Ambient music for Skeletons of Scarwall


Curse of the Crimson Throne

I am still far away from getting to SoS, but since preparation is half the battle, asking now is the best method.

I need spooky music for Skeletons of Scarwall, the more the better. Preferred would be the traditional horror film organ music well known ( and parodied ) in film and games. Any help in getting that music would be highly appreciated.

An example of what I am looking for

Something like this, with the organ music interspersed ( at 1,25 ) would be fine, too

This might fit the bill, from the recent anime series Guin Saga's OST.

This might also be another fit for you, from the Fatal Fury series

Thanks, those are excellent.

Anyone got more?

While not organ music, Lustmord is good for ambient creepiness. To be honest I think the organ music is a bit over the top (unless that's the intent)

Check out Katchuturian's Masquerade Suite (on itunes). Great for the Danse Macabre.

Thanks, I'll check those out.

A slight irony/cheesiness overdose with the organ music is the intended effect. Sometimes being stereotypical can be fun. :p

I'll admit, though, that playing it constantly will probably get on my players nerves quite quickly, so creepy music without organs is quite good, too. :)

If you like organs, you can never go wrong with Bach's Tocatta for creepiness. :-)

Oh dude, did you post in the right place for THIS! Okay, to start, anything by Michiru Yamane for the Castlevania series. Is the foreword's title starting to make more sense?

More to follow.

Not what you are looking for, but I always liked this song. For a prebattle inspiring mood music.

linky

and Schneider, never played that game but I agree the music is good. I got two friends that just love that game.

The Dark Crystal soundtrack (music by Trevor Jones) has a pretty intense organ piece, but it's brief. It's from a deleted scene, found here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCLJWYc_Zwk

Of course, the version in the soundtrack is better quality. Good luck finding it.

Another one I like for a kinda creepy waltz style music, I have always loved Camille Saint-Saëns - Danse Macabre

Eternal Darkness had some great stuff.

A lot of Jesper Kyd's stuff is very cool, the new Assassin's Creed II soundtrack especially.

Batman Begins

Silent Hill

Vampire Hunter D

Rachmaninoff's Prelude In C Sharp Minor, Op.3, No.2

You know what, screw it. Check out the blog in the next day or so. We put a big old list of music recommended for RPGs in the GameMastery Guide, I throw that up here shortly.

Another one, this one from Van Helsing Movie. Not sure who did the music though.

Devil's Waltz

I know waltz music is not what the OP is looking for. :)

Thanks, those are all great! They'll help immensely. Keep them coming.

And, yeah, I'll definitely check out the blog. Thanks! :)


The Name of the Rose Soundtrack has some useful stuff.

A inspirational song for fighting what seems to be overwhelming odds.

Well, to be honest I don't know how appropiate that sound would be in a gothic horror castle. :)

Oh I agree it wouldn't be of any use to you know. I just listed it cause I really like the song and it might be something you can find a use for down the road. I wasn't sure if the waltz's I listed before fit what you wanted either. :)

Those can be used, although they'd probably fit better into a vampire filled castle. ;)

Oh and given the Hellraiser influences, Hellraiser soundtrack by Christopher Young has some good grandiose horror atmospherics.

Yeah i would check out a lot of movie sound tracks. Anything dark could work. But especially things dark fantasy stuff.

Because I am not sure which of those soundtracks would be good, is why I created this thread. :p

You can search youtube for them. You can normally find many that way.

Also on the blog today is the gamemastery music list. It is a pretty good list.
