This should be a breeze for Elfman....since he blatantly stole music from the original Wolf Man to use in Batman!
Seriously, watch the 1941 Wolf Man again, specifically where Larry stands under Gwen's window to throw rocks...(with Saneman in shadow behind him) and listen to the music.

Sure sounds like Batman should show up at any time...

Believe me...when I first saw Batman...that's exactly what I thought..."Hey! It's the Wolf Man!"

LOL.

I'm sure it was not an intentional copy, but man, it sure is close.
Elfman obviously grew up with his head FULL of Hans J. Salter music...naturally it creeped out.

I love it.
