What about Unsolved Mysteries too? That was some scary shit back then.....especially those end credits. The theme used to remind me of Halloween.



Somebody told me a rapper sampled it. I'm trying to find it.....no luck.

One that hasn't been mentioned yet,

Black Adder

Utterly brilliant and catchy.
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.
