With the Halloween season coming right up I thought I'd start this thread. For me it's the DARK SHADOWS theme, it has always creeped me out. What about you guys?

No music creeps me out, but I'd like to nominate Shirley Walker's theme to "Final Destination"[.

I think the creepiest theme by faaaaar is "The TrainScene "by Jerry Fielding from JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN.

I would say the murder music from In Cold Blood is totally chilling.

Also, "The Last Deadfall" from Deadfall.

Suspiria, hands down. Nothing comes close IMHO.

This gives Goldsmith’s “Ave Satani” a run for its money IMO…

gotta go with old faithful- Dies Irae as presented in The Shining. Carlos' rendition with Rachel Elkind's eerie vocals is creepy as all get out.

Runners Up
Amityville Horror- Schifrin
The Omen- Goldsmith

Honourable Mentions:
The Conjuring- Bishara
Evil Dead- Banos

Anything by Goblin.
It's their stock-in-trade and they do their thing really well.

Gil Melle's theme for seasons 1 & 2 of NIGHT STALKER.

I also find his theme for KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER quite creepy... embarrassment

Herrmann's "Psycho" has many creepy moments. As do his scores for "Sisters" "Twisted Nerve". Well he's really the master of this IMHO.

"The House of Pain" from Bennett Salvay's score to Jeepers Creepers contains one of my favourite uses of the, IINM, contrabassoon to chill the bone (beginning at 1:00 mark).

I agree. For me too the award as the creepiest theme goes to Suspiria by Goblin.

The theme for the old b/w TV series, One Step Beyond used to creep me out back in the early 60s. I doesn't sound so creepy to me now.
