like the song on this page, murders come with smiles..i know the first 30 something seconds of it has to come from a real composer, trying find out who it is ..cause this band sucks. or any other suggestions would be cool too. thanks<3

Answer 1

Google &quot;scary halloween music&quot;.

Answer 2

Stravinsky&#039;s &quot;Rite of Spring&quot; is one you should check out.  It&#039;s long, but really intense.

Answer 3

I don&#039;t recognize the music as being by a particular composer,it sounds like it&#039;s an organ,something similar to the theme from the Exorcist..

There again the music player on my P.C is pretty awful so maybe I&#039;m just not hearing it right..sorry I can&#039;t be any more helpful.

For classical music that is of a slightly diabolical nature I&#039;d suggest &#039;Toccata and Fugue&#039; by J.S Bach.

A very popular organ piece,used in  various horror movies.

For piano try the Mephisto Waltzes by Franz Liszt.

Oh and of course for just orchestral definitely the &#039;Night On Bald Mountain&#039; by Mussorgsky(orchestrated by Rimsky Korsakov).In fact you can even get the original piano transcription of this piece as well by Tchernov.(see the link below with Berezovsky playing it)

Answer 4

Or Saint-Saens &quot;Danse Macabre&quot;.  Even better, &quot;Funeral March for a Marionette&quot;: better known as the &quot;Alfred Hitchcock Presents&quot; theme.

Answer 5

     Check out some of Alexander Scriabin&#039;s music videos on You Tube.

      Some of magnificent, some weird, and some that are just downright &quot;scary&quot;.

                                                       Alberich

Answer 6

Orff &quot;O Fortuna&quot;

Grieg &quot;In The Hall Of The Mountain King&quot;

A bunch more here...
