You hadn't reckoned with the idea of a man who looked like he was dead when death itself was a concept so scary you were scared to even ask your parents about it. That this theme for a ...murderer? sounded almost beautiful was all the more bizarre and unsettling.

Chilling in how it conveyed distressing forces, this otherworldly piece was almost profoundly unsettling for kids of a certain generation.
