Horror/Action Songs For Indie Films

[FrightClub]

Hey Guys,

This isn't exactly a "noob" question but...

I'd like to see if anyone has good suggestions for songs that would fit into either a Horror or Action-like movie.

(Watch the Sin City trailer for an example of what I mean.)

Thanks!

Sometimes, a horror film will use music that is very different from what is happening in the scene. Like when they use a child's song when something terrible is going on.

Then there is always using classical music, I don't remember which horror film used Mahler, but it was quite creepy music...

If you're currently working on a project and need original compositions for this genre, let me know.

Not sure if any of you have checked it out but Sony makes a program now called Cinescore that's a very intuitive soundtrack creation program. I plan on using it to make some soundtrack material, but mostly to show a musician what I need.

This might sound cheap, but i've found that Garage band is awesome for making random horror music.
(maybe i'm just the bad at making music! haha)

place an ad on versusmedia dot com, that's what I did and it worked great. I got all kind of submissions, some that fit what I was looking for and some that didn't. Good luck!
