Horror and Royalty-Free Music Powered by AI

Feeling scared yet? This collection of spooky and bone-chilling royalty-free music brings suspense and darkness into the mix. May include special, horror-filled sound effects.

What is it about horror that gets under your skin? Is it the quiet creak of a door, the distant crash of thunder, or the heartbeat-quickening whispers of unseen danger? More often than not, it’s the music that grips viewers, pulling them deeper into the terror.

How Horror Music Creates Fear and Suspense

Horror music doesn’t just support the visuals—it tells the story, heightens anxiety, sets the mood, and delivers jump-scare moments that leave audiences gasping for breath:

  • The low, faint hum in the background plays on your nerves, making you watch each shadow twice.
  • Sudden violins or a deep ominous bass send shivers running down your spine.
  • Slow notes keep you in suspense.
  • Horror audio drags listeners into the scene and sharpens their sense of unease with every chilling note.

With Mubert’s music by mood tools, you can create and download a mix of terror and tension for your project via a free or paid plan, ensuring your audience is thoroughly unsettled.

  • video games and gaming apps;
