Unless you've seen the movie a bunch of time and the plot associations with the music are too strong. But, just hearing the music right now after not seeing the movie since it was released, I was just thinking it'd make a really fun Arkham soundtrack.
The Inception soundtrack would make great background music for this game...
Soundtracks? Man, you probably do other weird stuff like allow food and drink while playing 
. Only soundtrack for AH I use is the clatter of dice and curses, moans, groans and occasional cheers of the player(s).
Not to mention is not properly the best NIN stuff ever heard...

Food and drink, no, soundtracks, yes :') I enjoy atmosphere building through mood music.
AKLO
Biohazard
three of ninjadorg's tracks
Silent Hill
6 hour ambient list
1 hour final combat list
5-second crossfade, volume leveling, random and repeat.

I also have some clavicord, organ, and weird classical music to go with Hastur/King in Yellow.
I'd like to make a special Nyarlathotep soundtrack as well, with lots of chanting and cultish sounding foreign language music.
Whenever you fight a Vampire, you should switch to something with a Harpsichord. No matter what they're playing it sounds like it's out of Castlevania...
Anyways, I, myself, usually just use the tv as background when I play by myself. In a group we don't have any music going. The game is tense and fun enough 
Oh, that reminds me; I know we had a separate thread like this recently, but I just learned about this: www.myspace.com/nerosdayatdisneland
Noisy, electronic 15th-century choral music. I can't listen to much of it in one sitting (and generally prefer that the background music be somewhat less anachronistic), but it might be worth mixing a little into one's soundtrack.
I'd love to make more custom playlists but that requires a LOT of material.

Indeed it does!
We've always had some atmospheric background music playing during our games. At first it was the soundtrack to Aliens, and then we added Microcosmos (only the instrumental parts). I just recently added Inception and the soundtrack to Moon. After editing a few of the tracks out from those soundtracks that don't quite fit the mood, I ended up with about a 2 hour playlist - which is just about perfect for our normal playing time.
I have about four hours of music taken from about 40 different albums, not counting ninjadorg's "suite." It took a while to make it, I guess, but it wasn't that hard.

So far, I have preferred listening to Neurosis, Isis or similar bands when playing Arkham Horror. After noticing some of the great soundtracks by John Murphy (e.g. Sunshine, 28 Days Later), I might try something different.
Man, Isis are *great*. I'm not used to listening to music while playing, but I listen a lot to a couple of Isis albums, lately. As for John Murphy... is he the same guy who worked with Death in June as percussionist?
