Sound Research: music inspiration

Typical horror film music is quite always the conventional spooky and haunting melody which sets the mood of the film. My group and I have been looking into films which use the scariest and most haunting music soundtracks to find inspiration for our opening sequence.
Almost immediately, we came across quite a few peices of music which would be fitting to our ideas.

The film Insidious uses a song called "Tip Toe"

The high pitched vocals featured in this song are a convention of music which is usually featured in horror movies because it connotes a supernatural presence or alternatively a spooky old fashioned vibe around the film.

With a lot of thinking we decided that this song would be perfect for our opening sequence because like our idea, Insidious is a psychological horror film full of enigma which is exactly which we want to inject into our editing, so our final product is as thought provokingly frightening as possible.

However we want to experiment with layering sounds: having this song playing with the noises of screams and violins dubbed in to make it sound more twisted and scary. We also plan to speed the song up and slow it down as the opening sequence progresses to show the climatic points and the more sinister, haunting parts.

I personally believe that the soundtrack of a movies title sequence is extremely important because it can either reveal the films mood or deter the audience away from what they think it actually could be. For this opening sequence in particular I believe that this song with editing is perfect for our opening sequence.
