Creepy piano always does it for me. It's still Halloween...
And I love Jaws too because no one will ever gorget that music, it is the musical embodiment of anticipation and unknowing terror that only the audience was aware of at first.
Which made it great.
Oh, and I like this too...

Halloween or The Exorcist
I have to say Halloween. That movie wouldn't be as scary without that music.

The music from the "Omen" movies always got to me a little. It's just evil!

“Psycho" (1960)
by Amazing Nate on November 17th, 2011
Yeah, Halloween. It really, really is. The music in Frozen is pretty eerie too (which I didn't watch the horrible crap mind you; I heard my cousin watching it, and she was so bothered by it but yet wouldn't stop watching it. She's an idiot anyway).

Nothing freaks me out more than the music from Psycho. I don't know that it would work with any other movie, but it is so fitting and adds so much to that movie.
Hitchcock himself said, "33% of the effect of Psycho was due to the music."
The score, composed by Bernard Herrmann, is played entirely by stringed instruments.
...CREEPY!

Barneys theme song scares me!!! half to death it like its asking you to shoot yourself

"The Exorcist". . . . . .hands down!
by Evildeadexorcist on March 6th, 2009
I hate to sound cliche but the Halloween Theme has been and always will be my favorite. But, I also like the theme to the original Amityville Horror.

the haloween music i had it as a ringtone on my mobile once freaked me out lol

Music? It doesn't creep me. Visuals creep me!
by Zach_K8803 on March 16th, 2011
I would have to say the Halloween theme and the Psycho theme, those are the only ones that have even made me even a little scared so far.

The Horror of Dracula!!! I paid 25 cents at the State theater in Cincinnati, Ohio to see the introductory scripts. Fear said,"time to go"!

The Omen trilogy, definitely. It's like a Gregorian chant, but with a Satanic twist. And it's worth Googling the lyrics -- the Latin plus the English translation.
by mtndewman44 on November 3rd, 2009
Jaws was a good one.
by jls on September 9th, 2009
Not a film, but the theme from tales from the darkside still gives me chills. It always takes me back to my 4th grade summer and staying up late at night to get scarred silly.

Listening to Poet and the Pendulum soundtrack gets me the creeps but it sounds contemporary too with rock
by Toni Girl on September 7th, 2009
Boogy man!! And yes children signing when you know some is about to die with erry music!!
by Symbeline on August 21st, 2009
Maybe Chariot of Pumpkins from Halloween III. It's a bit unnerving. (The movie itself is pretty laughable though.)
But the one that creeps me out the most is from Invasion of the Body Snatchers. One of the songs in there is total soul rape. More sci fi than horror, but yeah.
by limes'n'love on August 21st, 2009
friday the 13th theme..
i guess it's because it is upbeat so it just adds to the suspense :P

Young Frankestein. The hideous skeleton in the coffin grasping the box for dear life.

"The Omen" -- the entire musical score
"Psycho" - - the entire musical score
"Alien" - - the entire score (sci-fi/horror)
"Coma" - - the entire score ( and, so cool, composer Jerry Goldsmith went way out there in my opinion - -there is no background musical score for about the entire first half of movie and from then on, the music almost never stops. ) again, sci-fi, I guess
+5
Do Hitchcock movies still scare you?
