i already have the one for a creepy scene and for a chase scene, but i need one for the beginning which is when a girl goes to her friends house and they start dancing etc then go make/eat food in the kitchen :P

anyways it needs to have very few (or no) vocals. PLEASE HELP WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO DANCE TO IT DDD:::

Answer 1

HAve you heard Night on the Bald Mountain, by Moussorgsky? Might be a possibility.

Answer 2

I guess it depends on what kind of dance you wish to do, but animators over the years, including Walt Disney, portrayed visits by the undead using the music of Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov.  I'm thinking specifically of Night on Bare Mountain. (sometimes translated "Bald Mountain").  Its very dramatic.  The full score portrays a peaceful sleepy village in the mountain's shadow, then the dramatic rising of the undead who dance around the mountain, then the dawn and a return to peace.  If you can rent it, see Disney's Fantasia which presents the piece quite well.

You might also find inspiration in Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite, specifically the part called In the Hall of the Mountain King.

Also, Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saëns.

One other creepy piece that comes to mind is "March to the Scaffold" by Hector Berlioz. If I remember right, its part of his Symphonie Fantastique.

Chances are, you can find snippets of these works on the internet.
