We wanted to celebrate spook season today with our favourite horror movie backing tracks. Music that sends shivers down our spines, sound effects that keep us on the edge of our seat, and instruments that make it all possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, let’s begin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fans all over will always remember the classic quarter note violins from the shower scene of Psycho<\/em> long after the release of the movie in 1960. So much so, in fact, that almost everyone in the Western hemisphere knows the sound of those violin stabs whether they hear them in another film or in a song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But it’s not just the music we remember. So many movies feature their own adaptations of the scene – how’s that for making an impression? We couldn’t write an article about our favourite horror movie background music and not include Psycho<\/strong><\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s mostly thanks to this movie and the music behind it that horror movies are what they are today. How many of us go to the cinema prepared for a scare, but the hairs on the back of our neck still stand up when the creepy sound of a violin sears through the air into our ears? Not least when the killer makes an appearance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
