Title: "A Summer Place" theme used in a horror film?
Post by: Trevor on March 25, 2021, 06:29:24 AM
Do any of you know if the theme from "A Summer Place" was used in a horror film as a warning that something bad was going to happen or am I mad?

It's definitely been used in horror movies:

As for the particular usage you're thinking of, my first guess was Final Destination 3, given the general theme of those movies. But I breezed through a montage of deaths from that film, and no love for A Summer Place that I heard.

So my second guess is Rose Red. If you search youtube for "Rose Red (2002) - Annie stones the Stanson's house" and go to around the 2:45 mark, there's one example.
