Composing for Horror

Taking inspiration from the works of John Carpenter, David Lynch, and many great games like the Silent Hill franchise, the original Outlast, and many others, this collection of sound design spans a variety of unique sonic colors.

Many of the sounds and styles ranging in the atmospheric, dark, and sometimes demonic, using a wide variety of synthesizers, complex sampling techniques, and experimental audio manipulation.

I started this catalog because it was always something I wanted to do. I've worked on a number of films and video games, but I also wanted to actively update a growing library of my own custom work, as a way of giving something special to the great community of game devs that I have found so many fun collaborations with in the past.

I hope you enjoy this work, and maybe even find something to use in your own game. If nothing else, I hope I can inspire you to start your own efforts in creating a work of horror, whether it be a game, film, or a soundtrack of your own. Please feel free to send any questions, special requests, or inquiries my way. I would love to hear them.

All the best

Tom Casey
