Royalty Free Horror / Scary Music

Spiritual, religious and inspirational christian music with a dramatic climax. Hallelujah, darkness becomes light.

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.

Dark and suspenseful ambient track with piano and electronic elements

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.

Fantasy hybrid orchestral theme. With it's strong sense of the mysterious, feel the gothic vibes through lush string melodies and shimmering harmonics, sprinkled with harp and celeste runs and enhanced with dark choral spirits. Backed by an industrial percussive beat with a string ostinato for an animated sense of action and adventure, deepened by the brooding brass, it's sure to create a magical and tense world of mystical imagination.

A trippy, ethereal ambient background track with white noise and synth textures evoking a mysterious, uncertain mood

Futuristic ambient soundscape. Perfect as background music in science fiction movies, games and videos thanks to its digital sense of expanse and meandering openness, it's built on haunting synth tones and interjecting glitch effects and textures. No real rhythmic feel, just a dark and mysterious vibe with a hint of suspense.

Spooky goings-on and creepy encounters guaranteed with this one - with a mix of playful kitsch and genuine horror soundscape, it has a bit of everything. Starting with a light glockenspiel and piano theme to set a tone of mystery and an air of suspense, things turn ugly for a disturbing mid section of synth warps and panicked effects, which never completely goes away as the main theme returns. Dramatic and familiarly chilling.

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 (hybrid) track, featuring piano, strings, brass and FX. A lulling, yet dissonant piano theme takes centre stage, accompanied by legato violins and various chilling percussive effects to a sharp climax, before returning to the more sedate, yet unsettling motif. Edgy and intense, with an unresolved ending.  

An epic, powerful and dark hybrid cinematic dubstep track, featuring glitched beats, war drums, aggressive bass and choir

Tense orchestral track. Evoking dark satanic ceremonies and gothic energy through heavy use of the chanting choir, and destabilising the listener with uneven time signatures, it's a piece that leaves no doubt about its sinister intentions. Sharp, jagged strings, punctuated brass and tribal percussion contribute to the mood from the start, never letting up on the energy and intensity throughout. Unsettling and soaked in desperate, impending damnation.

639 Hz - a frequency filled with love, radiance, and positive energy. It's the frequency of the heart, but don't expect James Blunt style whinings. This is a meditation soundscape designed to go much deeper, whistling straight into your inner core with haunting tones and evolving sound design. As useful for cinematic ambience as it is for spiritual energising, it's said to help you build harmonious relationships with others. Might work better than a mix tape of 80's love ballads.

Atmospheric hybrid track with a psychological edge. Making good use of cutting synth and string themes for suspense, and a deep, pulsing beat for tension and movement, there remains space for a piano melody to add progressive interest with a deliberately vague and ambiguous feel. An overall steady and tense piece that creates a mysterious, thrilling landscape.

Futuristic and apocalyptic track. After starting with a pulsing, time-ticking build up to generate tension and a suffocating intensity, the pounding industrial percussion, screaming synth leads and grinding sub bass are let loose to fry your brain. Staggered and disruptive throughout but somehow generating an underlying rhythmic stability, it's certainly an effect rather than a melody.

Powerful, dark and ambient track with themes of despair and impending doom, featuring eerie pads and synths. No beat, no impacts, just a synth created soundscape to put you on the edge of darkness. Shimmering and unsettling, with a rich sense of wonder.

Orchestral hybrid track with a strong aggressive streak. Starting with soft strings and underlying textures, the mood turns harder as industrial percussion kicks in, creating a chaotic fusion between jagged strings and harsh brass runs. Ominous, highly charged and tense.

A mysterious mix of classical and electronic styles to create a solemn, ambient vibe. A pulsing kick drum beat adds tension and movement under the suspense of light strings and an enchanting female vocal melody, enhanced by light brass, harp and vibraphone to blossom into the finale. Dreamily dark, sinisterly intriguing and a little bit mesmerizing.

Fast moving orchestral string track. Traditional pizzicato, Bartok pizzicato, tremolo, marcato shorts and legato passages all add to the ever changing dynamic landscape of the piece for a sumptuous and playful vibe that's free flowing and energetic. Rhythmically adventurous due to tempo changes, fast staccatto passages and smooth, contrasting themes, you never truly settle and find yourself swallowed by a piece full of suspense, edginess and nervous energy.  

Dark and ambient cinematic hybrid, featuring eerie pads and synths. Starting from a gritty soundscape of synth drones and warped effects, it flourishes into a more melodic theme of bright, open chords and subtle background string ostinato - an airy, euphoric release from the tension generated either side of it, as the return of the edgy darkness takes over once again. Futuristic and downtempo atmospheres with a haunting beauty.
