creepy ass music...

i'm looking fo rsamples of creepy sounding music to use for background an intro tracks .... what are your faves?
this is the one i like best....candyman theme

Minute of Decay by Manson
Earth Died Screaming or God's Away on Business by Tom Waits
A Night on Bald (or Bare) Mountain by Mussorgsky
Double Barrel Prayer by Diamanda Galas

Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield, (can't find a workihg link at the moment).

yeah, i just listened to that on one of my moms's " Moodscapes" discs she bought off of tv. i kinda like it.

also:
Harry Partch
assorted Zorn records
Carl Orff
Skeleton Key

Britney Spears??

No?

Seriously though, you should look at bands like Cradle of Filth, Sabbat, Candlemass and other metal bands. They tend to have some pretty 'spooky' songs.

i guess i wasn't clear , i need spooky sounding cassical/ piano/ organ/funeralhome/deathmarch/ horror movie soundtracky stuff, for intros to metal and necro-ish sounding hip hop tracks i'm working on.... i don't wanna use some other bands track as an intro...
i found the track from Phantasm too, i likes it.

What's the difference between an orchestra and a pop band?

none really, i just don't want to use a song that another metal band has out as an intro. i'd like to do something kind of original, if that is at all possiblr these days, or use a different style of music that the listener may not have been exposed to, but yet may find interesting.

the soundtrack to

Herschell Gordon Lewis was a b movie filmamaker who did all his own music wih his son...organ, bells, et al very creepy and very few people have heard it...that is why I posted it Same with Harry Partch-he created his own instruments and did lots of field recordings .....

Alright, I can appreciate widening other people's experience, but how is putting a sample from an orchestral score different from putting a sample from a metal song in there? Is metal more original than an orchestral score?

i just don't want to use a metal song as an intro to ANOTHER metal song, i don't want the track as the base for the song, just an interlude to what i already have recorded. i like to use horror movie tracks, or strong sounding classical to lead into a death/ grind metal type song, wich is what i'm mixing right now....... and as for the beat tracks for the hip hop stuff, i really like the sound of Necro's style, that's what i'm shooting for..more or less.

i'm looking into some of this stuff right now, i like what i've found so far, hopefully the record shop will have some of his stuff on wax.

One word, Des-

Hellraiser.

how in the hell did i not think of that one?

look into italian cinema soundtracks

good idea, i'll have to dig out my old fangoria mags and get some good references... the only good one i can remember is " Castle Creep"

i just wen tthrough my movie collection looking for stuff, "Conan the barbarian" has some good stuff, as does "Children of the Corn" ," interveiw with a vampire" and " Serpent and the Rainbow".....

Well why didn't you just say so?!?!

i just did.
i'm too hopped up on cold medicine to think straight today....

Yeah, i thought it might be right up the alley you needed....If they have none at the local shop....Smog Veil records has a real nice release of his on vinyl ( blood splatter) no less....and they are a good distro shop to deal with...

Martin Denny works pretty well.
