Sound Royalty Free music; Dark/eerie/horror/suspence

For any drama, documentary, film, or even game background sound is vital. Sound effects and music creates tension, especially if your watching an Alfred Hitchcock film, a master in tension building. It sets the theme of the film. Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire ripper in every footage i've seen attracts dark, eerie, horror sounding music. With my dark, dreamy car sequences, and peoples feet walking across the screen would benefit from dramatic music.

I found many different Royalty free music pieces that work well but the better ones you have to pay for. Many of the horror ones can be too scary, I'm worried if i over exaggerated with the sound then it could sound too cheesy.

For example..
