This ambient track is almost relaxing if you’re not fully paying attention, but composer Daniel Olsén manages to create enough suspense to keep you from dropping your guard altogether. “Änglamakerskan” by Daniel Olsén – Year Walk (2013) Flavours: Haunting, eerie, unsettling The piece aptly prepares you for your topsy-turvy journey through the game, laying the atmosphere on thick. The player hears the choral chanting and crashing cymbals of Metamorphosis I during the opening scene of the seminal Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, which plays as you approach the dread castle for the very first time. It’d be hard to compile a video game Halloween listicle without including something from the Castlevania series. “Metamorphosis I” by Michiru Yamane – Castlevania Symphony of the Night (1997) Flavours: Gothic, anxious, foreboding With Halloween around the corner, it seems like a perfect time to pick a suitably varied list of spooky video game pieces - some from the obvious horror series, and some from less obvious soundtracks that will nonetheless leave you feeling like Luigi alone in his mansion (on low health)… There are all sorts of different scares when it comes to popular entertainment: some like it ghostly and slow some prefer oodles of gore and some are suckers for a tense thriller.
How about the thought of long, slimy black hair seeping slowly out of an old well in a dark forest, preceding the chalk-white corpse of a malevolent ghost child as it creeps jerkily towards you?
