It’s an awesome song and an even more awesome TV show.

Not this one but the actual intro song.

Hmm theories… Well listening to the song it’s in a minor key which can immediately cut out the “joy/happiness/bright” feel of a song and can give the song an “down/uncomfortable/dark” feel.

Another thing with this song is that the high pitch part of it sits in to the range of 2,000 and 5,000 Hz which makes our ears more sensitive to sound, which can make us feel more uncomfortable and unsettled as well (Article on that here).

Also the tempo/speed of the music, the volume you play it at, or how “busy/crammed” the song is, are all ways that how music can change your emotions; and I’m sure that would have something to do with this.

I just think this song just has that unsettling, mysterious, chilling kind of effect because of all the little bits that just change your thinking into a more uncomfortable state I guess.

Correct. The original intro song belongs to Mike Oldfield, if i remember correctly. It has no lyrics.

@tlotr when I said it was “unsettling” I didn’t mean it to sound unlikable as well.
