Well used at the beginning of Phantom of the Opera. While playing, the chandelier would come right down to the front of the audience and got you ready for a pretty spectacular play.

I've always thought of 'Danse Macabre' as the song for halloween.

No, Toccata and Fugue in D Minor is the theme song of spooky castles and house. Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain is the them song for Halloween.

Don’t forget that Toccata and Fugue in D Minor recurred in the thriller “Rollerball.”

Sorry ... to me, Toccata and Fugue in D minor is, and will always be, the first movement from "Fantasia" ...

Lots of diminished chords on a pipe organ = sinister mood music.
Toccata and Fugue are absolute music, not mood music.
But westerners still hear them as “scary.”
