Damned

Composed by Sean Murray

Has minor key all the way through and is also a chromatic tune as it goes on, however it has a huge lack of percussion for the under heartbeat that is normal present. Has a semi freaky factor to it.

Samantha’s lullaby

Has I minor key to it as well as a percussive type to it to represent the heart beat but is calm. It does however, have a freaky tone to it as it has child’s laugh in it which makes it fairly scary.

 

 

Dead silence theme

Minor key, scary. This is an effective theme as it matches how scary thriller movies should be as it has a under beat that represents heartbeat as well as being in a minor key creating that scare factor.
