[2026] Creepy BGM That Stokes Fear | Compilation (61–70)
Tales of the UnusualKuniaki Haishima
This is the main theme song from Tales of the Unusual.
Back then, if you didn’t watch this drama, you couldn’t join the conversation at school the next day.
It was scary to watch, though…
The song really brings the show’s world to life.
There are no duds on the soundtracks of hit movies and dramas.
It also works well for setting a Halloween mood.
Virtue and ViceFear, and Loathing in Las Vegas
It starts with a single-note electric guitar riff and feels like a song that leans into a rock sound.
I think it’s interesting how it makes you unsure about where the arrangement will go from here.
If the track caught your interest, how about trying it at karaoke?
Go Go Ghost ShipYonezu Kenshi
Speaking of Halloween and ghosts, I recommend giving Kenshi Yonezu’s “Go Go Yureisen” (“Go Go Ghost Ship”) a listen.
He’s especially popular among younger listeners, but since this track is a bit niche, many people might not know it.
Its eerie, ominous guitar sound is perfect for Halloween.
Main titleDaniel Elfman
The theme song from the 1988 horror-comedy film “Beetlejuice.” Its off-beat rhythm, hectic approach that evokes comedy, and eerie atmosphere make it a perfect fit for Halloween night, don’t you think?
Halloween ThemeJohn Carpenter
The theme song from the horror film Halloween.
If you’ve seen the movie, you can probably picture scenes of its killer, Michael Myers, attacking someone.
It’s a classic that evokes a searing sense of anxiety and fear.
