  • String sections seem to generally evoke these emotions. But any instrument can be spooky. Brass instrument with the mouthpieces removed can produce some really peculiar sounds. Bela Bartok wrote a piece of music called "Music For Celeste, Percussion and Strings" which is very spooky. It was used in The Shining.

  • French horn! Never trust a girl that plays the french horn!!
