If you are a Millennial, you know this theme song by heart. The maestro of the macabre, strumming the strings of our haunted souls. A dreadful treat for your ears, tickling the ivories while tip-toeing through dark rooms and hallways. The theme to nightmares itself: Goosebumps. This theme song is ingrained in our minds forever more, bearing the power to possess our psyche and bring us back to a time of nostalgia and fright. It is the one. Viewer beware, you’re in for a scare!
