Top Fifteen Scariest Music Tracks from Non-Horror Games

[Chaman2019]

I watched this before I went to sleep and just after watching someone was shouting in what sounded like horror outside. Spooky!

[TheRiddler343]

Oh, and I REFUSE to believe number one is a non horror game with that type of music.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

[TheRiddler343]

Damn, I remember Magus's castle.

Always hated that place because of the unsettling atmosphere and how the music lingered on through battles.

Not to mention the annoying boss fights.

[RaNdOmCoUpLeSfAn]

no lavender town from pokemon red/blue/yellow,shame

[Wafafelxyz]

what about end of the world from kingdom hearts?

or old chateau from pokemon?

[hydrablast13666]

What the fuck?eversion happens to be a indie/horror game,it's entire purpose is to trick people into thinking it's this hapy game since it's as evil as satan himself!

Good list nontheless

[Ants64comms]

...you know my drink.....at number 14 batman.....well my drink is now...on the floor...on me....on the computer.....you get the picture...maybe i should not have a drink when it comes to scary things.....

[urfavblackguy]

majoras mask very creepy very nice

[supahrazy]

for me the scariest sound/music is silence... just silence...

[Dartpaw86]

@supahrazy You have a good point. Sometimes in videogames when I'm going through an area and there's just dead silence. It is really eerie. Like something huge is going to happen or just silence.

Want to know a good example? Play Elder Scrolls 1, the dungeons are always just silence except you can hear doors opening from somewhere or automatically closing behind you as well it amplifies the screams/moans/growls of the monsters. And the fact the areas are really really dim. Really creepy.

[SuperGarfieldJordan1]

@Scruffy0105 evension

[Deathini]

Is it over yet.... (gulp)



[pokehacker]

scarecrow literally scared the shit right outta me.. no joke i needed a change of pants after that first level

[TouruZen]

I was expecting Myotismon's mansion theme on this list but ohw well, That being said.

Most of these were pretty creepy but only number 1 made me really ... well fear

[MrSilverHedgie]

So I'm playing Sonic 06 and as soon as I start to play Silver's Story I change the music settings to high, then Mephiles appears and my stereo blasts me with pure fawking horror.

DAMNIT MEPHILES

[darkgalxia12]

God damn YouTube comment character limit grumble...grumble...

2. Is that a dementor from Harry Potter 3? AHHHHHH IT IS!! God damn these things were scary until the fifth movie where Harry just f***ing destroys them.

1. Oh playrooms how I hate thee

[Dartpaw86]

@darkgalxia12 They were scarier in the books. Much scarier... because J.K Rowling extremely goes deep with how psychologically freaky they are. Sucking out souls, making people realize their worst fears, sucking all the happiness wherever they go. In the movies they made them "Fly" and gave them a skeletal look which both weren't in the books making them much more mysterious because she never really explains what they looked like under those cloaks.

[darkgalxia12]

@Dartpaw86 Well I wouldn't know since I haven't read any of the books.

[Dartpaw86]

@darkgalxia12 That's fine :) I don't even know why I brought it up to tell you the truth :D

[darkgalxia12]

10. God, this music scares the crap out of me every time I replay Majora's mask

9. I have never heard of Eversion before this but i'll definitely check it out.

8. This track literally gave me nightmares mainly because of the children screaming most likely screaming in pain.

7. Am I the only one who thinks that this song should have some kind of hidden meaning?

6. Um this is a kids game right?

5. Wow you actually put a song from Okami on the list.

4. OH GOD GET IT AWAY!!

3. OH GOD GET IT AWAY!!

[darkgalxia12]

15. God that laugh so creepy really sets the mood for this place.

14. Definitely my favourite part of Batman: Arkham Asylum and once again the music sets the mood perfectly for an enemy as disturbing as Scarecrow.

13. I never found this track all that scary more atmospheric and foreboding than anything else.

12. Okay i've never played this far into Rayman 2 but I think all I have to do is quote the AVGN. "What were they thinking?

11. What.The.Hell?

[edelethewolf]

that paper mario song is fuckin mortifying..not so much a kids game now

[todbot1]

Holy... At 00:55, what game is that clip from? I've been looking for that game for years.

[NarutoFanBoyie]

you forgot Lavender Town from Pokemon Blue. That shit killed MANY children.

[SamuraiKirby10]

i hate you forever for posting that number one song.... you fucking suck for all eternity D':

[SamuraiKirby10]

im never gonna get a good nights sleep after number one T^T

[MegaIdaniel]

the number one just.... is.... so freaking scary

[Joshmariobros]

I predict river twygus is in the top 3

[Joshmariobros]

I'm just so freaked out but I wanna watch this

[kiki902143]

-hears number one-

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

[Scuro1000]

I'm daring myself to watch this before going to sleep XD

[Luxen675]

wtf Im watching this before sleeping o.0?

[HotDamn70]

15) ok thats just creepy 14) nah, just a normal soundtrack 13) nope, dont find this scary :P 12) yeah, a little creepy 11) sonuds awesome, not really scary 10) scary 9) a bit scary 8) sounds more depressing than scary 7) not scary 6) wha? mario? what the hell?? 5) nope not scary 4) creeps me out every time 3) spooky as hell 2) not scary, played this when i was 9 and didnt even notice the soundtrack 1) what the fuck?? Composed by Satan??

[Chibiwaza]

y u no KABUUUM!?

[bretthicksomega]

wait? i thought shadowman was a horror game?

[TheLegendaryJames]

How did the song "Undead" from Conker not make it on here? Anyway agree with number 1! Creepy as fuck!

[dividebyzero100]

Probably the only Halloween intro that legitimately SCARED me.

[WolfCry1127]

Man am i glad to never have played shadow man! that would have given me nightmares if i played it when i was younger... the sounds are what make that song so very frighting...it gave me shivers hearing the drill part...

[JonXelos]

you ever hear that track from Minecraft? its on one of those records. i cant remember which one it was, but it sounded pretty scary, i think it was the broken one, try it out!

[daniel6497]

@JonXelos 11?

[jeerome0406]

Why wasnt MGS4 The Laughing Octopus's theme not in here? That freaked the hell out of me.

[Dartpaw86]

Seriously Ceremony from Secret of Mana wasn't on the list?

(Look it up on this site and tell me it isn't disturbing)

I complained once before so I apologize, if I don't like your lists (Which I do) I should just write my own...

[Draginvry2]

@Dartpaw86

I just checked the song, and you're right. I don't remember that song being that creepy, but when I listen to it outside of the context of the game it is much creepier than the stuff on this list.

Secret of Mana is such an awesome game.

[TheJazzer94]

@Dartpaw86 The situatuion where it plays is important too. Quoting peanut3423 " But why is it playing in a ruin rather than a circus? Honestly this makes this music not just creepy, but annoyingly non-fitting." I guess that can answer...

[Dartpaw86]

@TheJazzer94 The zombies in that area used to kind of creep me out as a very little kid, until I discovered that if you attack them they have a really surprised look faces as they put their hands over their crotches WTF?

That makes them look extremely goofy and really lightens the mood.

[Dartpaw86]

Seriously, who's idea was it to make Arkham as gloomy as possible? Really Warden Sharp? You couldn't put some curtains or something?

[Scruffy0105]

what game is number 9?

[luishomeroremohsiul]

speak...SPEAAAK D:

[passing2010]

Whoever thinks Majora is scary is kinda a wuss.

[dyldragon1]

#11 is waaaaaaaayyy more awesome than scary. It isn't even scary...

[TheUltimateZeal0t]

ending damn near gave me a heart attack

[hauntedtoilet]

I was sort of expecting to hear the shadow temple music from ocarina of time on this list, but I guess thats just my opinion.

[Shyuin1]

Number one was perfect. That shit is messed up

[ShreddingPixel]

I feel that the music for The Fire Temple from the original OOT would be the better pick for a Zelda track. The one with the religious chants and all that.

[littlezdawg2012]

Omfg Trail of Blood in FF7......scared the living hell out of me as a youngin'

[tannerrachel99]

He got me at the end... DANG YOU JOSH!

[DrDemonHarlequin]

I don't know...#1 isn't really that scary...I don't even think it's that creepy. If anything, it's just...weird. Chaotic, maybe. But not creepy.

[TheInferiorGuy]

OMG The Pyro!

[LANmaster7]

22:41 Are you TRYING to give mme a heart attack!?!?!?

[SuperGarfieldJordan1]

@HotDamn70 playrooms from shadowman

[SuperGarfieldJordan1]

@HotDamn70 p

[SuperGarfieldJordan1]

@HotDamn70 p

[SuperGarfieldJordan1]

@OmegaDragon365 so u like batman Arkham asylum than arkham city?

[SuperRetrodude]

Is it bad that I find myself humming along to #1?

[OmegaDragon365]

2:34 is my favorite out of them all.

[Spagettieater9000]

what is this newfangled invention called "sleep" anyways?

[Charmolution]

Majora's Mask ISN'T a horror game? Really?

[TheJazzer94]

@Charmolution Of course it isn't! Is just...weird...

[C4PT41NSL1NKY]

I heard number one and at first I was like "Ok, cool prank, you got us" then it kept playing and I said "What in the hell is this?"

[909thelegend909]

im suprised demons souls didnt make it in anywhere. especially the tower of latria. the bells in the track are the EXCACT same ones the enemies use to signal attacks. and in the second area? a giant heart sets the track for this area, its beating literally IS the music track.

[theknightofthepoop]

actually the NOT TAKE THAT MIRROR scream was kinda fun to me

[BobaFettJangoFett]

HAHA! I SKIPPED TO THE END!

[Borinquenrobin]

Lol the only scary song is number 1 .... AND I LOVE IT!!! so beutifull.

[Estaticspoon]

#1 A rubber duck getting drilled, In every way possible

[Scruffy0105]

19:22 i am so glad i didn't the 3rd movie

[huntmbrocks]

what game is nine from i can't read the blood that well

[huntmbrocks]

yea follow the trail of blood cloud that's the smartest thing to do

[Scuro1000]

CURSE YOU!

Sorry, I usually like ur vids, but I just HATE screamers. And no I didn't hear it, I just knew one was coming and muted the video. Can't bring myself to check it out :(

[HotDamn70]

Jesus, whats with #1??

[TheKiraDood5]

Nice job editing the intro with the Dead Space trailer music.

[stingchamaleon31]

i listen the giygas theme like a lullaby to sleep :D

[ThatFreakingFunnyGuy]

*opens the video knowing that lavander town is there*

*mutes*

[galleon360]

right before i hear the #1 scariest soundtrack: i dont even wanna listen! D:

at the beginning off it: what the hell is this?

after i hear the drills: holy crud...

after the song: i will never sleep aga- OH MY GOD!

[Miazix]

that song at the end reminds me of like some sort of hell nursery where the parents and children get operated on while the huge hell-hound plays with a giant squeak toy and instead of a surgeon its a dentist....no not the dentist...his assistant :/

[alkapwnz1]

often, when i talk about scarecrow from batman with my friends, they say,"omg, his power sucks". not really. scarecrows fear gas can inspire some pretty disturbing images, including talking corpses!...ugh... anyways, its because of this that scarecrow is one of my favorite villains.

[alkapwnz1]

...why can't i watch this vid all the way through!?!?!

[Darthzim950]

Y U PUT BLIZZETA IN ENDING?!?!

[TheJTreviewer]

@Darthzim950 Screamer clip?

[SNESguy1992]

On Ghostbusters on Xbox360 when you're at the children section of the library, the theme, is just...disturbing.

[IBurnCuteThings]

............ screw you for the ending. Heart skipped a beat

[elbryan42]

Pretty good picks, but there are some serious tracks you're missing. Big Bruty from Earthworm Jim Special Edition, Dark Carnival from Blood and Dark Citadel from Doom 64, for example.

[Raxoris]

Decided to rewatch this, and there is one track i'd definitely reccomend for this list, maybe as 16th or higher. Namely, World of Drawcia from Kirby Canvas curse. I think its just downright unnerving, and adding in the distorted paint world and the giggling paintings, its a perfect set up for the final battle with the haunting Drawcia. Anyone agree?

[lllshokoboylll]

search for: "obedece a la morsa" you wont ever sleep again

[turtlesoup34]

YOU MOTHER FUCKER PUTTING IN THAT FUCKING SCREAMER!!!!!

[zanic3000]

near end of video

mutes video

screamer aprearers

feels nice to know a screamers coming

[darkgalxia12]

@zanic3000 Thanks for the warning bro.

[HydreigonMaster]

...Majora happened...

[basszguy123]

Here is my suggestion.

"11" from MineCraft

You may be thinking "Ugh its minecraft there IS NO music."

Just watch/listen

/watch?v=SZ2YckuyQC8

[ArdentRage]

that tickled my left ear at the end. I giggled lol

[ClefairyRox]

Oh, geez, just go on and use Mephiles' theme between tracks, whydon'tcha? Mephiles is creepy enough, but his theme sends CHILLS down my spine, no matter how many times I hear it!

Ikana Canyon's music used to scare me so bad when I was younger.

The River Twygz and the Underwhere in general is so dark for a Mario game. Yoiks...

[LargeFG7777]

There is one thing I just do not understand....

Why are most of the SCARIEST music tracks in Video games so....short?

For Example Radio and Dementors: They are incredibly scary, but they only are under a minute long. My Theory is that the Composers crapped their pants of scare to complete these Soundtracks...

[StratNTac]

8. What is going on here?

7. Sounds like the Pyramid Head theme from Silent Hill.

6. Distortion always makes things sound way creepier.

5. That is pretty creepy.

4. I thought for sure this would be #1.

3. The whole vision thing is what truly makes this creepy.

2. A little surprised but Dementors are the embodiment of fear.

1. Anything associated with babies in a game, with scary themes is automatically disturbing. P.S you didn't get me at the end there. I knew what was coming. :D

[StratNTac]

15. Creepy

14. When the bodies started talking I nearly pissed myself.

13. That's very eerie with that trail of blood and no one knows what's going on.

12. Scary music but I agree, it's just Rayman.

11. Any game with the right atmosphere can make children sound disturbing. Other than that, I think it's actually a pretty epic song.

10. Ikana Canyon always freaked me out as a kid.

Both the music and themes creeped me out. Whole game is pretty disturbing IMO.

9. Whoa...game over?

[Cherryblossoms13100]

If you listen closely to number 6, you can hear giygas crying "MOMMY, PLEASE, MAKE IT STOP, IM SCARED,MAKEITSTOPMAKEITSTOPMAK­EITSTOPMAKEITSTOP!!!!" , just a little fact.

[Cherryblossoms13100]

You had Luigi's Mansion somewhere in this vid, there fore, I'm liking it, TROLL ME ALL YOU WANT, INTERNET!

[ObsidiusFan]

You both Josh and Peanut should listen to the 10th Dimension Lab theme from Crash Twinsanity Is just disturbing, yet so beautiful.

It does not deserve a spot in this list but maybe a Disturbing Video Game music video...:S

[infinitepower2001]

That thing at the end scared the crap out of me XD

[Darkmage1293]

A music review with Eversion, The Legend of Dragoon, and Earthbound.

....I would've thrown Giygas right at the top because....gawd damn if his music doesn't suit him to a T.

I do agree with your #1 though. There's horror, and you rightfully fear it. Its when you hear something that shouldn't be horrific...and it DOES horrify you that you go WTF proper.

[pizzaparty64]

I hate how creepy those Batman games are...

[NintendoRules97]

The transition music is Mephiles' Whisper, right?

[NintendoFan0505]

@NintendoRules97 Yep, it is.

[HerpDerp777]

@NintendoRules97 I HATE that song it freaking kept me up at night

[TheJTreviewer]

@NintendoRules97 Yes

[balrog0444]

And here I was hoping to see the Haunted House theme from Timesplitters 3. Oh well. It's not like any of these are any less scary. Exept #1. That wasn't scary, just... intensely disturbing.

[Mylittleponyisabrony]

during #1, i felt someone touch me, no one is here. I am not scared......yet

[fluffy14sweet]

and that was in a MARIO GAME!!!

[souledgekirby]

#3 Ah, quotation marks around the word song, fitting

[Donez35]

Nice intro. 15: Not that scary, but it's not like I could do better. 14: Shame I can't take Batman seriously. 13: Ugh. 12: I agree, the situation ruins it. 11: Nice. I like this music. 10: I'm pretty pissed I still don't have this game. 9: Yes. 8: Wow. I need this game. 7: Quite melancholy indeed. 6: No, I don't find this creepy at all. 5: Oh-ho! 4: Overusement has made this boring. 3: I suddenly feel rather suicidal. I hate my life. 2: GBA? Really? 1: Oh wow. I'm making this my ringtone.

[ParalimniVoice]

@Donez35 the majora's mask is for nintendo 64

[TheSnIpEr1781]

Giygas shouldve been number 1 he bassicly haunts me

[Scuro1000]

Oh GOD D:

Friendly advice: DON'T LISTEN TO GIYGAS'S THEME BEFORE GOING TO BED.

[TheJazzer94]

@Scuro1000 I did it. I had dreams after a long time of blank sleep nights. It was indeed a good dream (i'm not kidding, it's a true story)...

[Scuro1000]

@TheJazzer94 lol Now that you told me, I think I never will...I get really easy to scare at night. Believe it or not, I had a nightmare with Giratina in it after I explored the Distortion world in pokemon Platinum before I went to sleep XD

[poopoopoopoop333]

I can't read what game You Can't Escape is from... What game?

[HombreHonest]

@poopoopoopoop333 Eversion.

[JakeD4500]

RiSE aND ShINe mR. FReEMaN. RIsE ANd ShINe.

[DMSwordsmaster]

Feh. The Playrooms theme scared me more then the Blizzetta screamer. Better luck next time!

[adaam97]

good top,but why the helll a screamer in the end?

[MalfunctionsSuck]

I felt like I took a huge amount of drugs by #6. Oh, and your swimming in the tears of the tormented souls. Or something like that, I haven't played the game for about 2 years now...

[XxStayXPositive]

I don't find #8 to be all that scary, in fact, I think its kinda sad. For some reason, all I think of when I hear it is some person made a bad mistake in their life and he/she regrets it horribly.

ps. I don't know why, but I think #7 sounds very...cool. (I'm not sure what else to describe #7.)

[RavaViera]

@XxStayXPositive A mistake like...burning down a house?

[XxStayXPositive]

@RavaViera ...Maybe.

[Apinhaka]

in the number 1 music, i think the nurse drilled the child to death.

[Opexshadow73]

oh, screw u josh! i! HATE!!!!! BLIZZERTAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!­!!!! jk. still hate blizzertah though.

[masterofgames15000]

15: Weird... 14: O.o 13: again O.o 12: Even more O.o 12: Thats odd..just odd. 11:odd again, 10: Mummies! Mummies! 9: oh my god WTH! 8:O.O 7: wth? 6: and I thought mimi was disturbing. 5:first thought when I listend to this "WTH!" 4: Saw that coming, to be frank, not phased, only his origins phases me, not the music, his speech pattern, or the shape he is. 3: what the hell? 2:*Runs away* Dementors til this day, scare the hell out of me! 1: WTF! O.O *closes door and walks away in horror*

[GardevoirPwn17]

I find it odd that I don't notice anything disturbing about a song (in most cases) until I hear it in a sound test or youtube or something like that.

[sephiroth21347]

#7 was mysterious but god i love that underrated gem of an RPG

[silverthehedgehog21]

what the... at number 9 its... its DOCTOR OCTOGANAPUS BUAAAAAAH

[LargeFG7777]

Thisi is definately one of the most interesting Countdowns I have seen.

i am making my own Version of top 15 scariest music tracks

[PsiClausandHyrule]

um was majoras mask nessary?

[LargeFG7777]

15.*Insert funny laugh here* 14.SCARECROW FTW! 13.This sounds familiar to me... 12. *BOOM* my heart rushed! 11.Unstable kids... 10. But Twinmold was cool 9. Is this actually the "Ending"?! 8.This game has actually good music 7.I actually find it beautiful 6. ....sexy 5.I smell forced losses in there... 4. This became AVGM to me now... 3. My favorite Non-Boss Theme ever! 2. Strangers... 1. RUBBER DUCK ORGY SOUNDS HILARIOUS (Look I created a quote)

[RainbowDashPhD]

#1 I was like :D

Then I was like ._.?

Then I was Like D:

Then I was like x_x *Nightmares*

[TheDEXMAN4751]

is it just me or does scarecrow from batman: arkham asylum behave a bit like freddy krueger? (the syringes on his right hand sort of gave it away)

[DragonsDenHawk]

Oh, and don't forget that the Curse Zone theme plays when the Ark of Yamato emerges from the frozen lake. That suits the situation to a T.

[counting1210]

oh my god super paper mario was such a dark game, i bought it for my little brother, big mistake

[counting1210]

just my opinion but the whole giygas thing has been completely blown out of proportion but still a good list

[Aceofstars64]

@joshscorcher Eversion IS a horror game (at least according to Wikipedia) and has a song on the list, therefore, this list doesn't count. Not saying that it's a bad list though, because there's some really freaky shit in there.

[destroyer129steam]

15. Not all that scary 14. Only 14? This track is horrifying! 13. Twisted 12. ... 11. Just plain demented 10. That chanting is wierd... 9. O_O 8. Sounds rather tragic. 7. See 8. 6. Not scary, just screwed up. 5. Holy crap... 4. Insanity 3. Wierd, love the game though. 2. HOLY FRICK! 1. What the... frick...

[pjANDandrew]

Number 1: D: ......that.....was.....scary.

[TheOverlordJay2]

The last one was.......different.

[greenscorpion64]

I have never played Shadowman and now I can say I probably never will. I was losing my mind at #1...

[thedooplissgroup]

GASP HE DIDN'T USE THE KABOOM!!!!

[killerpenguin360]

majora's mask is now forever embedded into my head

[alotofstickfigures]

Just so everyone knows, the song at the beginning right before Josh talks...it's that Silent Hill 2 music. Betrayal.

[SilverStarlight21]

The fact that I played F.E.A.R. right before I watched this, I'm alone in the dark, and that I live in creeky apartments made this whole thing a whole lot scarier.

And number one.... oh God, I'm going to have nightmares. Good choice.

[GDGaming]

As soon as you got to that last one, I was like "OMG not THAT song!" And then I stopped the video.

Totally agree with the #1 choice.

[shadowsonic14]

#1 was scary as a mother-in-law with a chainsaw. good job.

[DeadlyDroid]

What game is #9? I can't read the spooky text that well.

[TheHD720]

Dear joshcorcher,have you ever heard of WHAT ONCE WAS LOST,the soundtrack from Halo CE.If you haven't,then you should.

[gamerdude730]

What? #1 isnt scary at all,it has nice peaceful music,with kids laughing in the background.And...drills...and crying...and the sounds of drills being pushed into bodies,and guts being torn out...OH MY GOD...

[Mylittleponyisabrony]

@gamerdude730 is #1 playrooms? or whatever it's called?

[ITriedIFailedAgain]

I probably shouldnt be watching this might make me paranoid again

meh :D

[TheJazzer94]

Agreed, specially with Number 1, even when shadowman is classified as a horror game. But there are two I don't consider scary, just about hope abscence: Cog of the Machine and Vinage Embryo. That last one reminds me from Spirit Temple in Ocarina of Time (not the tune, but the feeling it transmit)

[TheDestroyerComics]

SRY...had to split up the comment

5.h...he...help?

4.I knew he'd be on here, and you know what, i....feel.....happy....

3.in MY opinion ALOT of things in this game are scary.

2.i've been afraid of dementors for YEARS!!!

1.*listens to song* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG­GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *dies*
