Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this! I have been looking for it for years! I had this album when I was a kid in the early 80's and we listened to it all the time. We were just as scared hearing it the hundredth time as we were the first. We (my siblings & cousins & I) still recite..... "Do you have it?!!" "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH" I would love to get my hands on this album again.

Wow I love these series! I would die (not really) for the album! Lol I'm gonna scare the shit outta my friends at football practice tommorow! XD

I love the crackling sound the record makes. It makes the story so much scarier.

Monkey's Paw is a completely different story. You may be thinking of "The Skinny Toe", which is basically the exact same story as "Golden Arm" except a person finds a dismembered "skinny toe" in the garden of a dead woman's house and her ghost comes back for it that night.

The version I heard at the the Mark Twain Muswum was different. They had it set up so you could listen to it through earphones. It was spoken by someone trying to sound like the old man who told it to Twain when he was a child. There was no name given to the wife, and it used the phrase, "Who, who, WHOOO stole my golden arm?" The "whos" were made to sound like the wind. I think it was scarier than this version. I wish I could find it online. I jumped out of my skin.

@melora72 The version you describe can be seen on the DVD "Mark Twain Tonight", a video of the one-man-show actor Hal Holbrook does in the character of Mark Twain. He tells the Golden Arm story in a manner you describe, and it is spooky.
