Fear Sound Effects

Fear sound effects for both ends of the scare. The frightened end has panting and panic. A female performer adds bloodcurdling screams, recorded in a studio and in reverberant spaces. Then the things doing the frightening. Haunted mansions and graveyards, and eerie textures made with geophones and electronics.

Fear in a scene often starts with breath, long before anything shows up. The character sets cover that, from panting and shushing to full Panic, so a performance can build from quiet dread to a scream. The screams were recorded in a studio and in reverberant spaces, which helps them sit in a cellar as easily as a corridor. The haunted ambiences set the place, a mansion or a graveyard or a forest, and keep the Suspense up between scares. The textures are stranger. Made from geophone and electronic recordings, they suit a nightmare sequence, a horror game level or a thriller where something is wrong and nothing is seen yet.
