[bomp] Halloween Music Question




With Halloween coming up on Tuesday, here's a question I hope someone can  
answer...
 
Does anyone know the actual title of that piece of "spooky" music that you  
*always* hear a zillion times this time of year...You know the melody I mean,  
the most cliched "spooky" piece of music ever written...You hear it in the  
beginning of "Strychnine" by The Sonics, "Radio Clash" by the Clash, also at the 
 start of "Satan's Holiday" by The Lancasters, the Fuzztones do it on their  
Halloween album, and probably a dozen other records I won't remember until 
after  I post this. And often in sitcoms if the scene is taking place in a 
haunted  house...Like, I can easily imagine there being some episode of 'Saved By  
The Bell' where this melody is played (probably on 1980s-style-distortion  
guitar) as Screech and Zack reluctantly enter that old abandon mansion on the  
hill Slater dared them to go into, or whatever.
 
I have a hunch Black Monk is the one who'll know the answer...he's usually  
good at this kinda stuff.
