5 out of 5 stars Great Music!   August 18, 2009
Tchaikovsky Fan
This CD is great to listen to anytime, not just Haloween! The selections on this disc sound great as performed by the best orchestras and conductors. All the songs on this disc are focused around Haloween, so Night on Bald Mountain is included. With it is Toccata and Fugue, Danse Macabre, In the Hall of the Mountain King, Symphony Fantastique, and others. So, if it's Haloween or not, this is a great disc to listen to!


4 out of 5 stars Great Selections   January 4, 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.


5 out of 5 stars Not Just For Halloween Season!   October 5, 2007
Susan Y. Schoonover (Boulder, CO)
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.


5 out of 5 stars 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.


5 out of 5 stars one of the best CD's ever!!!   August 31, 2007
J. Ventura (Scottsvalley, CA United States)
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.
