[A Nightmare on Elm Street] The song from A Nightmare on Elm Street

It’s the first installment in the American horror film series A Nightmare on Elm Street from 1984, which features the killer Freddy.

As expected, the high notes in this piece are striking, but the continuous low drone is also frightening.

It’s a theme song that heightens the sense of fear by creating an atmosphere that something is about to happen.
