Well used at the beginning of Phantom of the Opera. While playing, the chandelier would come right down to the front of the audience and got you ready for a pretty spectacular play.

I love Bach.
I also rarely miss an opportunity when discussing the man and his music, to wave my hand in a chopping gesture and exclaim like Radar.

Heh heh. I clicked the link. And sure enough a Halloween song came on.
It was a Toyota ad.
I see a Bad Moon Rising.
Don’t go around tonight
Well it’s bound to take your life
There’s a bad moon on the rise

Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain is the them song for Halloween Hmmm...
A 9-minute composition. Isn't there a particular part of this used for Halloween. Can't be the whole 9-minute deal, right?

I don’t know, I heard part of it and it didn’t sound familiar. Isn’t there a particular part that is more familiar for Halloween?

Don’t forget that Toccata and Fugue in D Minor recurred in the thriller “Rollerball.”
