Johann Sebastian Bach's famous composition "Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV", written for the church, has long been associated with Halloween, horror movies, & all things generally gothic. But why this association? The movies featured in this clip can be credited with popular culture's correlation of Bach's Toccata and Fugue with the dark & mysterious.

- Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931)
- The Black Cat (1934)
- Fantasia (1940)
- 20000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954)
