Phantom Tollbooth

This is a sound described in the "Dr. Discord" scene of "The Phantom Tollbooth" by Norton Juster: "blindfolded octopus unwrap a cellophane-covered bathtub". I needed it for a play so I created this sound.

Sounds I used to create it:

I can't believe you actually made this and posted it! Did not expect to find this when searching for sounds for Dr. Dischord. Thabks for providing this!

Hey man,
I'm doing a "Phantom Tollbooth" play too, and I was searching for sounds to create the same "blindfolded octopus unwrap a cellophane-covered bathtub" effect when I came across this, so this sound made things a lot easier for me! I'm not using your sound, but I plan to use a couple of the sources you listed to make one a lot like it. Thanks!
God bless!
