Crafting the Sonic Identity for Samhain School of Horror
Samhain School of Horror is your one-stop shop for everything spine-chilling and pulse-pounding in the horror and thriller genres. With a plethora of content—from movie reviews to screenwriting tips—the channel offers something for every kind of horror aficionado. But what sets the tone right from the start? The intro soundtrack.
I had the honor of creating the intro soundtrack for Samhain School of Horror’s YouTube channel. This was more than just a quick jingle; it was an homage to the legacy of horror cinema. Taking inspiration from the atmospheric, synth-heavy work of John Carpenter, the soundtrack aims to encapsulate the essence of what makes horror so viscerally compelling.
The mission was clear: craft a soundtrack that stands as a tribute to the classics while ushering viewers into the modern world of horror. Every synth chord and eerie melody was carefully chosen to bring the channel’s audience instantaneously into the realm of the macabre.
When you tune in to a video from Samhain School of Horror, listen for that haunting melody—it’s the key that unlocks a treasure trove of horror knowledge, and it’s got my signature all over it.
