imagers?

What would happen if a radio stations playlist was to run out?

As far as I know, a radio station will use a music scheduler, a software program that uses a rule-based system to schedule the music. This is the program that generates the music logs (music playlists).

The log is then fed into a radio automation system, which plays out the content based on what is in the log. The easiest way to do this is by playing out everything in a sequential order.

OK, now what would happen if the current playlist were to run out? Those things are not infinite, right?

I assume a few things:

  1. Loop the playlist.

Something I've seen happen before on a radio station that has a few short 6-hour-long playlists that never ever changes. If one of these playlist is loaded it would immediately start over again, right after it comes to an end (No silence or pause), replaying the exact same content in the exact same order (No this was not an anomaly or one time occurance). I assume this would continue on forever until it is interrupted.

  1. More than one playlist is set.

Simply, when one playlist is over, another one takes over. It's radio automation, after all and I would assume that you can even have playlists scheduled to play at specific times. Example: Automatically load X playlist at midnight.

  1. Dead air (Obviously, you don't want that.)
