For a fall course I'm teaching on "Psychology in Story," I'll show students a series of classic and recent movies with psychological themes. We'll discuss how movie soundtracks can support (or undercut) a movie's story. In one class, we'll focus especially on the power of the theremin to evoke eerie atmosphere, paranoia and anxiety--as in Hitchcock's "Spellbound" (1945) and dozens of '50s and '60s sci fi flicks. Can forum members help me to identify other movies (available on video) whose soundtracks show the theremin's uniqueness, versatility, and emotional power? Thanks for your ideas, which I need by September 1st. Very best, Ann (weber@unca.edu)Ann Weber PhD, Psychology, UNC at Asheville
