How can you go wrong for a Halloween CD? This has all of the great tracks! Psycho, Halloween, The Exorcist, X-Files.
CD Reviews
Horror muzak for parties.

"If you are looking for a solid collection of classic horror themes recreated as heard in the movies, then you had better look elsewhere. This collection is not for you. Various musicians either play respectable covers of classic themes (i.e. The Exorcist or Halloween) or completely slaughter them with poppy covers. Harry Manfredini's already silly disco-pop theme to Friday the 13th Part 3 is destroyed so badly you would think that Jason Voorhees himself had stomped into the recording studio. Fans of pure, play it like it sounded in the movie recordings will be disappointed."
Blah!

"Some of them sound like the original recording.Others sound like MIDI tracks burned to CD. With such a good lineup of movies (sans X-Files), I was thoroughly disappointed at how "synthy" it sounds.To get this CD all you have to do is use your favorite search engine and type "midi and horror".I want my $$ back."
Average collection of cover tunes.

"I've had reasonable luck with Laserlight's Halloween CDs, introducing me to such artist as Screaming Lord Sutch, the Undertakers, and a couple of other minor groups popular for Halloween-themed music.
By comparisson, this CD is a relative disappointment, featuring covers of spooky movie and TV themes.
Friday the 13th gets butchered the worst, with Exorcist following close behind, primarily by being about a minute to long, and the Twilight Zone is way too funky.
Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street fare the best, followed by Jaws and X-files. The rest are tributes to mediocrity.
For Wal-Mart's price of under four dollars, it's a decent deal, but I certainly couldn't recommend spending any more than that for it.

Want the original songs - look elsewhere...

"I will keep it simple - these are not the original songs from the respective movies. These are different versions created by Roy Shakked. Luckily, Roy is talented and 2 of the songs sound similar to the originals. The rest sound closer to 80's pop."
A great CD, but I already thought of this before

"It's a real good idea to have all this halloween music playing, but I had already had the idea of a burning a CD with a bunch of freaky music to blast on halloween."
