Here's a link to Dracula and more, I'm sure you'll love it:

Yeah, I sure do. Many thanks for the link; I've added it to favorites already. To be miasmically nitpicky, I did notice the article said Herrmann "conducted" the music, not "composed" it, and the first piece they play was Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, but I forwarded the show to some other music and it did sound like it could be Herrmann's. When I get some time I'll listen to the whole thing...maybe Halloween night after trick or treating's done.
