[Rocket Man]

A lot of the soundtrack from the first "Elizabeth" movie was tailor-made for a horror campaign. Dark, mysterious, threatening ... ooo, perfect. I've relied a lot on my "Classical Thunder" CDs too, especially the Russian composers or the more obscure ones.

I try to avoid the better-known themes. "Flight of the Valkyries" is very dramatic, but all too likely to get the group singing "Kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit ..."

As far as using a given song at its "Perfect Moment": I usually do just use a mix. However, if you want something more precise, that's the sort of thing that laptops and sound files were just made for. Have a selection cued up and click when needed.
