Good Horror themed music from Dragon Ball Composers?
So at school in my media studies class, we have the opportunity to create our own short films based on the horror genre.
For my film, I want to create a sort of classical feel to my movie, like the old films of long ago. There will be no dialogue, only SFX and music while I'll also be setting the film in black and white. So I started imagining the concept and as I was doing so, subconsciously I was adding music to the scenes I was imagining as I was writing them down.
The first track I imagined was Shunsuke Kikuchi's Unreleased 'M911', which would be used as a confrontation sort of thing where the protagonist is running away from the antagonist. The track itself also fits in my intended theme for my short film as it has some classical tone to it which reminds me of the old black and white horror films.
The second track I imagined was Kenji Yamamoto's 'Ominous Silence' which also fits the theme of my film with it's eerie feeling to it. The piano is also just awesome in this song BTW.
Then just today I discovered 'M1314' which I have heard multiple times in the Kikuchi-Kai mix. The song itself fits perfectly with my intentions.
However, I haven't got the time to check and listen to every single piece of Dragon Ball music out there, which is why I'm calling for some help from the Kanzenshuu community. Specifically, I want your opinions on what musical pieces from any Dragon Ball composer you think fits within a suspense-horror type of genre.
I've got about a week or two before we start filming and I'd like to have everything sorted out if my idea is selected. Even if it isn't, I'll still probably film it one day and the pre-decided material would come in handy.
So, I hope you guys have got the gist of everything and hope to see some suggestions! Perhaps if I like your suggestion, I'll have your name in the credits for "Musical Reference" as an added bonus.
Oh and for those who are worried about me profiting from using copyrighted works, don't worry, I'm not intending to sell this to anybody and if I did, I'd be sure to remove the songs and replace them with original music. Heck, if I had the money I'd probably ask Scott Morgan to compose some music since I'm sure he's talented enough but I'm pretty damn broke XD.
Thanks guys and I hope this isn't too off topic for it to be closed.
Also for those who want to listen, here are the songs I was talking about earlier.
M911
M1314
Ominous Silence (Sans Harmonica)

Re: Need some opinions here.
It's too bad there are so many unreleased pieces that have never been properly ripped, otherwise the obvious suggestion would be "Corny Old Monster Movie" from Sleeping Princess
(the first one here)
You mentioned M911, but a very large chunk of music from that movie (The World's Strongest) would be particularly effective for this. Try:
M901: "The Castle Is Uncovered"
M908: "The Bird-Bots Threaten Roshi"
M909: "The Bird-Bots Hold Bulma Down"
M912: "Dr. Willow Is Introduced"
M913: "Dr. Kochin Explains Their Power"
M918: "Preserving Dr. Willow's Brain"
M922: "The Rise Of Willow And Demise Of Kochin" (I think on my site it's still known as "Dr. Willow Rises/Dr. Kochin Dies")
All but the last of those are unreleased, though. They can be found in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2PdbcqktHk
Also, a lot of music from the original DragonBall contains instruments well known for their use in classic horror movies. There's a lot of vibraslap and flexatone (and I think theremin as well)... again, it's too bad most of this is unreleased, but Fortuneteller Baba's theme has a comical take on that sound from the REALLY old monster movies.
There are plenty of other fantastic ones I know I'm overlooking at the moment.

BGM forever! If only more people paid attention to it... well, I intend to change that.

Just putting a bump here for anyone else interested in helping.

What's with the lack of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQCIqnmibhg and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z6ycX59 ... re=related in here? It's not like Scott Morgan isn't a forum member or anything.

Re: Good Horror themed music from Dragon Ball Composers?
Thanks 
Probably too late now...but "Weird and backwards" was always one of the creepier ones I thought. Can't seem to find it on youtube anymore. It's a mix mash of some of Mike's earlier work plus a lot of creepy stuff I added in.
If it just has to be from a DBZ composer...does it necessarily have to come from the show?
The "Through a Dark Wood" soundtrack has some horror stuff:
http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/ScottMorgan1
4 (Blood)
6 (Sloth and Lust)
11 (Deadly Poison)
14 (Confession to Satan)
[edit] full songs can be heard here actually: http://www.soundclick.com/paypal/defaul ... umID=29389 ]
This (Scariest Piano Music Ever) is just raw piano stuff I hammered out\recorded and took from to make the "Through a Dark Wood" soundtrack.
Also[ Murder ]is not one of my more popular tracks understandably...but it was a guitar improv originally meant to go over a murder scene a friend was putting in a movie of his.

"Weird and Backwards?" Do you mean "Weird Circus?"
