5.0 out of 5 stars What a cool soundtrack!, April 26, 2000

There is really no other word for the soundtrack to "House on Haunted Hill" than cool. Composed of various melodies, frightening noises and sound effects, and an overall tone of eeriness, Don Davis' score fits perfectly into the film, and makes for a very pleasant, if not creepy, listening experience. Track 1, Main Title, sets the tone at the beginning of the album with its pulsating organ beats and low string orchestra. Other tracks, such as Tracks 5 and 11, suggest a more set back and relaxed atmosphere, while most of the remaining tracks have a feel of suspense, terror and fright to them. On a special note, Track 16, Soiree a Saturation, is a wonderful mixture of ghostly voices, synthesizers and deep bass, enough to make anyone go crazy. A horror soundtrack that ranks among soundtracks to "The Mummy" and "The Haunting," this soundtrack will not disappoint fans of the film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very scary and spooky!, December 10, 1999

I fell in love with the movie when I first saw it. So I had to see it twice. Then I went and bought the cd. I listened to it, and I really enjoyed the spooky music. The best track is "Misty Misogamy". Sounds really nice. If you like a mix of scary and beautiful music, then this cd is for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars End Title Song?, December 25, 1999

By 

Jr. Collin E Rayment (Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario) - See all my reviews

I bought this cd since I liked the end title song, called sweet dreams. But Eurythmics did not make it, Marlyn Manson revised it. In their album called The Last Tour something. If you want very scary, and I mean very scary music, this cd is for you. But, if you just like the end titles song, then go and get the Marlyn Manson single. BUt, this cd has every bit of music that was in the movie. I do like it anyways.
