  • Im here from TVTropes.

  • Just the other day I was watching Supernatural and wondering how they make creepy sounds. Well, now I know!

  • This sounds EXACTLY like the sounds being heard all over the world. Does it not?

  • Submachine?

  • Oh hey look, it's Scarecrow's favorite instrument.

  • Kind of reminds me of the music that plays in the Zoram Strand in Ashenvale in WoW.

  • stop creeping me out

  • i would love to play one of these. in the middle of the woods. in the pitch dark.

  • @mountaindrewbc While your friends are trying to look for you. After you've told them a terrifying horror story around a campfire.

  • LOST!

  • Dang the woman's wearing something straight out of Silent Hill!

  • I. WANT. ONE. OF. THESE. @_@

  • Dude, it sounds like like the creepy music form the ring! @_@

  • this sonds exactly like when the most scariest horror icon poppes out at you or when they atleast are going to.Play that waterphone on the high note and youd be scared shetless cause of its eeries sound

  • Minecraft cave sounds?

  • I want to walk around downtown, in a cloak, whilst playing this.

  • @fcdog555

    I want to shake your hand.

    That is brilliant!

  • @TheOriginalArchetype haha a hand shake does sound appropriate.

  • Who made this instrument? Is this made by Richard Waters or is this the knockoff version?

  • AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

  • Cthulhu anyone?

  • @MagnetThunder3528 totally

  • heard this in l.a. noire too :D thanks tvtropes

  • Well, thank you. Now I have tingles running down my spine. 

  • Thumbs up if TvTropes sent you here.

  • Now I know where Kenji Kawai (composer for Ring and Dark Water) gets that ripping metallic sound

  • So, who came here from Tv Tropes?

  • @acvioleteye I did! And it's almost 11 at night. Guess I'm not sleeping tonight.

  • @acvioleteye You caught me... *blushes*

  • @acvioleteye *raises hand* :3

  • @acvioleteye No, I would never do such a thing! ... Okay, maybe I would...

  • Akira Yamaoka's fav instrument :P

  • @Lordrandom1 Exactly what I was thinking.

  • Bjork has one of those :D

  • Oh God, I NEED one of those, especially at night! Better than any fancy home security alarm!

  • My soul has been filled with terror.

  • Silent Hill!

  • It's like the sound equivalent of cracking open that rusty old door and entering the abandoned insane asylum, or the supposedly haunted prison...

  • Is all that natural reverb?

  • i want one of these fuckers, i could really scare the shit out of some folks

  • Sounds like one of the instruments they used to make one of the songs in the matrix movies.

  • Wow. That's one hell of a creepy ass sounding instrument..

  • @EvilCleric Haha when I heard it I got chills...def freaked me out. xP

  • o....m...g...*googles to buy*

  • THAT'S what that sound is? Awesome!

  • I want one...and do you just play it with a regular bow?

  • These, Cellos and Steel Drums are the best instruments ever for ambient noise

  • that's Alma's tune from F.E.A.R.

  • Absolutely beautiful sound

  • Ooh cool looking instrument!

    *hears the sounds*

    mommy help me

  • God, that gave me chills.

  • Coolest sound ever. :3

  • So that's where the creepy music comes from.

  • Oh, I like this sound, I like it.

  • I think they used it in Alien movie inside the Pilot's ship

  • I've always wondered about that sound.

  • Some lighting would go a long way towards making the performer NOT look like the girl from The Ring. With that creepy sound, I half expected her to crawl out of the monitor and weird me to death.

    Waterphones rock!

  • It sounds like the music when something deranged or disturbing appears in a movie.

  • That's where they usually use it.

  • @Gramra its the insturment they use in movies xd ;p

  • @Gramra

    it's what they use for those.

  • omg i need one sooo tight

  • I love these instruments.

  • Wow that thing there, is for insane people!

  • coool i really need one

  • I want to build one. That's awesome.

  • Such a cool instrument, most people don't even know what it is or what it looks like but they hear it in orchestral music all the time....

  • I know XD

    I always used to think it was just squeaking gates XD

  • haahaha!!! thats halarious!!! like i can just imagine in a full orchestra, everyone has their places, and then there is just a place for the set of gates.

  • AH I WANT ONE

    why do they need to be so much

  • because it takes alot of time to get the metal bars in the right tune.
