If you are a big fan of some of these horror films, like I am, do not buy it! They are not the original themes. But if you don't mind the cheap sounds and just want something simple, buy it. I guarantee it wont scare your trick or treaters this halloween. It almost sounds like a downloaded midi file, which are not very good quality sound. If you don't mind the poor version of these famous themes, god be with you because all horror patrons won't.

I bought this cd last year with high expectations, only to be completely let down. Be warned, these are not the true original recordings, they sound as if they were recorded from a cheap toy piano. As was stated in previous reviews, I bought this collection of songs for holloween mood music, as well as for my personal collection, as I am a big horror fan. To use this as music for halloween would be a joke. On the other hand, if you are looking for true horror movie music I would highly reccomend the cd by the name of the history of horror. That by far has been the best collection of horror music, and does not even compare to this....

Like a few of the other comments, I was looking for the original theme music. This one is not. A previous comment mentioned "The History of Horror". That is what you're looking for. I just purchased it. Thanks for the tip.

Let the buyer beware. If you are looking for quality recordings of your favorite horror movies themes, keep looking. Although the original artist are given credit for the music on the back cover, the actual recordings are from some hack in a garage with a synthesiser. This collection is in no way acurate to the original movie themes. In other words, this cd sucks.

One good use might be at a public hautned house or trails and played at high volume. It would probably keep away any unwanted animals and insects. Come to think of it, the cd would probably keep away the customers. Ok, so there is no good use.

I bought this CD thinking I would get some nice recordings of some great Halloween songs for background music.This CD fills this statement if you want some second rate "newly recorded" CRAP. A TRUE horror/Halloween fan will know that these songs are different than the ones we hear all the time in movies and on TV. The track that you can notice the most is track 5-THE X-FILES THEME, it is totally different than the original. Now that I opened the CD and listened to the horrible reproductions, I cannot return it because of Amazon.com's policy. Now that I hear it again I might recommend it to someone for music that nobody is actually going to listen to. But be wary for the finely tuned horror/Halloween fan in the room. This person will surely be disgraced.

I bought this c.d. hoping it would be good for my party because all of my fav. movies are on there. Thank god I played it for myself first. The theme to Jaws is horrible. It is completly distorted. Just listen to the sample. If you want to really hear what it sounds like type in a search for spielberg themes. Now listen to that sample. That is what it should be. PLEASE DON'T IGNORE THIS MESSAGE!

Terrible covers of movie themes done in someones basement. ALSO,be warned of HEAVY HALLOWEEN by the same company. Great song list of metal songs! What you get is sorry covers by some vocalists who need to be shot! Dont order anything from Drews Party Music even if it is cheap!!!!

... not a bad CD. one reviewer mentioned to "avoid Heavy halloween" which is funny because I bought both CDs for 2 bucks at a Dollar Tree Halloween 2004. Anyway, it isn't that bad, Psycho sounds pretty cool. Worth the buy if you get it at the price I did.

I am a big fan of horror movies and Halloween. Drew's compilation is well-chosen, with a few exceptions: Poltergeist, Exorcist II: The Heretic, Friday the 13th (where's the sh sh, ha ha theme?).

He should have included more from The Shining.

I love this cd. I have had it for years and play it all the time (even when it's not around Halloween). As many reviews here have pointed out these are not the original recordings, they are enhanced copies. For people looking for the original recordings, as said by other reviews, a history of horror is as close as you'll come and also a great cd. I personally prefer these recordings to the original. They are enhanced and sound scarier and more haunting. My personal favorite is Halloween, others ones I like are the exorcist, psycho, and the x-files. Overall I love how these versions of the songs sound but it obviously isn't for everyone.

My review: 5/5 stars
