History Main / DeathlyDiesIrae

* ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'': Score by Amie Doherty. The four notes are played in the season 1 finale when [[spoiler:She-Hulk is wandering through Creator/{{Disney}}'s corporate headquarters after [[NoFourthWall shattering]] [[RealWorldEpisode the fourth wall]], emphasizing the alien nature of the "real" world.]]

* ''Film/HomeAlone'': Music/JohnWilliams. As Kevin and his brother are watching Old Man Marley, who they think killed his family years ago, he looks up at them, and ''dies irae'' plays as they duck into hiding.

* At about the mid-point of scenarios in ''VideoGame/{{Panic}}'' you might come across a series of ''[[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey 2001]]''-style monoliths in various environments that act as something of a WarpZone, sending you in between said environments along with multiple other new and old destinations. For whatever reason, these areas are scored with with an up-tempo version of ''Dies Irae''.

The four note phrase "dies irae" starts on one note (usually F), then half-step down, half-step up to the first note, one-and-a-half-steps down. The descending notes and minor key create a somber, ominous feel. It can be instrumental or vocal, with or without the OminousLatinChanting, but it always sounds like something isn't right.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmB8W1bEEXs "Secrets of the Shizuma Drive"]] from the soundtrack of the ''Manga/GiantRobo: The Day the Earth Stood Still'' OVA series is a completely new arrangement of ''Dies Irae'' by Masamichi Amano, but it quotes the original Gregorian chant right at the end (time 2:07).

* ''Manga/HunterXHunter 2011'': The song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FQFNGZyJmo Riot]]" is heavily insopired by Dies Irae, and is first used as Chrollo Lucilfer's "requiem" for fallen Phantom Troupe member Uvogin, as the rest of the troupe begins their massacre at the auction house.

* ''Film/JurassicPark'': Score by Music/JohnWilliams. The cue "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsTgzA9_SnQ High Wire Stunts]]" has a repeated ''dies irae'' as Grant and the kids are scrambling over the perimeter fence just as Ellie starts powering them back up, nearly killing Tim as the power surge catches him still on the fence. And then Ellie finds herself confronting a Velociraptor. A similar repeated ''dies irae'' appears earlier in the film ("Incident on Isla Nublar") as Ellie and Muldoon arrive at the aftermath of the ''T. rex'''s attack on the tour vehicles, finding Gennaro's remains and a grievously injured Malcolm.

* ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'': The "dies irae" is heard in several sequences involving the Orcs or every time a bad event takes place, foreshadowing the looming evil in Middle-earth. The final of Season One reveals it has been Sauron's leitmotif the whole time once Galadriel discovers Halbrand was just an identity he took. Its meaning and usage is disccused [[https://youtu.be/K1hgo9aVnhQ?t=470 here]].

* In the ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' episode “[[Recap/StarTrekPicardS3E05Imposters Imposters]]”, scored by Stephen Barton and Frederik Wiedmann, the four notes of dies irae play multiple times as the ''Intrepid'', [[spoiler:now revealed to be controlled by the Changelings]], prepares to turn its guns on the ''Titan''.
