@Num10ck The fun part of smashing words together are the unexpected outcomes. The monster mash has to be quintessential
Mussorgsky: Night on Bald Mountain, and maybe also Danny Elfman in the movies of Tim Burton.
@glad_cat Fantasia, too I think?
I haven't seen it yet (sorry, I'm 80 years late) but you can get a list of the songs here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasia_(1940_film)#Program.
I'm not good at music theory, but I'm sure there is a "genre" of classical music that ressemble horror movies (something like the Mozart's requiem?). Also you should look at the waterphone which is an instrument used to make weird sounds in this kind of movies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foSJstDFDfg. It's made of metal, filled with water, and you use a violin bow to play.
@glad_cat I actually built a little waterphone, and a “firephone” - I don’t reccomend either
Unrelated but you also have the glass harmonica / glass harp, the musical saw, and the theremin for weird sounds.
Toccata and Fugue in D Minor?
Saint-Saëns - Danse Macabre

@CommunityLinkFixer how did you get in here
Author here, I'd love to know as well! It just discovers communities on its own and if it sees a comment with a link it can fix, it replies.
Danse Macabre - Saint Saens is probably the most well known.
Dream of a Witches' Sabbath - Hector Berlioz
Not old but also: Devil's Dance - John Williams
