If you haven't come across this, I recommend Phrygian Dominant.

1 b2 3 4 5 b6 b7

It's called Phrygian "Dominant" because it's just the Phrygian mode with a raised 3 (which gives it the tritone between the 3 and 7 like a Dominant 7 Chord).

And pick really close to the bridge. It's totally cliché but fun.

You can also make Lydian Dominant with the same trick (just lower the 7 in Lydian). You can hear Lydian Dominant in the Pee Wee's Big Adventure soundtrack.
