NEED ADVICE - seeking "ghostly waltz"

Hello -
I'm seeking soundtracks that have what I'm calling a "ghostly waltz" sound. I've found a
couple, but I'm not really turning up much, that has that old Victorian mansion haunted
house kind of "swirling" sound to it. Can anyone offer some advice?

I afraid I too am looking. So far I have found very little. The Rasmus have a song called last waltz. There are two waltz's from the Donnie Darko Soundtrack and of course there is Saint Saens Danse Macabre.

It may not be what you're looking for, but one of my all-time favourite "dark waltzes" is Danny Elfman's main titles for "Edward Scissorhands." And while it's not from a soundtrack, I might suggest the "grand waltz' from Prokofiev's "Cinderella."

Good luck!

Wait, wait, I have more information...

The gentleman you seek is Mr. Verne Langdon, pipe organist and harpsicord player, "Master of the Macabre." Several of his CDs are available at Amazon.com. Try "Waltz of the Ghouls" for your haunted mansion waltz.
