Topic: Scare Chords

I find myself again in the position of needing a very popular sound (or type of sound), and not being able to find it on the internet. What I need this time is a scare chord; usually a short note played with strings that usually accompanies some scary thing popping out at the main character, or the camera, that makes you jump, loose all your popcorn, and maybe even the contents of your bladder. So if someone could send me a couple of those, that would be great. Thanks.

I think he means the score that accompanied the shower scene in Psycho. Unfortunately, I can't find the scene on Youtube. I think I can come up with the music though. I'll PM you if I do.

Re: Scare Chords

Too long. I need something that lasts no longer than a second. Look here for examples.

Could this work? For some reason it sounds different than I thought it did.

Re: Scare Chords

No, that won't work either. Just one short, sharp note is all I need. I have been thinking of buying some songs from the Psycho soundtrack, though.

Re: Scare Chords

An example would be awesome.

And perhaps this?

Re: Scare Chords

That's a lot closer, ManVan, but not quite what I was looking for. Unfortunately, I am very picky.

EDIT: Okay, I found one I think will work; here. It's Violin Screech Alarm 2.
