A music box tune that sounds a bit ''off''. It may have an overly cheery or depressing sound to it or the tune just seems to be completely out of place. Either way, the effect is just [[Nightmare Fuel|creepy]], and there is something not quite right about it. Something not quite right at ''all''.

Compare [[Ironic Nursery Tune]], [[Creepy Circus Music]], and [[Creepy Children Singing]], where creepy songs and nursery rhymes are played in the background to add tension and fear to a scene. Similar to the [[Uncanny Valley]], in that the ''tiny'' bit that's "off" is what makes it feel ''very'' wrong.

No, seriously.

** Its [[Umineko no Naku Koro ni|sequel]] has a few as well. The ones that stick out most are "worldend solo" and "Wingless."

<link rel="dns-prefetch" href="//login.miraheze.org"/>
* ''[[Ghost in the Shell|Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence]]'' had an entire sequence set inside a very creepy [[Mind Screw]] mansion, all accompanied by the world's biggest music box ("The Doll House" versions 1 and 2). The score composer said in interview that he wanted it to sound like you were ''inside'' said music box - and he most certainly succeeded.

** In the Making Of-extras on the DVD it's shown how they did it: they had a company specializing in music boxes make them a huge one to play the tune, and then took it into some empty mine shaft to record it. Sure, they could have just electronically added the echo, [[Shown Their Work|but it just wouldn't have been]] [[Doing It for the Art|authentic enough.]]
</head>
* One can be heard at the beginning and ending of episode 11 of ''[[Ghost Stories]]''.

** One is used at the beginning of Russia's character song "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkpkfkgkySw&feature=related Winter]."

* The "Julia" theme from ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' is very reminiscent of a music box up until the penultimate episode where it's sung briefly.

* Suito Kusanagi in ''[[The Sky Crawlers]]'' has a large stationary music box in her office, that plays the movie's theme tune. It's probably a [[Shout-Out]] to the [[Mamoru Oshii|director's]] previous work, ''[[Ghost in the Shell]] 2: Innocence'', mentioned above.

* "Waltz for Strain", the [[Bootstrapped Theme]] of ''[[Soukou no Strain]]'' and the source of many other pieces of BGM in the series (such as Sara's battle theme), has a music box variation, which is probably the most well-known version (it even plays on the official website). It's actually associated with in-story music boxes, too.

<div id="mw-navigation">
* Davey Jones' music box In ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]: Dead Man's Chest''. It was supposed to be romantic—because of Davy Jones and {{spoiler|Calypso/Tia Dalma}}, but the effect was kind of ruined when they did that [[Ominous Pipe Organ|crazy-evil organ arrangement]] while the fish-pirates were scrubbing the deck.

** This is also an instance of the planet wide cinematic regulation which says that wistful music-box melodies must slow and eventually stop just ''before'' the final note.
<div id="mw-head">
* The above Pirates of the Caribbean example seems like an homage to ''[[For a Few Dollars More]]'', where El Indio (sexy weed-smoking Mexican baddie) is addicted to a musical pocket watch, which plays Morricone music, and he uses it every time he has a duel, or just kills someone.
<div id="p-personal" role="navigation" class="" aria-labelledby="p-personal-label">
** As the flashback sequence in throughout the movie keeps extending, showing us more and more of what happened on that rainy night, you realize just how creepy this is, since El Indio got it from a woman whose husband he killed and whom he then raped, [[Driven to Suicide|driving her to shoot herself]]. One of the two heroes has a matching version because it turns out [[You Killed My Father|the woman was his sister]].

** Used to great effect in their final showdown as they agree to draw when the music stops.

* As if there wasn't enough horror motifs in the 1999 remake of ''The Haunting'' (it already had [[Creepy Circus Music]]), there was also a music box tune which Eleanor was humming almost from the beginning of the movie ([[Fridge Horror|suggesting even then that she was already being drawn to the house]]). She later finds the actual music box in the nursery of Hill House. If it isn't too blasphemous to consider, [[Wild Mass Guessing|one might wonder if this is meant to be the tune for the song "Journeys End In Lovers Meeting" from the Shirley Jackson novel.]]

* The Red Queen's theme from ''[[Resident Evil (film)|Resident Evil]]'' was written to sound like a sweet child's waltz. As the movie continues, her theme becomes increasingly dark and menacing as she shows her murderous colors to the group.

* Throughout ''[[The Innocents]]'', Flora's music box plays the tune ''O Willow Waly'', the lyrics of which are sung by Flora at the very beginning of the film.
</ul>
* The first few notes of "Do You Know Where Christmas Trees are Grown" (a cheerful song that played in the background earlier) can be heard in a tense scene after 007 is locked in a cable car machine room in ''[[On Her Majesty's Secret Service]].''

Her empathic nature briefly brings her into contact with something very powerful that doesn't want to be discovered - the result is that the music box melody starts [[Ear Worm|playing in her mind over and over again]], louder and louder, until even a medically induced coma can't block it out.

* Used in ''[[Doctor Who]]'' in "Silence in the Library" as the theme for the library and the alternate world, doubling the WTF factor and giving the episode Moffat's trademark 'dark fairytale' overtone.

* In ''[[Quest for Glory]] IV'', the music box in the old man's house plays a rather [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEDZBoWHeGM mournful tune] and almost certainly belonged to the man's dead wife, who you later meet as a ghost in the forest.
<ul>
* In [[Donkey Kong Country|DK64]], the tune that plays in [[Toy Time|Frantic]] [[Eternal Engine|Factory]] opens with a singularly creepy music-box segment, complete with "winding up," and it returns several times throughout the tune.

* The "Game Over" music in ''[[BlazBlue]]'' sounds like a generic, slightly [[Soundtrack Dissonance|dissonant]] "better luck next game" tune (mostly "ominous" because the player just lost). Early in Ragna's Story (the first most players are likely to try, since it's at the top of the list), it's revealed to be the song from ''Saya's'' music box. [[Jigsaw Plot|Who's Saya, you ask?]] [[Figure It Out Yourself]].
