The ’80s-Set Horror Movie That Most Brutally Ruined a Popular Song Forever

Dissonant soundtrack choices have been a relatively popular way to cause unease or tension within a film, and it's a technique fairly common to horror movies. It's one thing to have a moody, typically creepy score in a horror movie that fits the eerie visuals on screen; look no further than the kind of music John Carpenter often composes for his own movies, the most iconic of which is probably the score of Halloween. There's also the unsettling passage of music from Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells that was used in The Exorcist, which has become something of an unofficial theme for The Exorcist series (it even got remixed/updated in the disappointing 2023 film The Exorcist: Believer). But the clash of music that's not usually considered creepy with an unsettling scene is sometimes more effective, thanks to how jarring it can feel. While not necessarily a horror movie, the use of "Singin' in the Rain" in A Clockwork Orange might well be the most infamous example of this. Yet to focus on the horror genre, the best example could well be the use of "Hip to Be Square" by Huey Lewis and the News in the darkly comedic/satirical psychological horror film that is American Psycho.
