when this music kicks in you know
terrifying things are waiting around the
next corner
[Music]
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
scariest songs in videogames for this
list we’ll be looking at music and video
games that scared the crap out of
players setting the mood for whatever
nightmare fuel the game had in store
[Music]
number ten taxidermy killer7 looks like
this is your end yes
considering that you take control of
seven elite assassin throughout the
course of this game there’s not much
that can be thrown at you that you can’t
overcome with well-timed bullets however
that doesn’t make this little number any
less creepy playing like the perversion
of a lullaby this brief song worms its
way into your ears
after the certified badass Dan Smith
puts down his old mentor Kurtis
Blackburn yes it’s time to close the
cartons trying to die in style give me a
break you sick old man taking down the
man who killed you might seem satisfying
but with this track companying it it
certainly adds a new layer of Jill’s
number-9 lament siren blood curse
[Applause]
ironically known as siren new
translation in Japan this title brought
with it a song that more lived up to its
namesake much like the siren of legend
the track is deceptive in nature
beginning with around her beautiful
melody as a female vocalist and some
potent notes those outside it the honey
could you communicate its entrancing and
very pleasant to listen to you at first
as the song progresses the atmosphere
takes a more sinister twist and the
vocals begin to turn into unpleasant
cries by the time it ends you’re
probably more than a little unnerved of
what might be waiting for you as you go
on a break the first chapter on the
ground Drakengard
[Music]
if there was ever a song that perfectly
encapsulated the chaos and fear that
came from an invasion it would be this
one starting the game off on a high the
fierce might of the Empire brings the
full force of its army down on the
stronghold of the Union
[Music]
taking control of protagonist came the
players have to race across the
battlefield and slice apart the enemy
commanders all while the unending rapid
pace of the background track keeps the
adrenaline flowing bringing feelings of
desperation and a sense of urgency to
the service even as you cut your way
through the oncoming hordes with this
song playing you can’t help but feeling
like it’s all for naught
[Music]
number seven lavender town pokémon red
and blue we’re not sure why a game
filled to the brim with lovable
creatures and an endearing tale of
adventure and companionship we feature
an eerie song like this but it certainly
did its job
you
after setting foot in the titular
lavender town trainers everywhere were
not only left with a song that
drastically brought down the atmosphere
to a more somber tone but also got to
listen to it while exploring a tower
that houses the graves of deceased
Pokemon
[Music]
the worst part this song spawned a
creepypasta that told of how children
who listen to the song too much would go
crazy and be driven to suicide
[Music]
[Applause]
number six dungeon Diablo
you didn’t think your quest to destroy
the ultimate evil wouldn’t include
descending into various caves and
catacombs filled with unholy monsters
did ya well it does and what makes it
even worse is that this song comes with
it as you make your way through the
Cathedral this track doesn’t only
enhance the Menace of the creatures you
encounter but reflects the threat of
Diablo himself almost like his
corruption can be heard with each bellow
of the songs haunting choir like the
warrior says the sanctity of this place
has truly been fouled
[Music]
number five final boss Sonic CD US
version do you like your egg man to come
with a soundtrack that you’ll be hearing
in your nightmares afterwards well piece
your ears on this one you know the drill
Robotnik causes a whole lot of trouble
and our favorite blue blur intervenes
however gamers in the u.s. got something
a little extra as their version came
with the track that makes it feel like
you’re running into a tramp and that the
mad scientist is actually someone to be
feared and is someone who will take
great pleasure in watching you die throw
in the fact that his laugh echoes across
the song and all of a sudden Sonic’s
oldest foe is painted in a much more
sinister light number four final hours
The Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask is it
any surprise that the darkest entry in
The Adventures of link features music
that excels at capturing a sense of
hopelessness despite being able to
rewind time before the moon crashes into
termina below the track that plays as
oblivion approaches is still a haunting
one accompanied by the sound of bells
the overwhelming feeling of impending
doom is masterfully portrayed
heightening the resolve of players all
the more to catch that damned Skull Kid
before everything is destroyed if mortal
frailty ever had a tune it would
probably beat this
[Music]
number three which left for dead
[Music]
she’s not cackling and she’s not
standing over a bubbling cauldron but
the dread that you feel when
encountering this particular zombie is
made infinitely worse when the song
suddenly explodes out of nowhere and
signals her frenzied approach
the nonsensical vocals and accelerated
tempo not only managed to invoke fear
from the players but they also portrayed
the insanity that defines the witches
character even with four heavily armed
individuals surrounding her the witch is
still a lethal force that can catch you
off-guard with this track driving the
point home that you should heed the
warning of not startling her number two
gigas earthbound it might seem like
quite the challenge to create a track
for a formless amalgamation of hatred
and madness but they succeeded and the
result will chill your blood as gigas
constantly shifts in appearance were
beaded to the sound of wind blowing
faint traces of otherworldly mutters all
before escalating to the point where
white noise and other uncomfortable
sounds are thrown in
much like I guess itself song manages to
get under your skin in a way that few
others can
no wonder the only way to defeat it is
to pray because silently wishing for
this track to end is all you’ll be able
to do in the face of this monstrosity
[Music]
before we reveal our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
[Music]
number one River twigs bed Super Paper
Mario
how could anything involving videogames
his favorite plumber have anything
remotely scary in it
well we refer you to River twigs and all
the horrors within said to be filled
with the tears of sinners and inhabited
by eerie creatures known as under hands
the river that runs through the am
underwear is not a pleasant place to
visit and then there’s the music with
the disturbing score accompanied by
distorted voices not to mention the
feeling of foreboding as Mario swims
deeper and deeper into its depths it’s
truly a song that cannot be unheard and
will stock the shadows of your mind
after only a single listen thanks a lot
Mario do you agree with our list what do
you think is the scariest song in a
video game with new top 10s published
