Sound is often one of my biggest complaints with scary movies. Typically, I can expect droning, creeping cellos to create a sense of dread, while violins jump in at the opportune time to scare me when the evil monster pops up. Scary movies are horribly unimaginative with their music and sound design, using them for cheap jump scares and obvious emotional cues rather than for truly enhancing the atmosphere.
