CREEPY GAME MUSIC LIST!
Jan. 19th, 2011 02:37 pmI just thought it might be fun I guess? ANY AND ALL SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME! So throw them at me if you have any.
-Lavender Town from Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow.
Ah, the track that spawned a million creepypasta, Lavender Town's theme has become a bit of a legend. The track has serveral myths regarding a earlier version of the track that either drove people mad, afflicted them with terrible seisures, killed them, or all of the above. I think what makes the track so unnerving is how simple it is. It's so jarringly dissimilar from any other music in the game, and for good reason given Lavender Town's disquieting backstory. Of course Lavender Town LOOKS perfectly normal on the surface, which makes the music all the more creepy.
-Ceremony~ South Ruins Theme from Secret of Mana.
Again, it's often the most simple sounding songs that are most effective at being creepy. I just recently played Secret of Mana for the first time, and upon reaching the South Ruins I found myself feeling slightly unnerved for the first time in a long while.
-Cosmos of Fear (Planetarium) and Hey, Lugol! (Organ Grinder) from Touch Detective.
Alright this entire game pretty much freaked me the fuck out. Particularly the trippy dream case and the planetarium case. ESPECIALLY the planetarium case, which features both of these tracks. The creepy dead eyed characters didn't help the matter. But yeah, you can sort of see a theme going here with really simple sounds.
-Giygas Battle from Earthbound.
Another kind of obligatory mention. Giygas is kind of famous for being one of the most disturbing/creepy final bosses of all time so of course his theme goes along with that. And yes, this is FINAL BOSS music. Doesn't sound much like other final boss music, does it?
-Karez from Tales of Rebirth.
Now, I love this track, so I've listened to it quite a bit, but I'm STILL not sure whether I find it creepy or calming. It's sort of both, somehow.
-Geisha Spider's Extermination from Okami.
Maybe it's just me being terrified of this boss because she was HUGE and also a fucking spider. But just the part where it's just that weird sound like a high pitched wind/the sound the geisha spider makes just. Yeah.
-The Lunarians from Final Fantasy IV.
Alright, maybe this isn't particularly creepy in and of itself, but I swear to god the first time I heard it (which was in that tunnel place you have to go through on the moon) those first few seconds just made me so nervous and anxious to get out as soon as possible. SO YEAH, it was creepy to me. The moon was really scary to me at first, it was just so EMPTY.
-Another Moon from Final Fantasy IV.
Yeah actually now that I think of it, the main map music for the moon didn't help either. It did a wonderful job of embodying how disquieting it is to be on the barren expanse that is the moon.
-Something Burns Inside the Heart from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles.
I never got this far in the game (I don't own it, so I only ever played co-op with my friend and I held us back by dying a lot) but the music from Mount Kilanda sounds pretty freaking creepy to me. I mean hell even that name is rather ominous.
-Nightmare Reflected in the Mirror from Tales of Vesperia.
Oh godd the ghost ship creeped me out the second time I played through it just as much as the first. The quirk of the monsters being invisible except for in the copious amounts of mirrors kept me constantly on edge. And then when you have THIS playing in the background... yeah.
-Cave from Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. (Suggested by Peace)
Oh my god I've never played this game but this creeps me out. IT SEEMS VERY APPROPRIATE FOR A DARK DANK CAVE or something.
-Clock Town- Third Day from Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. (Suggested by Peace)
Ok yeah that weird bass in the back is really jarring with the upbeat melody.
-Haunted House from Super Mario 64. (Suggested by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kazzisato)
-Shadow Temple and Fire Temple from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. (Suggested by Peace)
"first time i peeked into the shadow temple in the graveyeard, never went there again
.. actually, a lot of the temple music is questionably creepy when you really listen to it"
-Forest Temple from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. (Suggested by Peace)
"this is... really bad when you're just walking around because if i'm not mistaken there's a room with wall masters and stuff in here just TOSSING stuff at you namely the floor. so I guess that's floor masters, actually."
-Blizzeta from LoZ: Twilight Princess. (Suggested by Peace)
APPARENTLY PEACE FINDS LOZ MUSIC FRIGHTENING!
-Arbiters Ground from LoZ: Twilight Princess. (Suggested by Peace)
"I had a hard time getting through that temple too THE LEVEL OF SCARINESS IN TWILIGHT PRINCESS idk how i got through the game, being how i am with scary things in games"
-The Dark Interlopers from LoZ: Twilight Princess. (Suggested by Peace)
