Rewatching Robert Stack episodes now and damn is it great. Between Robert Stack's voice and the creepy music, everything was just so perfect. There's been nothing like it since.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Yeah, as a kid this theme song definitely creeped me out. So did X-Files

I got creeped out easily

(still do)

 

[dolabla]

Yep, when he's talking about someone getting murdered and it starts showing the reenactment and it's starts hitting those dark tones, I ain't gonna lie, I got chills. The whole vibe is just great. They just don't make anything like it anymore.

 

[DeafTourette]

Yeah. Something about that music and the way he'd narrate made me afraid to go to bed. Like the killer on the loose would kill me in my sleep.

 

[dolabla]

Some of these cases have been solved very recently too. Pretty crazy to see these newer updates pop up at the end.

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

Absolutely nothing in comparison to the bone chilling Mr Wint and Mr Kidd theme from Diamonds are Forever.

“If god had wanted man to fly …he would have given him wings, Mr. Kidd”

"If at first you don’t succeed, Mr. Kidd...... Try, try again, Mr. Wint.”

 

[PSYGN]

“It all started on a crisp November morning” I can read it in his voice so easily followed by the sound of a vehicle turning in the gravel driveway. I didn’t understand much when I was a kid but his voice and the theme song stuck with me.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

His cameo in Baseketball is perfect

"we still have no fucking idea where this guy is"

Said in a serious and deadpan voice.

I am actually watching this show right now.
Netflix is working on a new iteration but can it be good without Robert Stack?

[TheMan]

hmm, OP the theme song you posted seems to be an octave too high, that was really bugging me lol

 

[Nymphae]

The scariest song of all time for me. One time when I was younger, I was listening to a CD my buddy had burned for me while going to bed. I was using my discman and headphones, it gets to the last song, and I hear that creepy ass crescendo which instantly made me throw the discman across the room lol.

I love the Basketball parody

yeah the one in the OP is definitely not the original, your video is the one.

Man I can really hear a Hotline Miami song in this now lol, just needs a bit of retooling but it could have worked.

 

[Night.Ninja]

Sounds like something from a john woo film when the bad guy are arming up

Hopefully they will at least try and bring the creepy vibe back with the music, etc. In the Dennis Farina episodes, they completely took that away.

Yeah, I noticed it sounded different but it was the only video with the other sounds. It's from an Unsolved Mysteries vinyl which I didn't know existed.

Robot or human?

I love the art work of this one:

 

[Stouffers]

They should be Stack back for the new series.

 

[Bigrx1]

I LOVE this show and it scared the SHIT out of me as a kid. All the seasons are on Amazon Prime now and they were updated with a little blurb after each segment giving most recent information.

It's also coming back on Netflix which is exciting

They should be Stack back for the new series.

his ghost?

 

[EverythingsOverrated]

This and America's Most Wanted scared the piss out of me on a regular basis when I was a kid
