Creating Scary Music for Horror Movies

Scary music in horror movies can be created in two ways: by using screechy, irregular tones that resemble screams and by incorporating low grumbling sounds with lots of bass. The screechy tones resemble sounds made by scared animals, while low frequencies can trigger fear and anxiety as they indicate something big or dangerous. By combining these elements, filmmakers can create music that is both scary and exciting for viewers.
