Reaper - Contrapuntal Sound - comic effect

Sam has to kill the 'demons' and return them to hell. To do this, he must touch them with the cattleprod thingy. His friends lower him on the rope into the den of 'demons' and the music starts.
It's 'The Nutcracker Suite' and is a light hearted piece of music. the comparison between this and Sam's predicament being dangled over a den of 'demons' produces comic effect.

Watch how the director changes the tone of the etxract by moving to parallel sound.
