 Great Selections January 5, 2008
I really like the musical selections that are on this CD. The recordings seem to be from years ago and the quality isn't quite as good as modern recordings, but I like the selections a lot.
Not Just For Halloween Season! October 5, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a great CD of classical music with a spooky flavor. It is of course perfect for the Halloween season but can be used to good effect any time of the year. Many of the pieces will be very familiar as they are commonly used in movie and television scores to create creepy atmospheres. The exciting, well produced music on the CD can be enjoyed by everyone but these arrangements are an especially good way to introduce kids to some fine instrumental music.
Ominous Classics September 29, 2007
I love this collection, if for no other reason than the recording of "Danse Macabre". This is a Halloween classic and is played frequently to great effect. Most recently I heard it played in the movie "Tombstone" (starring Val Kilmer, et al) during the traveling theatre group's play.
This collection takes popular tunes from just as popular films. Of course, all of these can be heard in several films. These are just the most popular... or ones I am familiar with.
1. Toccata & Fugue In D (Phantom Of The Opera)
2. Danse Macabre (The Bride Of Frankenstein)
3. Funeral March Of A Marionette (Alfred Hitchcock Presents)
4. Night On Bald Mountain (Fantasia)
5. March To The Scaffold (The Shining)
6. In The Hall Of The Mountain King (Halloween)
7. Mephisto Waltz (U/A)
8. The Sorcerer's Apprentice (Fantasia)
9. Dream Of A Witches' Sabbath (Sleeping With The Enemy)
I don't recognise "Mephisto Waltz", but it's a worthy addition to this collection.
one of the best CD's ever!!! August 31, 2007
this is the best CD i've ever purchased!
i love classical music! and this CD has one of the best collections ever.
the main reason why i got this album is because i am a fan of Old Disney cartoons. This Cd has the song in the mikey mouse cartoon the Aprentice, and there is also a song used in the cartoon Hansel and Gretel the song is called "Danse Macabre" and is my favorite. I highly reccomend it.
Classic Scary Music January 10, 2007

If you're looking for classic haunted castle type scary music, this is a good CD.
Used this in a haunted maze in our basement, and it helped freak the kids out fairly well.
