Free Download Horror Music

Hi, I would want to know if there are some music and sounds that can be used in a horror/mystery story. I mean music and sounds that create tension and suspense and/or that are scary.

Thank you in advance!

With halloween coming up my group and I are doing a horror one-shot. We're looking for songs similar to the exorcist theme in style and pacing. Preferably with little to no lyrics, what are your usual favourites?

The genre is folk/rock, so not what you might expect for a horror game, but just look at some of the song titles: "Lost in Time & Space", "Ancient Names", "Emerald Star". The album has a very cosmic vibe and is described by the band's founder as "a search for meaning amidst the cold indifference of The Universe."

I love horror and I love lists, so welcome to this year's list of the best horror music videos! From 80s camp to Italian giallo I have freaked myself out watching horror films since I was a kid; and that also translates into bite-sized (no Vampire pun intended) films aka the music video! As you watch, the videos that made the cut (ugh, yes a slasher film pun) traverse the genre from violence, evil or terrifying monsters, psychological terror, and plenty of blood.

Certain intervals are scary because they throw the conventions of music harmony and theory into disarray. One, the tritone, was considered so disconcerting that it was called diabolus in musica (the devil in music) by medieval theorists, and avoided at all costs!

Think 1970s horror film ending credits and you have Murder On All Hallows Eve. This mysterious, dark track has a very vintage sound and feel with the steady electronic beat and billowing synths. If your project has an urban Halloween vibe to it, it just might work.

That moment where the audience sees the impending doom before the character is intense, and Something Behind You can help deliver that uncomfortable feeling. Fit for sci-fi and horror trailers, or even a graphic battle scene (especially when the horn comes in), this piece of music is perfect for your scary fantasy.

Despair has a low dark ambient tone that slides right into the background of a blood-filled horror or monster flick. It has deep, ruinous energy to it that could easily be found in a dystopian or end of the world thrill.

With a classic dark piano trill and the hard scratch of strings, Someone Is In Our Basement carries a very Psycho vibe to it. It has sharp sliding strings that burst into a chilling circular piano for the ultimate in-your-seat startle. It would make a vivid opening piece for a slasher or paranormal horror.

With a mystic, far-off sound, Secrets and Mysteries is a scary background music download for a project reminiscent of 1970s horror. With a nod to old-school electronics and an airy piano, it has a real dark alley vibe.

This slow, dark cinematic piece is perfect if you want something to lurk in the background of your opening credit scene. With the low hum of female vocals that are added around the 30-second mark, this feels like a great horror alternative to The Little Mermaid.

The right background music will help not only move your story along, but your audience connects to it on a more emotional level.

Horror punk is a music genre that mixes punk rock and 1950s-influenced doo-wop and rockabilly sounds with morbid and violent imagery and lyrics which are often influenced by horror films and science fiction B-movies.[1][2] The genre was pioneered by the Misfits in the late 1970s and early 1980s.[3] Subsequent bands formed in the Misfits' wake like Mourning Noise, the Undead and Samhain, solidifying horror punk's first wave. In the late 1990s and early 2000s the genre gained attention through the reunion of the Misfits and success of groups like AFI, Son of Sam and the Murderdolls. This popularity continued to the modern day with Blitzkid, Calabrese and Creeper.

During the earliest stages of the gothic rock genre, "horror punk" was one term often misapplied to the genre.[5] While both horror punk and gothic rock pull from many of the same points of reference,[6] and sometimes early horror punk groups, particularly the Misfits, are themselves cited as being "proto-gothic", the two genres are distinctly separate by modern definitions.[7] However, the gothic rock genre death rock, with its emphasis on influence from punk rock, contains significant overlap with horror punk. Although, death rock lacks horror punk's rockabilly and doo-wop influences, instead paying a greater attention to musical atmospheres.[1] Psychobilly is also a closely related style to horror punk, particularly during the 2000s when the genres became increasingly intertwined. In an article by Kerrang!, writer Chris Krovatin stated that "the two [genres] have become so accepting of one another, that to make the distinction feels like splitting hairs". Some psychobilly groups even take influence from horror punk imagery, notably Tiger Army.[8]

The meeting of horror imagery and rock music has existed since the genre's earliest years. 1950s rock and roll singer Screamin' Jay Hawkins and his single "I Put a Spell on You" is a prominent example of this, through its allusions to voodoo. Additionally, teenage tragedy songs such as "Teen Angel", "Endless Sleep" and "Moody River", were a popular style of songwriting which emphasised horror during the 1950s and 1960s. These elements continued into the 70s with the advent of glam rock and heavy metal. Pioneering groups such as Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath used horror themes extensively throughout their careers.[8]

One of the most prominent influences on horror punk was the Cramps' merger of rockabilly and Shock Theater influenced imagery and lyrics. Furthermore, the Damned one of the earliest English punk rock bands made use of a horror influenced aesthetic. In particular, the band's vocalist David Vanian shaped his stage persona around the 1931 film Dracula and its leading actor Bela Lugosi.[8]

The Misfits formed in 1977 and began creating music influenced by the then-burgeoning punk rock scene. After recording the album Static Age in 1978, they began writing music inspired by science fiction and B-movie horrors. At the same time, they began using the titular character from the Crimson Ghost (1946) as their logo, wearing makeup, clothes with skeleton patterns during performances and employed a style of hair inspired by Eddie Munster that they came to term a "devilock". Through this stylistic shift, they laid the groundwork for all future horror punk bands.[9] After Misfits guitarist Bobby Steele departed from the band, he formed New York horror punk band the Undead.[10] Steve Zing who was a part of the band's local Lodi, New Jersey following was one of the earliest musicians influenced by the Misfits. Zing formed his own horror punk Mourning Noise in 1981.[11] Following the 1983 breakup of the Misfits, vocalist Glenn Danzig formed Samhain, a similarly horror-themed punk band.[12] The band released only two albums during their time as a band, with a third recorded at the time being released posthumously in 1990. By this time the band's members were instead pursuing the heavy metal band Danzig.[13]

In the early 1980s the death rock genre was pioneered in Los Angeles by groups like 45 Grave, Christian Death, Super Heroines and Kommunity FK.[14] Although death rock and horror punk are separate styles of punk, they bear a significant overlap through emphasis on horror themes and imagery.[15] Death rock band 45 Grave, in particular, are massively influential on horror punk.[16]

The Misfits reformed in 1995, this time featuring Michale Graves on vocals, releasing two albums before his 1998 departure. Although a period of the band often demeaned by its fanbase, the Graves era of the Misfits played a significant role in increasing the notoriety of the band and horror punk in general. Prior to the reunion, they were a band influential amongst the punk and metal scenes however were obscure outside of that circle. It was only during the 1990s that "the majority of rock fans woke up to them".[17]

A new wave of horror punk emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s. AFI, who had previously been established as hardcore band, transitioned into a horror punk sound following their 1998 recruitment of guitarist Jade Puget.[8] A 2022 article published by Metal Hammer credited their 1998 album Black Sails in the Sunset as having "reinvented the horror punk of the Misfits for a new generation".[18] In 2000, AFI vocalist Davey Havok formed Son of Sam alongside the 1999 reunion lineup of Samhain. This lineup released one album Songs from the Earth in 2001.[19] Another key figure from this period was Wednesday 13, who Metal Hammer writer Rich Hobson termed a "horror-punk hero". In 2002 he formed the Murderdolls alongside Joey Jordison, which began writing by "cannibalising" the music of 13's prior band Frankenstein Drag Queens from Planet 13. Following the band's 2004 hiatus, he began a solo-career.[20] At this same time, horror punk-influenced bands also gained notability, including My Chemical Romance, Alkaline Trio and Tiger Army.[8]

During the 2000s, the distinction between psychobilly and horror punk became increasingly obscured. The Creepshow were one prominent band blurring these genre lines. During this same period, Blitzkid's merger of "goth's stretching shadow and pop-punk's teenage humanity" too gained notability alongside Calabrese.[21] 2351a5e196
