Hollywood’s Todd-Soundelux LLC, which until its shutdown provided postproduction sound effects for movies and television shows, is selling a collection of sound effects to the highest bidder at a Nov. 13 auction, the Wall Street Journal reported today. Bids are due Nov. 5 for the company’s Hollywood Edge sound effects library and website. Users pay a licensing fee to download sound effects appropriate for everything from a light rainstorm to an alien invasion. The Haunted House collection features such sounds as “spooky blood-curdling screams,” “graveyard” and a “haunted monster cave.” Todd-Soundelux will ask a Los Angeles bankruptcy judge to approve the winning bid at a hearing to follow next month’s auction.
