A part of the thrill in watching films or shows of the horror genre is listening to their ominous minor-key soundtracks or theme music. A YouTube user going by Muted Vocals has reworked a few iconic theme songs from popular horror films and shows Halloween, The Exorcist, The X-Files, Saw and A Nightmare on Elm Street in major keys (raising the third and sixth notes of the minor scale by one semitone).
