    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...

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

    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!

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    "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
