Burn, Witch, Burn / Night of the Eagle (1962) William Alwyn uses the tune several times, about an hour into the film, during the chase/rescue. I can confirm TomD's assertion, having just caught up with the (excellent) film again last night. It's fully stated at least once, and there are little variations on parts throughout. James Stuart has a 6-min upload on the Tube, but it's missing the complete statement - perhaps he discarded those few seconds due to the weight given to dialogue or sound effects? I can't remember... it was last night. Oh, and what better context could fsmfan1 need? Peter Wyngarde is consulting a book about "The Devil"... and the film's about witchcraft. Is fsmfan1 still around and updating? He still lists NIGHT OF THE EAGLE as a "maybe". Edit----- fmfan, not fsmfan. There's a difference.

I think the "Star Wars" and "Close Encounters" examples given are more like coincidences than deliberate references. I disagree

The first four notes can be heard in the opening of Joel Goldsmith's MANIAC COP 3. Obscurity alert!

Josh - I really like the Scanners track! Even so, Shore must have really hidden it there, or maybe I'm just a dope, because I'm not hearing it. The trumpet melody doesn't have the same shape (it's all down and then up at the end, while the Dies Irae is down-up-down-up-down-up), and I'm trying to figure out if the tune is dancing around somewhere else. Has the Scanners soundtrack ever had a CD release? It did, on Silva in the 90s, a compilation of suites also including The Brood and Dead Ringers. I agree it's not Dies Irae but it certainly carries the medieval feel, just not the melody.
