Most people will probably agree that orchestral music is the most characteristic type of horror film music (and perhaps film music in general). It has been used since the birth of the genre and even today is the most popular type of music used in horror films, thrillers, and adventure films. One reason why orchestral music is so common in horror films is probably that the open-endedness and great dynamic range of the genre allows the composer to greatly vary his compositions to follow the events in a film. Another reason could be that it is very neutral and appeals to a wide audience, but perhaps the main reason is that powerful orchestral music simply works very well when there is a need to convey emotions and set a certain mood.
i feel that horror music in this genre has the most powerful and has so efmasist on the scene bin shown and to all other genre

this is an example of the sort of classic horror film the sound give u an image of some running away i think, with the sharp quick note this also can be seen in Alfred Hitchcock film psycho" the shower seen"
films witch use a short melody as a symbol for it monster such as Halloween series, witch is about a mad killer Michael Myers. the concept in Halloween in simpler to Friday the 13th, the difference begin that the auditory symbol consist of the 3 note piano melody created by Alan Howarth and is consider one of the most recognisable horror music compositions
