[2026] Eerie BGM That Evokes Fear | Compilation (51–60)
The Kindaichi Case Files – The Mysterious Mallets – Extended VersionMidake Akira
This BGM from the TV drama “The Kindaichi Case Files” soundtrack is especially famous as a ‘trauma-inducing’ track.
The drama itself portrays scenes like the victims’ murders in a grotesque way, and this piece was used in those moments.
The sound is simple, but that simplicity gives it a cold feel—many people probably find it chilling to the bone.
