A good budget horror collection

"As a budget horror collection I was pleased. I purchased Themes of Horror I and II and both were good. The only complaints I had were that I didn't think the Exorcist theme (Tubular Bells) was the best version I have heard. I don't know, I just didn't like some of the percussion or something. Also I was pretty surprised to listen to the Halloween theme. It started out with an instrumental version of Mr. Sandman, which was alright, just rather unexpected. Then it kicked into the regular Halloween theme which like Tubular Bells was not the greatest version. I already had Tubular Bells on the Pure Moods CD, and the Halloween theme from Halloween: the Best of John Carpenter, so I wasn't as dissappointed with the different versions as I might have otherwise been. As a whole though both CDs make for some good Horror background music, collecting a lot of music it may otherwise be hard to find, and do it at a good price."
