Back to Middle-earth: The Lord of the Rings Retrospective

In honor of Halloween, I made a compilation of my favorite vampiric scores. Most are from actual vampire movies, but there are some from others as well that I simply found fitting.
I used material from the complete scores for most of these works, including extended editions. 
While this certainly isn't a definitive, complete, "best of" vampire scores, this is my personal collection of favorites. I went for the "gothic horror" vibe, combining scary and regal sounds. I did not emphasize the romance of vampire stories or the really ambient stuff. Instead I tried to stay true to the idea of vampires, the scary-but-stylish. There's a good deal of action music in the second half, and I tried to use the structure of drama a bit to make it a fun listening experience.
