THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SOUNDTRACKS IN THE WHOLE SERIES! I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF HALLOWEEN FOR A FEW YEARS AND I HAVE ALL OF THE SOUNDTRACKS. THIS ONE IS RATED #2 ON MY LIST, JUST BELOW THE ORIGINAL SCORE. THE GUITAR AND DRUMS MAKE THIS SCORE A VERY EERIE BAGFUL OF TREATS! I RECCOMEND THE TRACKS: JAMIE'S ESCAPE, WATCHING MOM, IT'S RAINING RED, AND OPERATING ROOM. BUY THIS CD RIGHT NOW! IT IS SO AWESOME!

as most of you know their is a whole different kind of HalloweeN 6 out their called the "Producers cut" and it is totally different then the one that hit theatres and home video. but you can't get it anywhere. after Donald Pleasance Died in making HalloweeN: the Curse of Michael Myers. the movie changed almost completely with a new Beginning and Different plot and a way different ending and also the Score was completely different. now most of the Music in the HalloweeN: The Curse Of Michael Myers soundtrack is from the Producers cut of the film. And not even heard in the theatrical Release but still has some from the theatrical version. so if you want to hear some of the creepy music that was supposed to be then I say get this Soundtrack today!

As was the case with the scores to Halloween 4 & 5, Howarth continues to experiment with variations on Carpenter's theme. What is particularly interesting about this soundtrack is that some of the compositions never made it to the big screen. Instead, a few were actually featured on the Producer's Cut, an alternate version of the film that has become an underground classic. The inclusion of these alternate tracks provides one with a fragmentary impression of the movie's originally intended trajectory (which is certainly more desirable than the direction of the incoherent theatrical release).

Highlights of this score include the second track, which introduces a new theme to the musical milieu of Halloween. This new theme is inextricably linked to the Order of the Thorn (a Druidic cult responsible for Michael Myers' dreaded curse). It is reiterated later in the eighth track following a frenetic version of Carpenter's traditional "Shape Stalking" music. This new theme augments the traditional Halloween compositions beautifully and brings an extra dimension to the film series.

Howarth is an imaginative composer and this soundtrack showcases his inventive musicianship. It is an absolute shame that most of this music did not even make into the theatrical release.

As an avid fan of Michael Meyers and the Halloween films I can recomend it. It has all the qualities that John Carpenter brought to our ears years ago!. If you also enjoyed it then you will want to Purchase the soundtracks to 4 & 5 if you have not got them yet!.

This Cd is the only Halloween soundtrack you'll ever need. This CD takes the original scores we know and love and add gutair and drums to it. It sounds awsome. It has rock and goth! BUY IT NOW! YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a great CD. The songs are the best! This is Alan Howarth at his best. The songs couldn't be any better. I would especially reccomend the following songs:
1. Jamie's Escape (4:04)
12. Maximum Security (3:40)
13. Operating Room (7:56)
They are the best on the CD. Though it is a very hard choice considering that they are all good. If you ever get the chance --BUY THE CD! You won't regret it!

This soundtrack is really good. The Halloween Theme is good. (called "Jamie's Escape" on the CD. Nice rock guitar and drums to play the theme. The only thing that I didn't like was in the movie, when Michael is chasing Kara, the baby, and Danny out of their house across the street to Tommy's house, and in the hall at Smith's Grove when Michael walks out and sees Tommy banging on Kara's door with a fire extinguisher, is that the music in the movie has a high-pitch guitar tone, then folloed by hard drums dum, dumdum, dum, dumdum, dum, dumdum. It's cool in the movie, but on the CD, it plays it on the piano with a "ting from the bell in the background keeping the beat.

The Halloween movies is indeed my favorite horror movies around and one of the better features is the music.The music in the movies is very creepy and gothic to make any scary movie scarier.The music is moody in this version with nice.To make horror music with guitars is different but you'll still enjoy listening to it.The soundtrack also has a soung that made me jump witch was teack 10.I also found a cool sounding version of the first Halloween thehe which is on track 9 and I think it is better than the first one.

I got this soundtrack in the mail and I listened to it. Ithought that the main theme was juiced up big time and the movie'sp-cut blew away all the halloween films besides 1 and 2. Buy this cd and listen to real horror, rock, and coolness that all horror soundtrack scores are missing, buy it, you will not be sorry!!!!

This cd is amazing!!! It has all the right elements, and the Halloween theme sounds great. Also, the use of the Halloween theme is amazing, as it used more than once, but not too much. The other songs sound great, as you can picture the scenes in your head as you listen to the songs. This is an absolute must for any Halloween fan!!!
