Music of the bad guys and monsters

In the books villains are associated with horns, drums, gongs, trumpet,rattle... and whip if you count it as an instrument.I am still sure that pipe-organs are deeply evil too...
Well, there’s the slapstick that’s used to represent a whip crack as heard in Sleigh Ride. So the whip can certainly be an instrument.
 
There's also the anvil (or a brake drum if you don’t have an anvil), if you can count it as an instrument. It's used in a number of action films like Aliens (specifically in the track Futile Escape) and Battle of the Heroes from Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.


Heard at about 1:41 in, roughly about when Obi-Wan and Anakin are fighting on the lava river and before their conversation intercut over The Force theme. The sound of the anvil is overlaid by the xylophone.
