It should be easy to tell from the movies and TV shows listed whether or not you'd be interested in this collection. I'm a fan of Elfman's (in the soundtrack sense) so I liked this but there was so much music and the range is so broad that I didn't love it. this is one of those CDs that I had to make my own compilation from so I could listen to just the parts I liked without skipping around too much.

Danny Elfman's "Music for a Darkened Theater" is a brilliantly crafted masterpiece of music. His compositions hold a certain eerie theme, which makes them captivating. His music, ranging from Black Beauty to Edward Scissorhands, projects both fear and beauty, happiness and deceit. "Music for a Darknened Theater" was definitely worth the price I paid for it. Anyone interested in instrumental/soundtrack music will love the phenomenal creations of Danny Elfman.

Elfman is amazing! I'm still waiting to get the first volume, and from the second album's scores, i know it will be worth the wait. He is my favorite composer for his haunting melodies! My favorite tracks were the EDWARD SCISSORHANDS themes, NIGHTMARE BEFORE X-MAS, BLACK BEAUTY and DOLORES CLAIBORNE! ALL of them kept me listening for more. I recommend this album not only for elfman fans, but anyone who enjoys a composers music who can feel the talent in his albums! Great job danny!

I tried for several days to download the "Black Beauty" soundtrack and after getting one song, decided there must be a better way! Not really wanting to part with upwards of $50 on the CD at EBay, I decided the price of this 2-disc cd (plus shipping) was worth it....and was it ever! Now I must confess I've only listened to the Black Beauty tracks, but if (like me) you love this movie and its music, then this is the CD for you. I wish there were more songs but the seven here are beautiful. I intend to get around to listening to the rest of this collection at some point, but for now I am just thrilled to finally have some of that amazing soundtrack from Black Beauty.

This Album Came Out 6 Years Ago, And Volume One came out 12 years ago. So with that Said Where is Volume Three? For All of you who Say the Sommersby music is bad, your sadly mistaken. It is the Most Wonderful Music ever composed by Danny Elfman ever. After Hearing this Music Over and Over, I had to buy the Soundtrack, but What's weird is I didn't like the soundtrack as much. For some reason the music sounded better on this Album. Yes I even think it's better music than Edward Scissorhands, call me crazy, but it is. Anyways with that said I'll get back to the Album. As Always the Tim Burton Movie themes are always the Best, with Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, & the Nightmare Before Christmas being among them. Dolores Claiborne is Haunting. To Die For is fun and I love the Guitar bits by Danny himself. Black Beauty is number 3 in `the Dramatic & Beautiful Film Scores from Danny Elfman Catagory' right after `Sommersby' & `Edward Scissorhands'. Mission Impossible is way better than Hans Zimmer score for Mission Impossible 2. It's Just More Exciting and Adventurous. Dead Presidents is Aight. Freeway is Bearable, but not the greatest. Shruken Heads is funny as hell. The Television Odds `n Ends are always fun too. The Amazing Stories Music from the episodes `Family Dog' and `Mummy, Daddy' are playfull and fun. The Nike Commercial is Unexpectedly clever. The Flash theme ranks right up there with `Batman' and `Superman' for all time great superhero themes, although it did sound a lot like the `Dick Tracy' theme. Try Humming both Separatly you'll see what I mean. The Pee-Wee`s Playhouse music is wonderfully weird and if you're a big fan of the `Face Like A Frog' music on the first album than you'll Digg it the most baby. Beetlejuice is a wonderful rendition of the Beetlejuice Movie theme. And the biggest treat is the `This Is Halloween' Demo all parts sung By Danny Elfman witch truly shows this mans wonderful talent for film composing and song writing. With all said and done where oh where is Volume Three Mister Elfman.
