Insidious and Interesting Use of Music


It is obvious how significant music is within films. When considering an interesting use of music, I immediately thought of the well-known horror film, "Insidious". This film uses an otherwise pleasant and happy tune, "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" and makes it one of the most chilling songs heard in a horror film. The song is heard numerous times throughout this film and its sequels, but the scene I chose was one of the most dichotomous uses of the song. Instead of seeing the horrifying demon sneaking around to a terrifying song, we see him working away with his sewing machine while this happy song plays. The use of this song really makes the viewers feel unsettled. It scares me every time I watch it!
