A classic synth horror theme inspired by John Carpenter
I watched one of the Halloween movies recently and just couldn’t get over how iconic that theme song by John Carpenter is. It’s incredible how simple, catchy and perfect it is for that movie. In the spirit of that, I wanted to pay homage to John Carpenter by recording this music kits that was inspired by him. The synth is classic 80s, there’s lots of unsettling, eery space and you’ll be humming the melody for the next few hours. If you have a horror-themed podcast or short film – give this music kit a try as your theme song. This music kit includes the following:
- A main ‘theme song’
- An alternate version of the main theme with a shortened intro
- A loopable ‘background ambience’ that you could underlay beneath your entire projet to give it a cohesive soundscape
- Two other loopable clips of various instruments
- Two super useful short ‘stingers’ for transitioning between ‘segments’ or ‘scenes’
This download includes seven individual WAV files.

What if I really like this song, but there's something I want changed about it?
Once in a while, I do get requests about needing to re-edit the length of songs to fit certain runtimes, or removing a specific instrument from the mix, etc. I try really hard to accomodate these, but unfortunately, I can't make any promises here. I have a limited schedule I'm able to dedicate to this project, so I can only do so much.
With that said, drop me a line with your request. I'll absolutely do what I can to help out if time allows! Higher tiered Patrons do get preference with these requests as a perk to their membership.
