When you need sounds for horror scoring, you’re spoilt for choice with KONTAKT – everything from ghoulish gasps to dreadful drones, can be downloaded for free from many developers’ websites. If you’re looking to recreate a particular vibe from the genre’s expansive cinematic legacy, then pay special attention to the soundtracks of that era. The 80’s were heavy on minimal synth scoring whereas further back the screeching strings of Bernard Herrmann accompanied psychotic shower stabbings. Modern horror soundtracks are incredibly varied, featuring multiple techniques from fully orchestrated cues to simpler solo instrumentation.
