Q: Why does this piece of music remind me of horror movies?
A: Because it was used in the 1962 version of The Phantom of the Opera. Before that, it did not have that connotation. When Walt Disney and Leopold Stokowski used it in the 1940 film Fantasia, they considered it to be a purely abstract piece --- "absolute music" --- which brought to mind expressionistic forms and lines.

i really like this video of the toccata as it really gives you the idea of where the notes are in relation to each other and how they should be played in relation to each other...

The irony is that the toccata is often played in a majestic church cathedral with a mammoth organ and otherwordly acoustics, demonstrating the heavenliness of the gifts that the composer possessed with music that only he could present to the world.

...Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, a passionate, almost maniacal piece that seems more at home in late-night horror movies (where it has often been quoted) than in the dignified confines of a church organ loft.
