#258 It's Almost Halloween, Top-5 Frightening Tracks

Music Works is a London based company that "Makes Music Work For You". In other words, they search and license music for instore purposes. With Halloween vastly approaching, Music Works together with media researchers EMR wanted to find out what songs people find truly horrifying.
Now I don't see how any retailer would like to frighten their customers, but here's their top-5 nonetheless:

5. Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells

In the Netherlands commonly known as the music you hear when the Baron and his bad guys are about to so something evil to Bassie and Adriaan.

4. Charles Bernstein - Nightmare On Elm Street

Not only a scary movie and a very scary sound track, Nightmare on Elmstreet is also the acting debut of Johnny Depp who is frighteningly awesome.

3. John Williams - Jaws

I guess anyone could have seen this Shark coming from a mile away.

2. Sunn O))) - Cursed Realms Of Winterdemons

I never figured they'd test Sun O))) for this, but it makes sense.


1. George Crumb - Black Angels

The clear number one, 28% of all respondents found George Crumb’s ‘Black Angels’ the most terrifying sound track. While it doesn’t stem from a film, it does have all the hallmarks of a horror soundtrack.

To see all test results go here.
