The music we keep in this area is closely related to Horror, but with tongue-in-cheek and perhaps a sense of the bizarre or quirky. This music can be chaotic or "wonky", like a creepy, odd machine, or it can have the style of a bizarre cabaret, or a weird and bizarre haunted house. The works of Tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, Corpse Bride, The Nightmare Before Christmas) and Henry Selick (Coraline) are useful references. And of course, this music works great in all kinds of Halloween productions.
