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.
I was just about to make that same point. When I watched The Wolfman again after the 1989 Batman came out, it really jumped out at me.
