Miriam Hopkins & Fredric March in Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (1931, dir. Rouben Mamoulian)
“As the first edge of my penitence wore off, the lower side of me, so long indulged, so recently chained down, began to growl for license. I was once more tempted to trifle with my conscience; and it was as an ordinary secret sinner that I, at last, fell before the assaults of temptation.”
-Robert Louis Stevenson, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde

JS Bach - Toccata and Fugue in D minor
After its use in 1931’s Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, the Toccata & Fugue, attributed (controversially) to Bach, became a staple of 1930s horror films, leading to it becoming shorthand for “Evil, cobwebbed shenanigans are about to ensue” in popular culture.
