Sometimes it's the innocent simplicity that hides the darkest terrors. With a menacing detuned piano theme penetrating your brain over a backdrop of atmospheric vinyl crackle, string swarms and percussive metal hits, this horror trailer track has the brooding sense of witnessing something you really don't want to see. Very dark, very atmospheric, and very horror.

Electronic horror-themed track with arpeggiated keyboard, underlying light trap beat and synth pulses

Horror soundscape theme. What starts as an atmospheric horror build up of risers, metal hits, orchestral swarms and harmonics, harp glissandi and random percussive elements finally breaks into a short, off-beat orchestral string theme. Diabolically dramatic with no sense of tempo but a strong sense of tension, it's a track to catch you off guard and keep you guessing.

Dark suspense track. With gothic overtones thanks to the choral themes and cinematic fantasy thanks to the repeated glockenspiel and piano motifs, the horror seeds are planted early on to generate the brooding atmosphere. With a deep, rolling bass line and booming percussion enhanced by synth drops, brass rasps and jagged strings, it soon becomes a nightmarish mix of ominous energy and overwhelming helplessness.

Background horror soundscape incorporating orchestral clusters and swarms, choral effects and various textures in order to create a tense atmosphere. Also using slow building risers and hits makes this more than just an ambient piece, giving a useable, more diverse track to match visuals to. Dark and agitated, perfect for horror, suspense and thriller genres.

It all depends on how you're feeling. On the one hand, this is a deep, soul searching soundscape of profound, inner vibrations - an electronic soup of slowly evolving tones, drones and unresolved mutations that leads you to mysterious places and intriguing discovery, safe in the knowledge that at this pace, you'll have the time to fall into it's myriad hypnotic states. On the other hand, it's the soundtrack to your worst, most isolated horror nightmares and the darkest, creepiest underworld you never want to visit. The choice is yours - it's just a question of context.

Creepy melodies, weird sounds and disturbing noises designed to create a send of dread. Featuring scary strings, music box and rhythmic synths to drive it on, it lies somewhere between a deranged ethnic ensemble and a contemporary, cinematic action tension builder. A little bit different, and all the better for it, whilst maintaining its roots in the cinematic horror camp.

High energy horror with a powerful Hollywood sound. An edgy orchestral track featuring manic, fast paced violins and brass stabs, complemented by whirling woodwinds. Unsettling in its build up, it cuts to a pause in order to regenerate the mood once again with the nervous strings, adding a stronger, disorienting off-beat feel. Lots of foreboding tension, especially helped by a constant military snare, and an overall sinister mood make this perfect for dramatic action scenes with a darker ambience.

A fast paced, characterful orchestral string ensemble piece. Lots of interwoven rhythmic play, as the intricacy of the string parts dominates the overall stuttered and tense mood. Gritty and nervous for the majority, with a calming middle section that rebuilds to the original skittish theme, the use of dissonance, changing tempo and off-beat accents highlights the intended drama and suspense, making this perfect for thriller, noir and horror genres.

Orchestral carnival theme with a sense of the macabre. Very animated, with all the instruments of the orchestra featured for a dynamic and at times, deliberately hectic and manic feel, it captures both the fun, comical side of the circus with the darker, more horror themed associations we've come to see on the big screen. Hauntingly enjoyable.

A short, spooky horror theme with a vintage, lo-fi feel to evoke those darkest of unwanted memories from times best forgotten. Hollow and brittle, but hypnotically repetitive, there are small subtleties to lift it - detuned instruments, dropouts, jagged string stabs and pizzicato - with a near constant deep brooding bass to rumble your bones. An edgy and mysterious, fast moving track that works great as a tension builder or scene setter.

Sweet piano piece with haunting undertones. Never quite certain if it's a gentle lullaby or a sinister horror soundtrack, its multi-level nuances come from the slightest interval changes in the piano melodies. Backed by evolving cello textures and enchanting bells, it's a lilting track of sweet dreams ....... and perhaps sweeter nightmares.

Orchestral fantasy track. Opening with a dramatic sequence of string ostinato and female vocal aahs, and building in intenstity through legato strings, rhythmic percussion and stabbing brass, the mood changes to a softer, magical mid-section of vocals and sweeping strings, sprinkled with harp runs and chimes. The action soon returns with more beating taiko rhythm and full orchestra to the climax of a piece that suggests epic drama, action, mystery and heroism.  

Orchestral hybrid tension builder. Starting purely synth based with rapid arpeggiated chords, the intensity subtly and gradually increases with added electro bass, then choir, then industrial drum beat. String and brass stabs highlight the dramatic mood, swells enhance the suspense and the ceaseless underlying rhythm racks up the tension til the end. Cinematic action with a strong electro presence.

Intense and terrifying cinematic theme, with creepy pads and synths, pulsating percussion and a sinister atmosphere. Creating a disturbing intensity with aggressive sirens and impacts, they give way to a softer, more psychological tension of synth melody and dark textures in this steady paced, truly atmospheric soundscape full of background subtlety and effects.
