BGM for a haunted house. Scary music.

Some classes might plan a haunted house for their school festival or cultural festival, right?

There are tons of elements to obsess over in a haunted house—worldbuilding, visuals, lighting, and how you scare people—but one thing you mustn’t forget is the BGM!

If you have music that instantly ramps up the fear just by playing, it raises the quality of the haunted house on its own.

So in this article, we’ve rounded up some delightfully scary BGM tracks that are perfect for haunted houses.

If you’re struggling to decide what kind of BGM to use, feel free to use this as a reference!

BGM usable for haunted houses. Scary Music (51–60)

Kamaitachi no Yoru – Suspicion and DoubtKatō Kōta

A track featured in the horror game Kamaitachi no Yoru.

As the title suggests, a sense of unease washes over you the more you listen.

It’s a piece from the second installment in the series that followed Otogirisō, which introduced the new “sound novel” genre on the Super Famicom.

Because the game sits halfway between watching TV and playing a game, the music deliberately sticks to what you might call a traditional score.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U BGM: Meta Knight’s RevengeIshikawa Jun

An arrangement of the piece that plays during the opening of “Revenge of Meta Knight,” which was also included in the Super Famicom game Kirby Super Star.

It’s arranged in a jazz style; the jazz piano brings both a cool flair and an unsettling, ominous atmosphere.

A ghost by my pillowAiobahn & Yunomi

There are plenty of people who dress up like ghosts for cosplay and the like, right? How about listening to a song themed around “ghosts”? This track is a very poppy dance tune, perfect for listening at home and also great for playing at clubs.
