Was anyone else scarred for life by this but still loved it.
YES !!! I think this came in my highlights magazine i got in grammar school in the 70s this flimsy vinyl record that was in the magazine , i played it on my little little portable turntable and to date it still gives me chills !
😂 I would definitely see them at dinner with this happening. I still say that to people. I have found maybe one person that knew what I was talking about 😂❤
I told you you’d be soooooorrrrrrryyyyyyy
@@jfoquendo oh, wow, i had the same flimsy vinyl record magazine thingy. Classic. : )
You know, till this day I've remembered this story & the echoing, "I told you you'd be sorry!" Always brought chills to my spine. My sister & I were in book clubs when we were kids & bought books at school. Brings back lots of childhood memories...
I know.. this will always be engrained in our brains when someone someone says "you'll be sorry" we imagine the head rolling into the garden, wailing...
I used to listen to this as a child in the 70's at my grandparent's house. I am thankful you have posted this.
I've been trying to find this for ages. Is this the same record that had a story about a child dying in a field at night? Or the one about the drawings of cats that come to life?
Wow I had this record when I was a kid! Thanks for posting this. It brings back memories.
I still have the record and have shared it with my nephew and niece. Good times.
Holy shit! I remember this from when I was 6 or 7yrs old!! I have told this story over & over to children & anyone else who would listen. I never could get the ending as good as this narrator did. Now I can send this to everyone I told this story to, & they can tell me what a horrible story teller I am🙃 My brother & I had the record & we played it on a GE record player my Dad got from his work. This brings back so so many memories.
Thanks!💀👻🎃
So glad you found this. My sister and I random reference "I TOLD YOU YOU'D BE SORRY" in that voice and no one knows what we are talking about. Ann McGovern has such a great voice for that.
Been looking for this for years!! Finally googled it... (duh). I had it in 3rd grade on a black vinyl 45... SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME!!!!
Thank you for posting this! We had this 45 when we were kids back in the early 70s. I hadn't heard this in years. I just posted the link to my sisters! Still as creepy as ever!
This is my favorite Halloween story. I love it.
AND.OFF.CAME.HER.HEAD.
WOW!!!!!! I remember this from childhood and finally found it!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Some crazy memories for us all. "I told you you'd be soooooorrrrrry"
I was 4 years old and I’ve never forgotten this story. Can’t believe I found this. Thank you for sharing this
I still have the record. So many memories.
I too had this same record in the 70's...BUT unlike everyone else, when it got to the part "Off came her head!, it rolled over onto the floor in the moonlight".... I was just rolling with laughter, so was my cousin, my grandma, and whoever else I played it for. It was just funny as hell.
That's how it was in my family too! We loved that line! In fact I just sent this to my sister for Mother's Day! Kind of weird I know but that's how we roll (howling with laughter tearfully)!
I'm soooo happy I finally found this!! My elementary school music teacher used to play this record every Halloween, and The Velvet Ribbon was always my favorite ^_^
writerspen010 your elementary school teacher? Yikes! Times have changed. Haha
Not *just* my elementary school teacher. My elementary *Catholic school* teacher lol every Halloween like clockwork she'd play this record, and we all thought this story was awesome xD
It IS awesome! Every so often I'll blurt out "AND SNAP, OFF CAME HER HEAD... it rolled into the garden, wailing tearfully, I TOLD YOU YOU'D BE SOOOORRRRYYYYY" hahahahaha
We used to listen to it in third or fourth grade. It was a school record, and we played it in the classroom.
I finally found this! I remember this Record I used to play of scary stories . For years all I could find was the scary scary story one about a green ribbon.
OMG, this! I was born in 1980. My brother was 3 years older. It wasn't until high school that we figured out that we had each separately had the experience of listening to this on the old fisher price record player as small children. And we both remember running out of the room in absolute terror as the woman wailed "I told you you'd be sorry!"
I heard this in class in grade school. Must have been between 1985-1989. The teacher played this on an audio tape player with a built in speaker for Halloween. There were other stories but this one... The ending of the story still chills me to this day. Damn.
I remember listening to this record as a little kid. I LOVED IT!
😆 "I told you you'd be sorry...." is still a family saying. Love it.
Yes, sadly people I hang with don't know the reference. We must share the knowledge. haha...
A friend played this for me in 1970 when I was 8. I still remember it!
Kids today don't know what cool stuff they missed ;)
I loved this....one of my favorites!!!
I used to listen to this in public school scared the hell out of me.
❤ty for this, so glad I remembered the name enough to find your post. I had this album when I was little ❤tyvm
Love this story. Great memories from it. Show me a greater ending in a less than three minute story and I'll be surprised.
Ever check out Two-Sentence Horrors? Some good stuff.
Oh my god, I had this 45! Thanks so much for posting!!!
Yeah these are the best and I didn't want them to get lost. We can't play them anymore because who has a turntable? (other than my son who is a musician)
Me too
thank you! heard this in my elementary school as a kid. that ending was great!
I got this record when I was in elementary school probably the 6th grade.it had some other stories on it the Earl King and a few other ones and one about a lady that hated dust. I was talking to a co-worker last night and he come up to me and said I told you. Totally unrelated to The Velvet ribbon. But it tripped a memory in my mind. So I went to RUclips to see if I can find it. Brings back a lot of memories from my childhood.
Thanks for posting this.
sic ric oh yes I have all those. I put a few others up here. The cradle that rocked itself that the haunted house were my favorite. I can put up the others if you want. I still have it.
@@kbamoroso sure .... The cradle that rocks itself it sounds familiar... Did you get these at school and if you did what year?
@@slickric2176 No I have the record. My parents must have bought it for us.

i used to own the 45 record of Spooky Stories with this story being on there when i was between 10 - 13yo. This was my favorite story i played it over and over. I'm 58yo now and surprised that this is still around today and i still love it chills and all. 😵💫👻
I too listended to is ver and over with my sisters. I had it memorized. I wanted to digitize it and share with all those that remembered it and those that never head it. I should have posted it on my facebook on Halloween. Forgot..... she told me I'd be sorry lol
OMG, I remember ordering this when I was in school. All of my cousins would turn off all the lights and listen to this scary record.......brings back old memories. Thanks! grace/berwyn IL
Wore out the record, as a kid. ty for posting
Still a great story in 2023!
Happy Halloween!
Wow!!!! this took me back back back lol....I heard this story when I was kid and I was so scared l had to be around 5 years old. Lol love those old memories. thanks for sharing!!!
Memories I will never forget!!!
My 2nd grade teacher played this in class for Halloween in 1970. I was shocked and scared straight!!!
I remember that from waaay back in the day (late 60s early 70s) halloween 🎃
Thanks so much for posting. Already shared with my sisters.
Yes all through childhood still freaks us out 😂
Thx for this! I remember it well!!😱
I remember this ❤
This is very similar to "the green ribbon", except in "the green ribbon" the woman(Jenny) was dying and called Alfred to remove the ribbon, when he did Jenny's head fell off.
The Green Ribbon must be a later, gentler version of the Velvet Ribbon. At some point an adult must have realized how scary the later story is. I heard it during elementary school in the 1970s when my teacher played it. I was freaked out, but I loved it!
Good stuff - thanks!
I told you you'd be sorry... hehehe
Those damn mail order brides!
I had this book when I was a kid
Awesome, i never heard this one before!
It’s a classic! Share it! Too good to be forgotten.
This is so satisfying to hear this record again. This story was burned in my brain since childhood.
Yup...as her head rolls into the garden.... whaling.... ITYYBS! We need to hashtag that. #ITYYBS ;)
@@kathyba Yes! That is an excellent idea. There is an entire generation of people that hashtag could apply too
#ITYYBS
@@RyGuyLikesFrenchFry I made a playlist with a few others I uploaded but looks like others have also. ruclips.net/video/P4LbmqveMJI/видео.html
@@kathyba You are awesome!
@@RyGuyLikesFrenchFry Just a person that loves history and preserving past things that you can't get anymore. So much is digital now and will be lost or not indexed. So many fun memories of odd ball things like these...ruclips.net/video/13TU8KDSEQg/видео.html (in my other account)
I had the book with this story I ordered from the weekly reader then. It's the only one I remember...
When I was a kid, The Velvet Ribbon used to scare the Sh_t out of me. I used to have nightmares from this.
oh my God Jim Morrison was alive when this was made
Morrison is still alive dude
Jim Morrison from the Doors died in 1971. I don’t know what Jim Morrison you are thinking of who’s still alive, but it’s probably the late singer OP is mentioning.
And black sabbaths first album was out during this year
Comedy gold!
I own this! My age is showing ;-)
My girlfriend showed me this last. The thing is, it was on the wrong speed, so it sounded like a chipmunk was telling me scary stories, and it was impossible to take it seriously.
well it plays at the right speed. Must have been a setting. Yeah, chipmunks don't do this justice. HAHA
I still have the 45.
stolen from the original stories by Washington Irving The Adventure of the German Student , and Alexandre Dumas's version the woman with the velvet necklace
Interesting. I'll have to look those up. I'm not surprised.
Never heard of that version except the green ribbon story
So Edgar Allen Poe like!
Anyone from the wolf among us?
Monzer Moussa here
You will be sorry if I do, so I won't....
OFF CAME HER HEAD!!
@@kbamoroso I hate it when that happens
