I like Rachmnanoff’s Isle of the Dead, its pleasantly menacing
Edit: yall are taking elevator too literally haha, the idea is elevator/background/ambient music that sets a temperature but not a focus
Oh probably Local Forecast by Kevin MacLeod.
Girl from ipanema melody. Sorry, it’s the rules.
Walking toward the elevator - Dark Vader theme.
Elevator door opening - Psycho stabbing music.
Or Baby Shark cause that is evil.
Hell by the Squirrel Nut Zippers.
It might help to explain that my evil lair is inside an active volcano.
I’m torn between silence and something really happy and upbeat like PonPonPon.
The silence forces then to face their own inner demons, but the upbeat music will ruin their badass aesthetic.
Lullabies shifted into A minor and slowed down. Also that subsonic that they use in horror movies. I want unwanted visitors to be on edge, jumping at shadows.
Alternatively, 7 what’s new pussycats followed by 1 its not unusual. Just for the (in)sanity check.
Why? Just listen to it.
The stampede music that Simba was caught up in, in the lion king animated film.
It would be a smooth jazz cover of Judas Priest’s Breaking the Law
No elevator. I would teleport. Or take the stairs (it’s good for the heart). And no music playing either because music is always an hint at who’s the bad guy in a movie ;)
Maybe one could ear in the background the noise of my devotee evil assistant’s mechanical typewriter because for obvious reason I would not trust any digital device to write anything related to my secret plans to conquer the world [here, one should ear a mad scientist laugh].
Just a normal elevator with very high buttons, with a midget as bellboy jumping to reach them while this is playing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1z4JfxFb6c
Very innocuous, even tongue-in-cheek, but never intimidating, almost verging on almost boring to someone who doesn’t listen closely.
So… something like this: https://youtu.be/zdOeCr1GbKk
The guys who did the Evil Genius soundtrack already had to select music for it.

Left Bank Two by the Noveltones. Well known to British people of a certain age. It was used during the gallery section of an art-based TV show for children. The art was sent in by viewers.
It’s jaunty and relatively innocuous. Unless you hear it a few hundred times and then, well. Insert tortured screams here.
Multiple versions of in the hall of the mountain king.
