  Although I like some of the actual shows listed better, for the theme music itself I had to go with Alfred Hitchcocks ' Funeral March Of A Marionette '.  That tune creeped me out as a kid.  For second place, the theme from  Tales From The Crypt.

I picked Night Gallery, but I'm guessing that the images that accompanied the opening were part of the creepiness.  When I think of TV themes, Kolchak: The Night Stalker is usually at the top of my list too.

I was an 80's kid. The Tales From The Darkside theme will forever scare the crap out of me.

I also think Alfred Hitchcock was my favorite! They went with a masterpiece and it worked  :)    However, the theme to Barnaby Jones used to creep me out royally, when I was a kid!  It was so menacing!!

You & me both!  I actually had it as a ringtone for awhile.

I always thought that Tales from the Darkside's intro and theme were creepy.
