I find that the end (credit) music of Escape From Alcatraz and The French Connection kind of fill me with dread. Anyone have any soundtrack music that kind of sets them off like that?

Sleep Safe and Warm - did you know that was Mia Farrow singing? I agree, really ominous and creepy.

Mark Isham's music during the abduction scene in Fire in the Sky does it for me.

That was especially distressing. I had nightmares about that movie for weeks.

This, from the ballroom scene in The Shining: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fN-Xjpd-qE

I don't know why, because I like the music of the 1920s and 1930s. In the film there was something otherworldly about it. Music being played by dead people, perhaps?
