Tension

A collection of more than 375 dark drones, textures, ambiences, pulses and stingers (24-bit/96 kHz WAV, 7.6 GB) by Charles Maynes and Jason Payne. Categories include ambient experimental, musical sound design, distortion and noise, vocal experiments and waterphone.

How to use it in horror

Layer a waterphone stinger over a held cluster chord for a scare that sounds acoustic rather than synthetic, or loop a distorted pulse under dialogue to raise unease.
