Spooky Music suggestions

[Blastin]

So, I'm starting a new Hunters game and I'm looking for spooky/scary mood music suggestions.
Currently I have soundtracks for Signs, Last temptation of Christ, and Diablo II.
Any other good suggestions to get my players in the right mood?

Mark CMG has been collecting music threads here:

My list is a little out of date but I always like:

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) Soundtrack
Hamllet Soundtrack (the one with mel gibson)
Hellraiser Soundtrack
Crieg The peer gynt suite---some parts are pretty ominous

I'll have to rumage around and see if I can find some more.

Soundtrack for Sleepy Hollow is great, and extremely creepy.

Also, you might want to check out Midnight Syndicate - they have been churning out music for RPGs for quite a while now and almost all of it is REALLY dark.

Play whatever floats your boat.

Just have a looping track going constantly along with it that is just infrasound running from 15 to 20 hertz.

Amazon MP3 collection- [ame=http://www.amazon.com/99-Darkest-Pieces-Classical-Music/dp/B0048NUUS2/ref=sr_shvl_album_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1308554375&sr=301-1]99 Darkest Pieces of Classical Music[/ame] $5.99 for 99 very good atmospheric pieces. One of the most worthwhile MP3 purchases that I have ever made.

My thanks to BryonD for posting about this collection, way back when.

Nox Arcana and Midnight Syndicate do a bunch of the kinds of music that you hear in haunted houses. So, it's certainly dark, but a bit on the melodramatic and predictable side. Perfect for background stuff, but if you actually stop and listen to it, it'll probably put you to sleep. I most recommend Nox's Transylvania, The Necronomicon, and Grimm Tales, and from Midnight Syndicate, Vampyre is my favorite--although The Dead Matter (Cemetery Gates--not to be confused with the other Dead Matter which is the soundtrack they did for some b-movie) is really good too. For that matter, both have recently released or are about to have released a new album for the 2011 Halloween season. Can't comment on either yet.

The Wolfman, the newish soundtrack by Danny Elfman, is one of my favorite creepy soundtracks lately, but it's definitely got a Victorian horror vibe to it that might not be perfect for modern horror a la Hunter.

For that, I'd maybe look up the soundtracks for Constantine and End of Days. Those are my go-tos for "overtly creepy."

Dracula and Sleepy Hollow are both pretty good, but you might want to edit the tracklist; they've both got a few "romantic" themes mixed in with the darker "horror" themes.

Thief Deadly Shadows was referred to me on here a while back.

Edited to add - don't pick anything too famous, or else you risk the players being distracted by the music (i.e., the theme from The Exorcist or Jaws)

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone, and the links.
