I think Karen and Richard (perhaps Richard) would really get a kick out of this thread...! It seems the possibilities, whether scary or not, are endless when it comes to the songs that could be used. I happened to think of CRESCENT NOON as fitting into a "dark" or frightful flick. I'm not Real Sure exactly what a Cr. Noon IS, but, it sounds foreboding... it makes me think of Werewolves...(or Wherewolves...) I recall when the tv program "Dark Shadows" was on way back when, I watched a little of it, once and a werewolf was lurking outside the house secretly watching this woman through the window. At that time, I turned the tv off.

"Druscilla Penny" is a song that seems, even with its bizarre instrumentation, more geared toward eccentric humor than fright- especially with the witty lines like "you must work hard to get your hair to look like that", etc. Yet with the mysterious elements of her character and behavior in place, I can possibly envision a plot where this offbeat and unusual person turns out to have a truly dark, predatory side.

Yes, the lyrics and music of "Crescent Noon" do have a pensive and haunting feel, and the rhyming with the more common phrase "crescent moon" also obliquely conjures up images of dark and spooky nights. Another sinister association of "crescent" could be with a scythe, a knife that is sometimes crescent- or hook-shaped and used to harvest and mow down grain. A few variations are used by the grim reaper and villains in a few horror movies for decapitations. Eek...!

Great ideas, O.E. and Rick. Along these lines, maybe we can have a movie with a hyrid of eccentrics like the time-warped Miss Haversham of "Great Expectations" and the mysterious Phantom of the Opera who plays his music on the keyboards for the heroine Christine.
