For a kid-friendly YouTube channel, try a track like “Shadow Race,” which features a zany orchestra and rapid BPM that is sure to make kids want to dance around the room (the sugar rush from all the Halloween candy may have something to do with it as well). If your video involves a playful party vibe, check out “Midnight Surf,” a surf rock track featuring spooky electric guitar to stir up a fun, sly mood, or the whimsical “Halloween Time,” which features theremin and organ and other spooky sounds. How to use scary music: Halloween music for YouTube Adding Halloween music to your next YouTube video is an excellent way to get your viewers excited for the spooky season. So if you want your audience to feel involved in your scary project on a deep, visceral level, be sure to include some spooky music. Studies have actually found that scary songs that feature irregular minor chords trigger the same instinctual response in listeners that a mother marmot feels when her young are threatened. By aligning a moment in which a character yanks open the door at the end of a dark hall, for example, with a sudden key change in the music, the video editor effectively increases the effect that moment will have on viewers. Pros often try to sync up visual cuts with shifts in the music. Video editors can then use those tracks in their editing process. Filmmakers may select a spooky soundtrack that enhances the emotional impact their film has on viewers.

It simply would not be the same! Horror, suspense, and psychological drama films all benefit from the inclusion of nail-biting tracks. Imagine your favorite scary movie without its eerie soundtrack.

Scary music is a key component in a variety of films.
