I think many of you can recognize the following theme music for Halloween (I do not celebrate Halloween). The music is a famous classical piece composed by J.S. Bach, Toccata and fugue in D minor, Yet - very few know the original piece. Many people associate the theme with scarry music/horror movie.
This original piece was composed in the key of D minor - Bach composed the piece for organ.
Very often, composer arrange/compose a piece in minor key to create a special "mood", in this case, it is rather thrilling and dramatic. That's why it's used in many scarry movie that are associated with Halloween music.
One of the other piece that is associated with Halloween music was composed by Ed Grieg - The Hall Of The Mountain King. I think even Harry Potter films used it :)
