Sinister Sonics

Posted : October 5th, 2014

I thought we’d mix it up a little bit today and offer something from this century. Sinister Sonics started out as a side project of dark artist, designer and entrepreneur Chad Savage in 2003. The Challenge: Create some sound loops that (a) would create a genuinely creepy atmosphere in a haunted house, (b) looped seamlessly and were long enough not to get repetitive, and (c) didn’t utilize the same 20 sound effects that every haunted house/Halloween tape/CD had been using for the preceding 3 decades.

Sinister Sonics are audio collages that pull from a variety of sources: Sound FX, movies, TV, music, you name it. You might recognize something, but most of it has been mutated and twisted out of true (as much to avoid copyright infringement lawsuits as anything else!).

Each track is designed to work as a self-sustaining loop that can be used in a room at a haunted house or Hallowe’en party. They can also be played end-to-end to create a sort of audio journey through a nightmare soundscape.

Download and use them as you like – haunt your house, your party, your neighbors, whatever!
