Nice, well-done. Some amplifying and some echo will spice up the picture.

But what to do if you´re making horror scene like captured at soudless surveillance cam record :-)

[golfthewlis]

@hellhase good question! Sometimes amplified camera whirr can be the scariest sound of all!

[saturh]

it sounds like he is going on cornflakes hehe rest was OK

[golfthewlis]

Strangely enough that was one of the only genuine sounds recorded down in that cellar. It's a bit gravelly on the floor and amplified it sounds super crunchy

[VampireAlexaBones]

yeah some of the sound effects and way to loud.

The walking sounds fake

[Navisis]

He must have been shocked to find his pot roast down in the cellar. Damm the wife for trying to get back at him!

what i like to do for creaky foot steps, is take a 2 by 4, and nail it with 2 nails to 2 other pieces of wood at each end, so that it is held above the ground by the other wood pieces, kinda like you were making a rope bridge, sorta. Then what i do is soak it in water for a few hours and then let it dry in the sun all day, then when you step on it, (be careful not to fall for it will be very flimsy) it makes a nice long load creak.

At 0:30 or so, the door should of slammed shut.

[WatchingFreaky]

so and what is in the box????

[D3w10n]

Man that door opening sounds exactly like my farts O.o

[FFFRINGE]

Some good thing to keep in mind for video editing.

Thanks for the ideas!

[HumbledGod]

his foot steps sound like potato bags shoes! xD

[cheezkid]

sorry but that was lame, it was just you walking through a basement with footstep sounds

[TzarNicholas2]

lol when he goes down the stairs it sounds like someone is chewing on crisps (potatoe chips)

[Herrorara1250]

Nice job!

Sometimes less is more, as said A. Hitchcock when was asked why refused the music for "Birds". I am thinking about that while in a cinema watching something new I am unable follow the picture because of confusing electronic storm from repros:-)

And that with box is nice too. In Germany they called this "Goebbels" and in former socialistic countries "Lenin" :-) Please, what idiom is used for horror box scene in America? By M.Groening "Nixon" but he´s joking
