This is one of those “Spooky classical” things that is generally entertaining but hardly anything more. It’s a good (but obvious) selection of famous “spooky” pieces, primarily from the Romantic era.

The Ex and I attended one of these types of things with the TSO one Halloween a few years ago and the selection wasn’t all that different (they just included some Bernard Hermann).

I am not really a fan of these types of collections, but at least this one has a clear, definite them to it, unlike so many others.

The CD version adds two pieces from later recording dates, FYI.
