Line 2:
* [[Star Wars]]
** [[Vader Breath|HHHHHHGGHHH-PHRRRRRR.]] [[Oh Crap|HHHHHGGGHHH-PHHHHRRRR.]]
** Everything about Jabba's palace; the screams of possibly sentient droids being tormented by a sociopath, Oola's screams of terror as she's devoured by the Rancor, those damned gates opening up for R-2 and 3PO, even Jabba's distant and derisive laughter can be''terrifying'' with the right timing. All of these are a testament to Ben Burt's sound design, and one damned good screamer.
* In ''[[The Dark Knight]]'', the Joker's [[Leitmotif]] plays whenever he is working his mischief or his nefarious plans are coming to fruition. The "music" is [[Psycho Strings|a single sustained violin chord]] followed by discordant strings that grow into a crescendo. The result is extremely unsettling, but often surprisingly subliminal.
** Hans Zimmer apparently used some unique methods to achieve the sound, like striking razor blades against cello strings.
Line 59:
* Clicking noises and baby monitors. A winning combination in ''[[Signs]]''.
* ''[[The Thing (film)|The Thing]]'': The blood test scene where MacReady casually puts a heated wire to a tray of Palmer's blood and the blood explodes with a hideous screeching sound. It should be hilarious but it's horrifying.
** The scene where the lights go out in Fuchs' room (it only attacks in the dark) and as he walks to the door with a candle, a shadow darts by with a sound that...I can't even describe, it's so alien.
** The Bennings-Thing's scream. It still disturbs many fans of the movie. And in some fanfics, it causes a reaction of horror in the individual cells of any non-Thing life form.
** The combinations of sounds from the Jed/Kennel Thing. Especially that insect droning.
Line 109:
* The blaster beam sound associated with V'ger in ''[[Star Trek: The Motion Picture|Star Trek the Motion Picture]]'' tends to be this.
* Also from ''[[Star Trek: The Motion Picture|Star Trek the Motion Picture]]'', Lori Ciani's death scream in the transporter.
* The repetitive organ music that plays for about four minutes at the end of ''[[Monty Python and
** For such a silly, entertaining movie, the eerie howls that can occasionally be heard in the background (such as when Galahad's limping towards Castle Anthrax) are genuinely disturbing. Can you imagine being in the rain, wounded, locked outside a castle, listening to those mournful howls come closer and closer?
** The jingle at the end of ''[[The Naked Gun]]'' credits has the same effect.
