[2026] Hair-Raising Scary BGM | Compilation (1–10)
Lavender Town ThemeMasuda Junichi
A background track that uses the Game Boy sound system to convey dissonance and instability so strongly that it sparked the overseas urban legend known as the “Lavender Town Syndrome.” “Lavender Town Syndrome” refers to an alleged wave of illness and suicides among Japanese children aged 7 to 12 following the release of Pokémon Green and Red.
Because this area also features the Pokémon Tower, where Pokémon are laid to rest, the events that occur here are known for their horror flavor and poignant atmosphere.
It’s famously one of the most traumatic pieces of music associated with a top trauma spot in the original Pokémon games.
Theme song from the film ‘Suspiria’goburin
A lump of discomfort and anxiety.
Personally, the ominous percussion sounds are truly terrifying.
After layering wind noises and the eerie voice of a grim reaper onto the delicate, music-box-like tones heard in the opening and ending, the mysterious, beautiful melody and the whisper-like, raspy “na-naa” voice intensify the sense of madness.
SouChārī Kurauzā
The panic-horror film “SOW,” which sparked a huge boom in Japan, is psychopathic and brutal in content, yet somehow stirs your curiosity about what will happen next.
The BGM sounds like a heartbeat or even the hum of environmental air conditioning.
In the latter half of the trailer, tones reminiscent of a hazard alarm are added, making it the perfect BGM to heighten the film’s excitement.
Yoshi’s Story Stage 6 BGMTodaka Ikusei
A scary piece of BGM from Yoshi’s Story that partially uses the melody of Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece The Nutcracker.
It plays as you navigate the gears, knives, and other contraptions in Baby Bowser’s castle, and many people probably found it frightening as children.
Beautiful and heartrending, fantasy-style musicBGM maker
This BGM video, which evokes fantastical cityscapes and scenery, features “beautiful yet bittersweet fantasy music.” It was produced by a BGM maker known for creating numerous original tracks.
The beautifully melancholic piano tones resonate, inviting listeners to imagine a story with depth.
From dawn to the dark of night, its ambient sound is versatile and fitting for any scene.
It’s a BGM video that lets you forget everyday fatigue and stress and immerse yourself in a world of fantasy.
It’s also recommended to listen while picturing beautiful landscapes.
Chariots of PumpkinsJohn Carpenter
Halloween, the American splatter film series.
The theme song of this popular franchise is an intensely immersive track.
With its mysterious clattering sounds and dynamic swells, the arrangement creates the illusion of spiraling into panic—part of its appeal.
I definitely recommend listening with headphones.
A Nightmare on Elm Street (Main Theme)Mark Ayres
It’s the first installment in the American horror film series A Nightmare on Elm Street from 1984, which features the killer Freddy.
As expected, the high notes in this piece are striking, but the continuous low drone is also frightening.
It’s a theme song that heightens the sense of fear by creating an atmosphere that something is about to happen.
