The audio company THX Ltd. has a very gripping signature. It doesn't bother me; I find the sound exciting and engrossing. However, because of its intensity, I equate it with horror. Whenever I hear the music, I expect to see something scary.
shareClose to jaws music yes it’s scary
shareAs a child, yes, but now I just find it intense.
shareThank you, Intothenight. You probably understand how the slightest thing can have the greatest effect on the imagination and senses.
shareGood point as I wasn't a child when I first heard it, I guess I didn't give it much thought other than it was kinda cool.
shareI found it loud and annoying, and am glad they quit showing it off before the movies started.

It forebodes something...not sure what, though.
Yes, GlenEllyn, I mean the first one, but have never seen the eclipse version until now. The one with the cows is so silly. You hear how the trademark sound sets the stage for something frightening.

Nope.

It’s awesome. Sounds like the scene in 2001 where they find the monolith on the moon.

Entwickler, it is a fantastic sound, but only because it's very brief. Everything is packed in to the music at once, which is why it would become obnoxious and overwhelming if it were to last longer. A part of that clip that you have presented does sound like THX's trademark. The next section, though, has audio that is almost identical to the music in The Shining. Maybe the two movies have the same composers? Thank you for piquing my interest in 2001: A Space Odyssey. I have been meaning to watch it since I am a fan of the work of Stanley Kubrick. It's hard to believe that he has a movie rated G on his record!
