Any Love for the theme from 'The ghosts of Motley Hall'? I always found that quite haunting.

I recently found the "Butterflies" credits/opening credits on You-tube. I would not personaly say it was "haunting" , though i'd guess many would possibly describe it as so, as it really had that 60s feel to it I think - even though Butterflies was like a 70s/very early 80s programe. The theme sure had elements of say early Fleetwood Mack music I think and that could relate it to "haunting" as a result I sense.

Don't know if it could be classed as haunting but the tune that is played at the end of the hulk when David Banner is walking away usually thumbing for a lift, always gives me a sad emotional feeling.

Yes that one used to get me too.

I would say that 'Callan' definitely comes in this category. http://www.televisiontunes.com/Callan.html

Good call for Noah's Castle - that's my current ringtone!

Personal favourite though has to be the little-known, never repeated end of the world sit-com 'Not With a Bang'. Beautifully haunting guitar solo played by Rod Argent.

I used to enjoy 'Not With A Bang' and I've got a 7" vinyl copy of the theme tune somewhere. I wish they would release that series on DVD.

The whole version of the 'Picture Box' theme is even stranger than the bit that was used on the titles. A couple of times it slows down and appears to fall apart with unusual notes before picking itself up again and continuing with the recognisable tune from the TV show.

I always used to find the early '80s version of the 'Krypton Factor' theme tune a bit unsettling at the time. I'm not referring to the Art Of Noise's later edgy version, but the tune I'm referring to was a strange electronic keyboard version which, when I think about it now, probably wasn't that odd, but at the time I didn't like it much.

The theme from Poldark is quite haunting.
