A girl in the dark with a candle or lamp in her hands roaming fearlessly but making everyone afraid was how most of the songs were pictured in the earlier horror movies. Every other time when a murder was about to happen the theme music started and horrified/thrilled the audience.
The
songs were not only limited to those mentioned above not to forget Tu jaha jaha chalega mera saaya saath hoga from the movie Mera Saya with the credit again going to the legendary playback singer Lata Mangeshkar and Sansar ki har shai ka itna hi fasana hai, the song from movie Dhund.The others in the list were Chalo re Doli Uthao Kahaar that was basically a wedding song but the way it was linked with the murder plan of the newly wed bride was fantabulous.
In the end let’s not forget the contribution of the all-time favourite of most of us the horror theme from the shows of Ramsay Brothers. To watch the Zee Horror Show sitting in the blanket with eyes wide open was a thrilling experience.
