Horror Movie Music- Examples

Horror Films generally tend to be slow paced and eerie, with a sudden loud noise to break the tention sometimes, some horror film's music may be faster paced and creepy instruments like violin, but slow and eerie is usually the case.

this clip appears to be a little girl singing to music which adds to creepy atmosphere.
 
Here is an example of a louder and faster theme for a Horror film which edges onto Thriller type music. This is the theme music of "Saw":

                                     
As you can hear, these two themes are very different to one another, mainly reflecting on the threat in the film, while "The Ring" is very mysterious, "Saw" is very extreme and gets straight to action.
