Mysterious and haunting, this darken soundtrack is easy to listen to as Danny Elfman did another excellent job of conducting a dark and beautiful score. Some of it is fast paced while some of the other tracks are slow paced, giving the score a balance. Danny Elfman was perfect for the job on this score, for he has composed a lot of scores that "The Wonderful" Johnny Depp was in. The music is a little simular to the Casper 1995 original score, a haunting and melodic score. This soundtrack is highly recommended along with the other eerie scores of Mr. Danny Elfman. 1.

This is an occasion when the music is better than the movie. Elfman and Burton make quite a team, but the composer wins this one.

I purchased this soundtrack for my niece's Birthday party. She wanted to have a Willie Wonka party. We used the soundtrack for background music. It came still sealed in the original plastic. I was well-pleased with the CD.
Magical music! Danny Elfman have done an amazing job on composing this soundtrack. Amazingly well done! The tracks just carry you away to a magic place!
I really loved the movie and the songs so I decided to buy the CD too. The songs are so funny and the lyrics are crazy. Lyricks are included on the leaflet. This CD always gets me at good mood.
