Customer Reviews:
Great compilation - and that's just the first half........2005-09-14
Elfman pioneered the sound that drives today's movie adaptations of comic-books and darker-themed children's stories. Side-One kicks things off with a rollicking, hyper-cartoonish theme from the first Pee-Wee movie - the one where Pee-Wee searches for his beloved bike. Elfman's theme contains layers of different rides - on tightropes, highways, in the middle of a NASCAR rally - which rudely yet melodically crash into each other.
The Batman entry actually contains several pieces - the opening credits, the extended sequence in the cathedral and the climax - which show Batman's darkened extreme at its "Frank Miller" best. (Dir. Tim Burton couldn't sustain the mood in the next sequel, and the franchise took a turn towards the camp of the TV series with the next 2 movies.)
The theme for "Dick Tracy" is perhaps the most romantic on this disc, a quality that surpasses the theme's comic-book origins, but ends on an ironic note that's pure Elfman.
"Beetlejuice" (opening & closing credits) gives Elfman's childish ID a chance to stretch its legs, or in this case, slam-dance.
"Nightbreed" is an enigma wrapped in a dark mystery, and that's just Elfman's score. Elfman's work on this movie is as good as the movie wasn't, having a more powerful narrative than the script - easily the best track on the entire disc, one likely to exceed the movie in its dose of chills.
"Darkman" doesn't quite rise to the occasion, though the score may be hobbled by the movie itself, which seldom surpassed one of the many "Batman" clones of the early 1990's. "Darkman" (the movie, I mean) excelled as a parody of many comicbook staples (the wronged hero, the relentless villain, the scientific breakthrough with just one flaw), but not enough to escape being largely anonymous. Within those constraints, it's still a moving if scary piece.
When is Elfman not like Elfman? When he was in the mid-late `80's and scored "Back to School" (A Rodney Dangerfield vehicle) and "Midnight Run". Horns in "School" bring it closer to Elfman's over-the-top style, while "Run" sounds like a love-theme for the run-down, out-of-the-way parts of America that seldom appear in Elfman-movies. "Run" is a fun score for a fun movie - it's nothing like Elfman's previous work but it perfectly captures the on-the-road-without-a-map craziness of the movie.
To this day, I don't know why I never ventured to Side-two, but it's irrelevant. Even half this disc is worth it
The best of Elfman!!!.......2005-09-05
I'd recommend this to anyone who likes film music, or everyone who is even the tiniest bit an Elfman fan. It's amazing!

Customer Reviews:
Welcome, kiddies! Would you like to dance to death?.......2003-11-01
"Cutting Cards," with its plucked violin and cello strings, makes me picture someone in a tense meeting with a 1920's gangster (someone like Al Capone). "Loved to Death" can best be described as a soap opera romance heightened by champagne and a dangerous affair (as indicated by the track's saxophone). "Dead Wait's" primal drums and rattles set a mysterious aura in the wild, sweltering jungles of South Africa. "The Ventriloquist's Dummy" seems to be set in an abandoned carnival, where dolls and toy soldiers come to life and turn into malevolent monsters. "The Man Who Was Death," with its vibrating rockabilly guitar and piano, is the perfect score for a Wild West saloon. "The Reluctant Vampire's" sparkling harpsicord makes me imagine 18th century France, where aristocratic bloodsuckers enjoy many nights of luxury and decadence. Finally, "Deadline's" smooth jazz reminds me of a 1940's film noir, one in which a crime is being solved by a gumshoe detective.
Last but not least, kiddies, television's Host with the Most, the Crypt Keeper (John Kassir) closes the album with "The Crypt Jam," a unique, hip-hop party track guaranteed to make EVERY DAY Halloween. Accompanied by dancing ghouls and skeletons, the Keeper cackles a rap that invites everyone to an unforgettable monster bash. What I can say in the end is that "Tales from the Crypt" is worth hearing all the way through. It will make you want to Trick or Treat all year long!

Great compilation.......2007-02-07
Good memories spoilt.......2006-12-27
While there are a couple of admirable tributes to classic horror theme songs, the cheesy vocals on Addams Family, Ghostbusters, Monster Mash, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, Beware of the Blob and Thriller relegate this disc to the trash bin.
Instead of this, I'd recommend Nosferatu (James Bernard), Chiller (Cincinnati Pops), Fantastic Journey (Cincinnati Pops, also - more SciFi than horror, though) and Classics From the Crypt (RCA Victor). All available here.

Deliciously Twisted.......2000-12-20
If that tidbit made you laugh, this album is for you.
The Cryptkeeper delivers his pun-laced humor, mixed with not-horrible singing, incredibly hilarious lyrics, and that trademarked cackle that sends a chill right down my spine every time I hear it. I can't help but make this my first holiday CD each year. Who could resist that "Saint Nick Rap"?? (That reminds me... anyone know where I can reach the Dallas Cowgirls? My friend Jack wanted some special cheer.) Oh, my sides are aching just thinking about this horrifyingly humorous holiday hoot.
Again, not for everyone -- but if you're looking for an atypical holiday album with deliciously twisted lyrics... then look no further.

A review of C-BO's Tales From The Crypt........2003-06-20
My 3 favorite song from this album are 1,2, and 4. Jaccin' And Assasin' isn't even a song. It's made with sound effects and is only 8 seconds long, but it's a good one. Murder That He Ritt is a spectacular track. He raps real good on it and there's not excessive cursing on it, even though I don't mind that sort of thing. Hard Core is a great piece, the best on here, that has a satanic beat to it, hence the title.
In conclusion, this is a good album by C-BO and if you're new to him then this is the way to go. I also admire the cover art and the fact that they put the time limits on the side of the song titles on the labels. Thank you for taking the time and generosity to read my review.

Album Description
Deep from the heart of Tex-Mex comes these early nuggets by His Royal Weirdness and his first serious edition of The Crowns cut in '79 in the basement of an Austin Texas radio station. Saucy dance music! What gems- no nonsense torpedoes with Carnival Kris Cummings' Farfisa organ (she studied with Professor Longhair & Huey Piano Smith). The wonder of the tape is the undiluted Tex-Mex essence of Carrasco's sound. Carrasco has never done it this hard. Down and Dirty."David Fricke (Melody Maker)
