[2026] Terrifying Hair-Raising BGM | Compilation (41–50)
Carol Anne’s ThemeJerry Goldsmith
A masterpiece by Jerry Goldsmith where a fantastical melody and eerie atmosphere intertwine exquisitely.
It was released as a track on the soundtrack for the film Poltergeist, which premiered in June 1982.
In the movie, it serves as the theme for the young heroine, Carol Anne, brilliantly contrasting her innocence with the supernatural.
The piece begins with gentle piano tones and gradually swells as the orchestra joins, evolving into a grand, breathtaking arrangement.
It’s perfect as background music for a Halloween party, and also highly recommended for quietly listening on a calm night.
Theme song from the movie ‘JAWS’John Williams
The immensely famous master of film music, John Williams, created this BGM signaling the approach of a shark.
The timpani and horn rhythm, combined with piercing strings and piano, convey the tension of the monstrous “shark” drawing near.
Even director Spielberg acknowledged it as a “major factor in the film’s success.” As expected from a genius—it’s terrifyingly effective!
Main Theme of the Movie “Resident Evil”Marilyn Manson
The main theme created by Marilyn Manson, famous for the Resident Evil series.
The music box perfectly captures the image of a city lurking with zombies, expressing a decadent beauty—truly a masterpiece.
Listening to it at night might even keep you from sleeping.
Theme of The ExorcistMike Oldfield
Many people were probably quite shocked by that sensational footage at the time.
This is the theme song from a movie made around the theme of a spirit medium and exorcist.
It’s such a well-crafted piece that you almost feel as if you might get possessed while listening to it.
The endlessly looping high-pitched refrain stirs up a sense of fear.
Self/lessAntonio Pinto
Background music used in the 2016 sci-fi film “Self/less.” It conveys the panic experienced by the protagonist, who is thrown into an incomprehensible sci-fi world.
It’s a three-dimensional BGM that intuitively evokes fear and anxiety; ideally, listen with headphones or in a setup that provides stereo imaging, with the bass emphasized.
Angel HeartTorevua Jōnzu
The background music from the 1986 film Angel Heart, set in New York City.
In this trailer, various sound effects are layered over the BGM, and its lo-fi sound quality—recorded with the technology of the time—heightens the sense of fear.
The BGM itself also amplifies a constant feeling of unease, as if something bad is about to happen.
The theme song of the movie “Friday the 13th”Harī Manfuredīni
When it comes to horror movies, you just can’t leave out Friday the 13th.
The fun part of this track is definitely that high-pitched, screechy scariness—it’s the kind of BGM that instantly conjures up Jason’s mask.
It’s a spine-chilling theme song that amped up the 1980 splatter-film masterpiece!
