I am so dissapointed not to find the one piece I was truly hoping would be on this CD. The great theme from "Broken Arrow", which was used throughout "Scream 2" as "Dewey's Theme". Duane Eddy's great guitar sounded so strangely perfect in this context...it just made the film for me. Marco Beltrami's score is lovely, but Hans Zimmer really nailed this one. And let's have more of Duane Eddy on film soundtracks in the future!!!

This CD is unbeatable, but where is everything? There's a lot of stuff missing and the tracks are really short! Cici Creepies is pretty scary, but it gets kinda boring. They should have had the part where she's being chased! And what about Casey's death? It's not on here along with others like Tatum's death and the big scene at the end of Scream 2. (my favorite ending in any movie)However, what Beltrami lacks in length makes up with quality. I like the way he has really low brass and really high trumpets! My favorite track on here is Love Turns Sour. It gives a real strong sense of fear. This song was also used in the car scene on Halloween H20. I would strongly recommend this along with his other masterpiece, MIMIC.

This is an excellent CD - but do not read Paul's review below as he's sees fit to spoil the first scream film by nonchalantly remininding us who the killer is! These scores are great, but, even with the inclusion of cues from 2 SCREAM films, they still can't give us a disc with more than 30 min on it!

This CD is kinda disappointing. They left out so much stuff

I have searched high and low for this CD, I can finally listen to most of the scores from the Scream and Scream 2 films. However, there were a few scores not included in the CD, and the guitar substitute for Dewey's Theme in Scream 2 just doesn't give as much justice. But alas, I can still watch the films for that. Overall, if you love suspenseful and meaningful scores, Marco has given a great performance.

The scores from Scream and Scream 2 are some of the best ever composed for a horror film. But I was very dissapointed to find that ALL of my favourite tracks from the original Scream were missing from this CD. There arn't enough songs from either of the films, and the songs that are on here arn't long enough. But it's still got a lot of cool stuff on here. "Trouble in Woodsboro" , "Love Turns Sour" and "NC-17" are wicked tracks. This should have been a double CD, with a CD devoted to each film. I hope they release a Vol. 2 with more music from these great horror films.

This has got to be the mother of all bad soundtrack releases! The score itself is fantastic. Why I gave this album 1 star is because it is a 2 scores on 1 CD, and its total is 30:00! This is not the fault of Varese Sarabande... Let's just hope an expanded release surfaces some day. It's doubtful, but one can still hope.

I would suggest not picking this up unless you are a die hard fan of these scores. And the SCREAM 3 album ain't too much better either.

The scoring of these films is fantastic and now they're available to hear. My only complaint is that the C.D. could have more clips and a longer length on each song. For example Cici Creepies didn't have enough to it, they could have extended it to the original length of the scene. I highly reccomend the song; Love Turns Sour. It's the sound booth scene from Scream 2 and it's wonderful.

When I first picked up this CD to see which tracks were on there, I was shocked to find none of the best songs from the movies weren't on there, like when Sidney gets attacked the first time in Scream 2, or when CiCi gets attacked in Scream 2. Many others from both films also. And none of the songs were long enough. (some didn't need to be on there at all) I was utterly shocked at how sorry this score soundtrack was. Hardly any of the best songs from either film were on this soundtrack. I actually liked the album to Scream 2 better.

This compilation disc of the scores from Scream and Scream 2 was a really good idea, because Marco Beltrami is a talented composer whose creepy music made the movies that much more effective. My only complaint is that some of the music from Scream 2 on this CD should've been in the actual film but wasn't.
