Album information and release
[edit | edit source]Halloween Music Collection was released on the same day as Midnight Syndicate's The Dead Matter: Motion Picture Soundtrack and the horror movie, The Dead Matter which Midnight Syndicate produced. In an interview with Wired Magazine, Edward Douglas called the album "a great disc to start with if you're looking to try one out." [2] In an interview with the Akron Beacon Journal he added that the name of the album came about because the album "was perfect for Halloween events."[3]
The album was included in a 3-disc set along with The Dead Matter: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack and The Dead Matter DVD, and offered for sale at Hot Topic stores in the US.[4][5]
Reception
[edit | edit source]Gregory Burkart of Fearnet.com, in a review of The Dead Matter 3-disc set, called the album a great place to start for those not familiar with the band adding that he felt it represented their entire career with music "ranging from sweeping symphonic overtures to gothic ambient pieces, complete horror audio environments, and a bombastic church-organ solo."[6]
