Today is Friday the 13th. I’m going to a horror movie themed party tonight and I’m feeling awfully curious about the playlist. Are they going to play scary music? What is scary music? Is it loud and harsh? Quiet and threatening? Does it talk about being scared? Or does it make you feel scared?
I haven’t fully uncovered the answer yet, but I made a thirteen song playlist of tracks that I believe capture a little bit of every form of fear in music. Check it out below:
- “Full Moon (Death Classic)” by Death Grips
- “Pretty On The Inside” by Hole
- “Don’t Play It” by Kim Gordon
- “Kurt Ambiance” by Kurt Cobain
- “V. Universe” by The Microphones
- “Inanimate Sensation” by Death Grips
- “Buddy Lent Me the Pen Again V006 (218.814 BPM)” by Vegyn
- “Tonight You Belong To Me” by Patience and Prudence
- “Do You Be” by Meredith Monk
- “Where the Fuck Is My Ambulance” by Girl Pusher
- “Brick” by Alex G
- “Tourette’s” by Nirvana
- “Scared” by ARTHUR
