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.

The "H" note in music is sort of a nickname for a Double-flatted B (or the note A).

SKRIBLSKULL,Although this peice has been now acociated as being "scary" or with old "horror" films.

This peice was intended to be quite the opposite, Bach wrote all his music for God and the Church. Its useually only the first few messures people think of when they hear this peice played.

>Composers must have felt something alluring about patterns since [they] ... incorporated it into their work so it shouldn't be discarded as unimportant or a gimmick.

I wasn't saying that the use of patterns is a gimmick, but that the use of patterns that are more easily recognized by means other than listening are a gimmick.

If da Vinci told you that if you viewed the Mona Lisa under a microscope you'd see 1,000,000 copies of the Lord's Prayer in microscope print ... that would be a gimmick.
