A sense of darkness has fallen across this installment of SampleRadar, which is inspired by the sound of horror film soundtracks (the '80s, John Carpenter type in particular).

So, you can expect hoppy electro pulse loops, tense synth basslines, clashing pianos, low staccato strings and some chilling chimes.

The horrorscape samples are divided into four folders that are labelled according to their tempo.

All the samples are supplied as WAV files so can be imported directly into your DAW or sampler of choice. Because they're royalty-free, you're welcome to use the samples in your music in any way you like - all we ask is that you don't re-distribute them.
