Chip Davis, the indefatigable keyboardist who's been churning out hits under the
Mannheim Steamroller moniker since the 1970s, fires off another round of sonic scariness with
Halloween, Vol. 2: Creatures Collection. The follow-up to 2004's Halloween Monster Mix, it focuses on modernized, synth-led versions of classic themes from horror films and TV shows, such as Psycho and Dark Shadows.
Davis is best known for Christmas music, but this disc shows he can handle horrific soundscapes just as well.
