I know what you mean about the rock soundtracks .. (like Demons,.. hell like most of the newer italian horrors)
but still .. when the shocks come incidental music is playing ...
There is always a score .. as well as the soundtrack.
it will usually build, then stop dead .. just before the blast ..
It is the sudden absence of the music that builds the anticipation.
Sure there are more than the one example i stated (of movies that have found other ways to scare you) .. but not many more ..
And jumping isnt scaring .. thats startling..
The Forgotton had a moment .. holy crap .. i knew what was coming but it was so effective i jumped a foot off of my seat.
But i didnt feel fear ...
