Sound in the American Horror Film
The crack of thunder, a blood-curdling scream, creaking doors, or maybe complete silence. Sounds such as these have helped frighten and startle horror movie audiences for close to a century. Listen to a Universal classic like Dracula or Frankenstein and you will hear a very different soundtrack from contemporary horror films. So how did we get from there to here? What scared audiences then compared to now? This examination of the horror film's soundtrack builds on film sound and genre scholarship to demonstrate how horror, perhaps more than any other genre, utilizes sound to manipulate audience response. Beginning with the Universal pictures of the early 1930s and moving through the next nine decades, it explores connections and contrasts throughout the genre's technical and creative evolution. New enthusiasts or veteran fans of such varied films as The Mummy, Cat People, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Psycho, Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream, The Conjuring, Paranormal Activity, and A Quiet Place will find plenty to explore, and perhaps a new sonic appreciation, within these pages.

The signs that It was returning existed for decades. The fatal attack of a pregnant black woman; the husband and wife trapped in a cave after a freakish accident; the disappearance of a young boy after the brutal murder of his parents; the rumors of missing transients who entered the valley; the outbreaks of mutilated cattle; the terror that hunting dogs and all domestic animals exhibited when they drew near to the place. There were signs. But only a few took them seriously. There was an old Lenni Lenape legend of a Beast that dreamed an army of monsters and brought them into existence, but was anyone supposed to believe that? It was 1969. No one took ancient myths seriously. No one believed in that stuff anymore - or, at least, no one with any sense would admit that they believed it. The people of Sussex County, New Jersey lived in a sparsely populated area occupied by dairy farmers and horse breeders. But they weren't uneducated and they weren't fools. They were intelligent, hard-working people. And then It was there. And the killing began.
