For a trope that is basically "pipe organ music of doom", it would be nice to have an image that ... actually looks doomy.

Something like this, perhaps.

404.

It's less ominous than I remember it being from watching Retsupurae run through it, but there's Mordack's organ from King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder!.

That's an improvement. More or less the same, but doomier.

Like suggestion. +1 to replace current. Color palette in current does not say "ominous" at all. It's the inside of a well-lit cathedral, which ain't exactly scary.

Doom Organ is awesome. Current actually looks quite nice, so it should be replaced.

+1 for #1

EDIT: From here. [up] I like it better with the side arches.

The side arches do make it a bit more imposing despite the smaller size.

It makes it look more cramped, so larger relative to the room it's in. Also more oppressive. Which is good.

The only downside is the shot doesn't include the keyboard portion of the organ.

[up] That's a REALLY big negative to me. I'd really rather get one with the keyboard in it.

Bump...wanted to throw a few more options out, specifically the Bone Troller from Filmation's Ghostbusters cartoon. 1, and these captures from the opening:

That's not ominous! Too many bright shiny primary colours!

*shrug* Can't be helped. It's more in the overall design than the color palette.

Hmmm... I went looking for the Silverodeon, but the last panel here is the only decent panel, it seems.

I think I still like the OP best.
