Not spooky per se, but dark, evil, n heavy Holst's Mars suite would be cool to add to the list above. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s8EwBTQhl3Y&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Ds8EwBTQhl3Y Have you ever seen an Orchestra do that live?

I have played the Holst before, that's truly a classic! Another good one (we played this one last year) is one you will remember from chorus, Jeff.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdIpoE2LEps and my personal favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ty7nD6H029I

Bach (I have to say, that's one hell of an organ in that video). For a composer with such a significant percentage of the body of his artistic work being church/religious music, I find it quite ironic that one of his most recognizable compositions is inextricably linked to the spooky horror genre. I love good church music, Bach composed some of the best, and many of his compositions for organ transpose well into fully orchestrated pieces, this being among them.

Bach, as some people know, was really known as a kick-ass technical organist back in the day...the man with the "flying feet"....and didn't get really famous until much later, and posthumously... I love the scene in "20,000 leagues" with James Mason playing that particular piece you mentioned. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq8k8Rsd9oY

There is stuff by Xenaxis or Lygeti that would probably cause people to run out, screaming.

"What is this, that stands before me. Figure in black, points his finger at me." None more evil indeed. 8-o Jeff btd
