. These musicians have shared some amazing stories about how horror-themed music has affected them personally, and it's wild to think that something like Shostakovich's String Quartet No 8 in C minor could evoke fear just because of its association with the weight of genocide 
. And can you believe Spencer Charnas thinks John Carpenter's Halloween soundtrack is right up there with Jaws and Psycho? That says a lot about how impactful that music has been on horror cinema 
. For me, it's all about atmosphere – when I'm listening to something that sends shivers down my spine, it's always the mood and tension that gets me 
.
I mean, can you imagine listening to Shostakovich's String Quartet No 8 in C minor with your dad at home and feeling terrified? 
It's crazy how certain songs and music pieces can evoke such strong emotions and memories. And Johannes Eckerström talking about Moomin being "horror for children" makes me think about how our childhood experiences shape us... 
It's interesting to see how these artists connect horror-themed music with their own personal experiences and emotions. I think it's awesome that they're sharing this stuff, even if it is a bit unsettling 
. And let's be real, Moomin might not have been that spooky for kids back then 
. But you know what does freak me out? The fact that people still watch those old Halloween movies without ever getting tired of 'em 
Not to say it can't be fun and all... but horror has become super overplayed in pop culture 
And don't even get me started on Shostakovich's String Quartet No 8 in C minor... I mean, it sounds super depressing and sad to me, not scary at all. 
And now they're saying it's up there with Jaws and Psycho in terms of musical impact on horror cinema? Please, that's just a bunch of old nostalgia talking 
. My grandma still freaks out when I put on the Halloween soundtrack at family gatherings, so what's the big deal? 
. And Johannes Eckerström comparing Moomin to horror anime? That's just ridiculous 
i mean who doesnt love a good scare?? 
. I think it's awesome how these musicians are sharing their own connections with horror-themed music... it just goes to show that our experiences can shape us in ways we never thought possible
