Hi friend!
Roland has a card named SRJV XP Soul Jazz that has dozens of sampled vinyl scrateches, very well recorded and processed. I myself use a few in my future release in 2 songs.
Howevr, you will need some JV XP compatible module so as to play them. Maybe a friend of yours might have one to borrow/rent?
Also, try a search at google.com.
I can look here also
Nice week

There are a number of pay per sample web sites out there. I have tried out some of the freebee examples and they are fair to passable. However, I didn't try any of the "expensive" sites.

I prefer making my own sounds. If I can't make the sounds I need I usually buy CD or CD-ROM sets.

Peace,

Uncle Bob

You know, I never realized how effective drastic varispeeding (as in, stretching without preserving tempo OR pitch) can be used to make some really eerie sounds.

Typewriter, minus two octaves - hair-standing-on-end

Sample of WW2 aircraft, plus two octaves - creepy wail

A little off topic, but you might find this useful. Be inventive.

Get a receptionist desk bell, record that, then make the pitch start at -2 octaves and dip even more very slowly after the attack, and dip the volume at random intervals. You have your own creepy gothic bell.

Greetings,
Oh the love of sound design... A decent mic, a little processing power and you've got years of fun. The bell idea sounds cool but why stop there??! I recorded my fridge running a while back for some room tone in a short film that I was working on. Shift that down a few octives, add some fat reverb and gate it. Great solid kick.

Michael, similar thing here.
We were producing the soundtrack for a short lenght movie.
Ithought we were going to record drums.
So, before the musical director arrives, my tech jumped to the drums and I recorded a 2 minute groove.

The big guy arrived and....
He liked the demo groove so much and we ended up pitch shifting it 2 octaves down. It sounded like a King Diamond patch -lol

All the soundtrack terror scenes were developed towards that terror groove

lol
