Anyone know any good mysterious or haunting music. I'm working on a multimedia project and need some background music that leaves a person feeling... haunted.
 
The Exorcist is pretty good, but may too recognizable.

The music at the beginning of "The Shining" is great.

The score for "Platoon" isn't haunting in a scary sense, but I find it haunting in a horrors of war type of way.
 
People can PM me for a few details on what I'm doing. But for the most part.. think video/photo slideshow with haunting instrumental music with a voice over in certain areas. It should turn out really cool. I'm trying to think of haunting classical music, but the only thing I have come up with is Raindrops Prelude with I think is Chopin.
 
Pink Floyd's "Run Like Hell." Most of The Wall is creepy, actually.

Also, Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter" off of Houses of the Holy. The louder it is, the creepier. Robert Plant has some wails on there that you can only hear when it's loud.

Instrumental. Oh.

I've heard all the planets are pretty haunting, Sam, but Mars especially. I have friends who have said they couldn't even listen to the movements past Mars. I'll have to look into that.

It depends on the length of your presentation or, more importantly, the length of the clip of music. "Jupiter" might not be a bad pick, either.
 
Echoes - Pink Floyd
It is pretty much an instrumental
or
Sheep - Pink Floyd
that is pretty freaky, especially when smoking weed and sitting in a candle-lit room, or so I've heard.
 
No Quarter's instrumental parts are a good call.

Also, for classical music (though it may be more foreboding than haunting) try Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring."
