Hello there, love your website!
If you ever have room for this, the one thing that EVER scared me when I was a child (who was frequently taken to see horror films at the drive-in and walk-in) was Giorgio Moroder's "Chase Theme" from MIDNIGHT EXPRESS. I was four at the time, and that damn song was all over the radio, and I mean in heavy rotation. What made things worse was that I used to sleep with the radio on! It never occurred to me to turn the radio off, but then again, I was only four. Of all the things to be afraid of. At least I wasn't afraid of CHER's "Believe."

Never having seen Midnight Express, it seems to me that this song had more than a little influence on the soundtrack to "The Warriors" which came out the next year.  Or maybe it was just the Zeitgeist of the late 70's.  Either way, good music.
I can definitely feel the creep vibe. But as a child born in 75 and growing up in the 80s, I watched my fair share of the Pro Wrestling in all it's 80s glory. And this just reminds me of NWA Tag Team Champions the Midnight Express.
