I want the people to be relaxed and unsuspecting of the lazers, sharks, flame throwers and TSA agents they are about to experience.
unsuspecting screams are so much better to enjoy than the suspecting ones. I think it's the surprise.
You are sooooooo right. Why would you want to give up any more element of surprise insofar as can even be possible for anyone popping in to an evil lair in the first place? Makes zero sense
right?? just let them fall into an unsuspecting feeling that they're about to meet their tax accountant and when the doors open, BAM! full cavity search by TSA followed by low powered lasers in their eyes and some roasty toasty via flame throwers.
they'll run straight to the water feature, which, unknown to them, is filled with sharks.
that'll teach those Mormons from knocking on my door!
Battle without honor or humanity, just so whichever hero is coming to kick my ass is forced to walk in slow motion so I have time to release the murderbots.
Or if we're going for wtf-factor, probably https://youtu.be/V2ydY-iRPX0
Probably like some Brian Eno
Oh probably Local Forecast by Kevin MacLeod.
MacLeod is so great! Good pick.
I would probably go for Urban Conspiracy by Jules Gaia. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=3_6ka9EV1i4
Maybe just alternate between these two.
Baby shark on loop.
The elevator will take roughly an hour to descend 100m without an access card that only I have.
Are you The Devil™️?
Heavens no, his elevator takes a lifetime and you don't get to listen to baby shark anywhere as much.
CanadianSuperDevil, Beelzaboot
Girl from ipanema melody. Sorry, it's the rules.
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.
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
Very innocuous, even tongue-in-cheek, but never intimidating, almost verging on almost boring to someone who doesn't listen closely.
So... something like these:
Edit:
Added two more tunes
The guys who did the Evil Genius soundtrack already had to select music for it.

100% this. A Vampiric Tango. I've been building my world lately and one nation is the Vampirium of Lemriss. Been listening to this for some inspiration. A beautiful blend of seductive and menacing.
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
Hell by the Squirrel Nut Zippers.
It might help to explain that my evil lair is inside an active volcano.
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.
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.
Toccata and Fugue in D minor. Flicker the lights, throw in some thunder crashes and maniacal laughter. Also, disable the 'close door' button so they know I mean it.
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].
Walking toward the elevator - Dark Vader theme.
Elevator door opening - Psycho stabbing music.
Or Baby Shark cause that is evil.
