For Halloween this year, I have rescored and uploaded three short fictitious trailers created by The Cue Tube.
Sleep When You’re Dead trailer provided by The Cue Tube and Dominic Francis – a fantastic resource for composers to practice scoring scenes, short films, and trailers.
Zombies, dark woods, a creepy visitor while someone sleeps, and a scream in the night. Perfect for some heavily distorted drums, synths, gothic soprano choirs, and a screechingly unsettling violin!

Horror Trailer provided by The Cue Tube.
Flickering lights, dark corridors, a slow creepy gothic mistress of the night, creepy dolls, a zombie, and a menacing masked aggressor in the streets at night. Composed to create unease, with added screams, distorted vocals, drums, and a wholely unsettling amount of tension culminating in a terrifyingly dark, ending.

Hunting My Nightmares trailer provided by The Cue Tube
A dark trailer where our heroine is followed in the underground at night by a stalker. Will she escape, does she get away? I created a more electronic-based score for this. Using lots of electronic percussive sounds, slammed piano bass, emotive synthesizer sounds, and a hypnotically distant piano melody.
