Walkthrough: Nightmare Violin · SOUNDIRON (official)

A solo violin library of extended techniques recorded dry: pizzicato swarms, ponticello sustains, ricochets and tremolos, plus 40 pads and drones and 20 FX presets. It includes 21 Kontakt presets (full Kontakt 6.2.2 or later), 12 Decent Sampler presets and the unlocked WAV files, 8.07 GB installed.

How to use it in horror

Use the ponticello sustains and pizzicato swarms to build a skittering, unsettled string layer under a stalking scene, then hit a violent tremolo for a scare.
