Horror sound effects. Sound effects and terrifying ambient sounds.

A ghost appears

Gen Hoshino – Otherworldly Mixed Grand Ball (feat. Obake) [Official Video]

Music that would play right where the monsters appear in a horror attraction.

From the very beginning, the sly chuckles that seem to mock the frightened drag listeners into fear.

The ceaseless, sinister laughter makes you feel as if you might even lose track of where you are.

Eerie Piano

Scary songs that exist in this world

The beautiful, delicate melody carries a mysterious vibrato that evokes a classic horror atmosphere.

Though heavy, the wistful tune is better suited to a fragile yet beautiful kind of horror than to blood-splattered splatter films.

The Ghost in the Well

#21 [Medium Spicy] If you go down into a haunted old well and close the lid, what kind of world is it in there? [Paranormal]

In the dead of night, when no one is awake, you hear something coming from around the old well.

Intermittent dripping, as if water were trickling down into it, even though it isn’t raining.

What is it? As you ponder this, something quietly creeps up on you.

In the silence, the sound of water ebbs and flows, near and far, vividly real.

The rundown inn

Dissonant tones flicker beneath a beautiful melodic line, like those used in horror games.

They’re highly effective at instilling a vague sense of unease in the listener.

I picture entering a Western-style mansion that was once opulent but now, with no one living in or visiting it, is left to fade and decay as time passes.

Collapse of a building

A very short sound effect, but one that seems perfect for a scene where the Western-style mansion has just come crashing down—made it by a hair! It leaves you feeling helpless, as if all you can do is stand there drenched in the pouring rain, staring blankly at the sight.

Creeping terror

CREEP – HOW TO PRONOUNCE IT? #creep

A richly immersive horror sound that feels like it could open a horror film, as if we’re heading straight into a menacing, ominous place.

Sporadically scattered, irregular echoes and sound effects resembling a woman’s call heighten the sense of fear even further.

suspicious fog

Factory Chief Oni 3rd Generation: Micro-Priming

These sound effects vividly evoke the fear of finding yourself in a suddenly formed, pure white fog, with no sense of direction and nothing to do but move forward aimlessly.

The faint melody you hear also hints at an impending threat.
