I can't think of anything off of a soundtrack, though I'd think maybe Dracula or The Omen would be up that alley.
But, I do know that Dead Can Dance incorporates bells into some of their pieces. "Orbis de Ignis" off of The Serpent's Egg is one -- it's mainly singing with a few bells interspersed, but does sound rather ominous. Also, on Lisa Gerrard's solo album The Mirror Pool, "Violina: The Last Embrace" is very somber and contains a (small number of) bells. Might not be the mood you're after, but it's good writing music.
Oh, wait -- here's one more (I'm surfing through my iTunes, if you can't tell) Lisa Gerrard also did the soundtrack for The Insider and there's a nice piece on it called "Faith," that's simply a somber string instrumental with a church bell in the background. Again, not big, loud, multiple bells, but bells, nonetheless. :-)
