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.

Re: Most haunting TV themes

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.

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

Re: Most haunting TV themes

I have to admit.... when it comes to 'haunting' songs, I tend to think of ones that haunt me... as i remember the times when as a child the tunes would be playing on the tv.
One of those, which I have on the computer now (natch) and listen to every once in a while is the closing theme to 'Monkey!', the song 'Gandhara' by Godiego.
It's a beautiful song, in itself... But never (and I do mean never) fails to make every hair on the back of my neck stand on end..
Just the memories of the family in front of the tv, everyone pulling miniature staffs out of our ears and trying to conjur up a cloud to fly on!

Don't laugh but I also found the theme from the boy from space to be quite moving! Not haunting though.

Apart from 'children of the stones' or 'poldark' that has been previously mentioned, for me it would have to be this one......

"The World at War" theme used to spook me out as a kid even though I loved the series. It was composed by the late Carl Davis. Another one of his themes that I found poignantly haunting was the theme for "Hollywood: A Celebration of the American Silent Film" which was produced by Thames in 1980.
