Yes, definitely the Unsolved Mysteries theme was definitely spine chilling, that and the theme from Tales from the Darkside.

Yes. Just thinking about it is creeping me out. His voice and that music are forever ingrained in my mind. I too watched it on my sick days from school. I made sure the cordless phone was next to me and refused to open the door for anyone.

Yeah me too! My hairs literally stand up on my arms and i get goosebumps. Also the music when the run the 'updates' that is freaky too i think

It's that damn synthesizer. lol
The sound department were geniuses in terms of composing music to fit the mood of the segments.

No. It's never bothered me at all. I think it's great and love it but I love scary movies. My sister and dad were creeped out by it.

as a kid in the 90's i couldn't sleep after watching this at night. thought some serial killer was under the bed waiting for me.
even know it has a certain effect almost as bad.

Yep!! That theme music is haunting.

Yeah, the music was spooky. The revamped show (with Dennis Farina) has some odd sound effects in the theme (sounds like a hubcap rolling on the pavement or something).

Shoot, it doesn't even have to be at nightthe music has always freaked me out! When I would be home for the summer in high school, I'd watch reruns on Lifetime and that music made me kind of jumpy! HAHA
And you want to be my latex salesman

Definitely - Unsolved Mysteries has the coolest theme music.
Especially the early Robert Stack series.
Sounds like they re-recorded it for the Dennis Farina run.
It sounds like John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN theme.

When I was 13 I started staying home alone during the day and I would watch the older episodes in the morning. Those were so much scarier than the "newer" ones. One episode was about a woman looking in the mirror and her eyes were all back. I was freaked out for weeks to look in the mirror after that! Lol

This show scares me in the light of day.

I grew up watching episodes throughout the '90s on Lifetime when I'd be home sick from school, and I've always been utterly fascinated by the show. I'm sad they took it off the air, especially since so many of these cases profiled on the show were never solved (and the ones that were could use a closure announcement tacked onto the end). It's dated, sure, but the original run of the series with Robert Stack is forever ingrained in my mind. Just thinking about some of the episodes and the theme song gives me goosebumps. My stepdad actually downloaded hundreds of episodes of the show and burned them onto DVD-Rs for me one Christmas a few years back. I've still not finished all of them, but it's nice to be able to watch the episodes in their original form (provided I have the guts to do it watching it late at night still screws me up, and I'm 25 years old).

I'm assuming you mean the original theme when Robert Stack hosted, because the kind that airs now with Dennis Farina completely lacks that creepy factor. Dennis did well as host, but I wish they would air some of the old Robert Stack versions now and again.

Yes and Robert Stacks voice!

Man the main theme song still frightens me if I watch the shows at night. I don't even want to sleep by myself at night.
The music during the opening credits scared me too. Years ago I used to watch re-runs of this show late at night and just the music scared me to pieces. Also, the clips from previous episodes showed during the credits were really creepy. I was scared there was someone outside my bedroom window getting ready to break it open and come in and kill me. Or other times I was afraid there was a ghost in my house about to appear to me or that aliens were outside my window and were about to abduct me. It was so delightful.
I think this show, including the opening credits and the music, was the scariest in the early years of the show. The late 1980's. Robert Stack's voice alone gave me nightmares.
