Scare Chord	comment	An eerie shadow moves across the hallway behind a character, or maybe the Not Quite Dead villain's eyes suddenly snap open. Whatever the case, it's a quiet event that's supposed to be shocking, but if the visual cue doesn't spook the audience, then the obligatory Scare Chord will do the trick. A cousin to the Sting, the Scare Chord is a sudden, sharp sforzando of dissonance or sheer noise intended to make viewers jump clean out of their seats. The thing that separates it from a Cat Scare is that it's non-diegetic: nothing on-screen causes the noise; instead, it's added to the soundtrack as a way of eliciting a jolt in the audience, often preceded by a deliberate lull in both narrative and musical action. (Music Theory nerdiness: the chord traditionally used in such a case, namely the diminished seventh, is inherently tense since it demands resolution to a more stable harmony yet implies more than one such potential resolution. When transposed in sequence, the chord is frequently added to old-timey Damsel in Distress scenes, now the subject of parody.) Perhaps the most common addition to a Jump Scare, even more than a loud scream these days. Often part of the Screamer Trailer. Compare "Psycho" Strings and Drone of Dread. Compare and contrast with Last Note Nightmare.

When we first see Simon Petrikov, the music is soft, but it's obvious there's tension brewing. When he opens the cabinet to reveal the the Ice King's crown, there's a quick crescendo on a rather unsettling chord, and it quickly dies down, as Simon narrates his tale.

It's VERY loud and jarring, the rest of the film is relatively quiet, and to top it all off, it's used in one of the most mundane Jump Scare moments ever: a guy walks in front of Fuchs. Frightening.

Scare Chord / int_223c2a48	comment	Breath of the Wild The Blood Moon has a horrible leitmotif of a reverse sound and deep piano notes before the Blood Moon itself rises over the sky painting even the clouds in crimson and reviving the monsters you killed. The first thing you hear when you enter Vah Naboris is a heavy and loud piano chord. It proved to be a Jump Scare for a lot of players. The intro to the Guardians' Leitmotif, which plays when one is activated, starts with a loud, distinctive "BONG!" sound, often inducing terror if the player doesn't have a lot hearts and/or hasn't mastered the combat system, since the Guardians are Bosses in Mook Clothing that can One-Hit Kill Link early enough in the game.

Scare Chord / int_28b53408	comment	F.E.A.R. makes heavy use of the Scare Chord in conjunction with sudden appearances by Alma or Replica attacks. Or sometimes just for false scares. It's also used - in slightly less dramatic fashion - to alert the player to a crisp packet on the floor, letting them know that Norton Mapes is still alive. On levels with automated gun turrets, a certain scare chord plays when a turret activates. Assassin encounters are also usually signaled by scare chords. Players of the series have also noticed the major flaw in a Scare Chord. In the first (and scariest) game, the chord was a subtle, creepy little ringing sound. Later games had much sharper, louder scare chords... which often did more to ruin the suspenseful atmosphere than make anything scary. Rattling objects. In the first game, they can be ignored safely, because it's possibly a malfunction of the collisions engine, and it's only things like soda cans, chemical flasks, and other small gadgets. Doesn't detract any from the scary factor, especially if you remember the common aspect of ghost stories that they lightly disturb objects with their presence alone. And then you go through the Vivendi sequels... Where the rattlers are much larger objects, and it often means a pack of the mostly invisible Shades is out to get you. Don't be surprised if you shoot a steel drum you're walking on top of just because it scraped on the floor, especially after the nuclear explosion in Perseus Mandate. It doesn't help that near the end of Perseus Mandate, you have to go through an area where all the automatic doors produce a sound similar to the cackle/laugh that was the only hint those near invisible shades gave you before attacking.

This sequence was repeated at the beginning of the second episode, where the sound cue in the script read "DRAMATIC CHORD (SHRUBBERY)." The actual chord used in the recording of the first episode is a snippet of Ligeti's Volumina, an organ piece which amounts to a lengthy discordant scare chord.

It's actually the Hunter bellowing a war-cry of sorts, but it's to the same effect. To make things worse, it then guts the Love Interest in front of you and buries you under rubble. Hunters = best enemy ever. In Episode One, in the first of the tunnel sections with several Zombines with them, a loud, grating chord is played which sounds just like distorted Combine "death beeps"... it's actually a context-activated piece of music, like all the others in Half-Life 2, but just as effective. In the original Half-Life 2, after the beach section of Sandtraps, there's a nice Scare Chord when the Antlion Guard rises from the sand right in your face. Exact same thing happens when you down the hunter chopper at the end of Water Hazard.

The squelching noise of Spiderbugs emerging from their nests, followed by their clicking mandibles when they move in to attack. Amphibian Shrimps only let out their sharp, hissing roar just before they swing their claws to attack. Since they generally just wander around and don't always notice Artyom, it's particularly disconcerting. They are perfectly capable of walking past without attacking... only roaring once they're in attack animation.

Sometimes in the latter, scary stings are randomly heard out in the wasteland for no particular reason. The latter game also has a short sound clip that ED-E plays whenever he discovers an enemy while he's your companion that serves the same purpose. Combined with the massive boost to Perception he gives you, and you will never be surprised by an enemy again - just mildly annoyed. Fallout 4 has one as part of a jump scare in the parking garage maze near Fallon's Department Store, where you round a corner to find two decapitated corpses, one hung from a meat hook, the other positioned upright, and two heads impaled on stakes.

Scare Chord / int_6f76d71a	comment	The Sims has a Scare Chord whenever something bad shows up, usually a robber but also for things like a raccoon showing up. Even worse is when the sound appears to play for no apparent reason. No raccoon, no burglar, nothing. You frantically pan around a darkened house where everyone is asleep, and nothing is out of place. Much worse. That's usually because your fish are dead. Still... Or a burglar/raccoon/etc. walks onto your lot and leaves in less than a second. Or you find a bear tiptoeing in to steal your honey. There's another one that plays in The Sims 2 when your sim turns into a plantsim. The Sims 4 did away with burglars and the associated chord because they acted as Paranoia Fuel that made it difficult for some to relax and enjoy the game. However, for those not bothered by jumpscares there are Game Mods to bring them back.

Though instead of the standard blaring piano keys, she gets a distinct bell-like sound that is a lot quieter and means she's up to something sneaky. It seems like a modified gamelan...which would sound pretty weird to western ears. But even if you're used to the noise, this one is a little off. Pretty much any music during her Villainous Breakdown, and the noises she makes when she finally breaks down and cries. The music playing when Ozai fought is basically one long series of Scare Chords.

Dick Walter composed a 6-second-long, three-note jingle for The Ren & Stimpy Show and it's been used EVERYWHERE. It's this one, right here. Ren & Stimpy owed most of its horrific atmosphere to this trope. This saw theme is a good example. Practically every episode has some of this, particularly whenever Ren went Ax-Crazy, which was often. Another scare chord plays after something comes out of Stimpy's BUTT, makes a sound... and smells funny!

Similarly, there's the Killer Croc encounter in Batman: Arkham Asylum.

Scare Chord / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess Whenever Zant appears, a Scare Chord that sounds a bit like an unearthly scream plays. The ReDead are also infamous for this. You're wandering around in a dark temple, or below a scary well or tomb, minding your own innocent business...then suddenly, a terrifying mutilated scream sounds and before you can even spin around to see the source, BOOM, you're frozen in the paralyzing fear as the ReDead shambles toward you... In The Wind Waker, a scare chord plays when Ganondorf shouts, "Your gods destroyed you!" just before the Puppet Ganon battle, accompanied by a controller rumble. A different scare chord plays during the Forsaken Fortress stealth sequence towards the beginning, each time you're spotted by one of the Moblin guards. Breath of the Wild The Blood Moon has a horrible leitmotif of a reverse sound and deep piano notes before the Blood Moon itself rises over the sky painting even the clouds in crimson and reviving the monsters you killed. The first thing you hear when you enter Vah Naboris is a heavy and loud piano chord. It proved to be a Jump Scare for a lot of players. The intro to the Guardians' Leitmotif, which plays when one is activated, starts with a loud, distinctive "BONG!" sound, often inducing terror if the player doesn't have a lot hearts and/or hasn't mastered the combat system, since the Guardians are Bosses in Mook Clothing that can One-Hit Kill Link early enough in the game.

Two more scare chord and "Psycho" Strings based pieces, also associated with terror or the Flood, are "Shadows" (prominently heard at the beginning of CE's "Two Betrayals" when Cortana tells the Chief about what Halo really does) and Halo 2's "Ancient Machine". Then there's that sound that sounds like a rusty metal trapdoor that appears in several soundtrack pieces, eg Halo 2's "Shudder" and Halo 3's "Guilt and Punishment". During the cutscene right before encountering the Flood in Combat Evolved, a scare chord is played when MC opens the door and a Peek-a-Boo Corpse falls out. It is heard on the OST in "Lament for Pvt. Jenkins". The same chord plays if Capt. Keyes is killed during his Escort Mission. After an ominous choral and "Psycho" Strings build-up, a scare chord plays when the Arbiter kills Truth in Halo 3.

Scare Chord / int_76376304	comment	Every enemy in Metro 2033 has a distinctive audio cue, each of which is heard before an encounter. Lurkers make a very high-pitched which can often be heard near pipes. Only around 50% of the time, will one actually turn up. Another sound: the wet, squelching sound you can hear where one is nearby... and feasting on a corpse. Nosalises growl like dogs, and roar like lions. Like the lurker, sometimes done simply to spook you, at other times it's done to herald an impending attack. Watchers make a wolf-like howl. Hearing one is always the precursor to an enormous horde of them turning up. Librarians make a low-pitched growl. Along with Nosalises, they have a disturbing roar, but even more unsettling is their low, heavy breathing, which can be heard all around the Library. Giant Amoebas make a plopping sound, which is not scary except for the fact it signifies a Giant Amoeba is nearby... The Dark Ones have hissing, rattling voices. The flapping of wings and shuddering roars of an incoming Demon.

Scare Chord / int_85dfff38	comment	Ludwig van Beethoven exploited these on occasion: In the Piano Sonata in F minor Op. 57 "Appassionata", the final repetition of the theme of the slow movement variations ends with a Deceptive Cadence on a diminished seventh chord which is then repeated fortissimo to begin the allegro finale. The fourth movement of the Symphony no. 8 in F major Op. 93 begins very quickly but also very quietly... until the sudden fortissimo D-flat in the eighteenth bar. The coda emphasizes this jarring D-flat, making it enharmonically C-sharp, to transpose the main theme into F-sharp minor for a few bars before suddenly modulating back to the original F major.

Scare Chord / int_a88418fd	comment	The shrill, piercing factory whistle in Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is first used to make the audience jump and shut up in time for the opening number. Every subsequent use of the thing gets more and more hardcore - Sweeney's first kill, for instance - until the final use of the factory whistle coincides with Toby killing the main character in the world's creepiest Freak Out. Yeah, you're still going to jump when you hear it on the soundtrack later. Stephen Sondheim was conscious of this trope and wrote what amounted to miniature scare chords into the Overture and main theme of the score. They were tiny crescendos every two measures. The audience automatically expected something to happen during these crescendos and the fact that nothing happened added to the suspense already present.

Scare Chord / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The classic series made use of electronic music more prominently than the revived series, resulting in many Hell Is That Noise moments. One of the most famous times this happened is right there in the very second story, which introduces the Daleks (as if that won't be obvious enough). The reveal of the Doctor's new nemeses is accompanied by sliding, metallic walls of sound, and a high-pitched electronic screech. Another well-known one recurred several times throughout "The Sea Devils", whose soundtrack was performed on a modular synth. A jarring, grinding, beeping sound is the first cue on this story's soundtrack. Have a listen to see if you can describe it any better. "Blink" has this: "You're not looking at the statue", then they turn around and see a Weeping Angel and a scare chord plays. (Video â€” watch the part at the very end)

Scare Chord / int_ced00507	comment	Pathologic: You wouldn't think that an infant would ever be able to utter one of these, but this game accomplishes it. The game is game already known for being one of the most horrific experiences ever created (by the few who have heard of it) and it has this gem: if you kill an innocent person, you get treated to the disturbing sound of a baby crying. The fact that this means your Karma Meter just took a hit (in a game where keeping it high is problematic and very, very important) doesn't help matters. The sound that plays if you kill an evil person (a boy laughing maniacally and applauding) is arguably even worse. There's also the sound effect that plays when you're infected. It sounds like a distorted, drawn-out sound of glass screeching and then shattering, all while freaky whispers that sound like they're played backward assault your ears. It doesn't help that infection level is one of the hardest meters to manage, so this will quickly evoke feelings of dread from players due to gameplay reasons as well.

Scare Chord / int_d4cf1133	comment	"Waking The Witch" by Kate Bush starts off with around 80 seconds of quiet, relaxing piano music and ambient noise, with lots of reassuring voices urging the listener to wake up. Except for the last, who exclaims "look who's here to see you!". It's never explained what it is that's paying a visit, but it most certainly sounds terrifying. Then, after you've gotten over the initial shock of the music crashing in, a terrifying demonic voice shouts at you, just to make sure you've completely evacuated your bowels. For whatever reason, the CD mix sucks a lot of the life from the song, merely making it sound a bit strange. While it's still shocking and unexpected, to really get the full effect you have to listen to the mix on the original vinyl run.

Scare Chord / int_e26905cd	comment	When Kazuya Mishima is holding his grandfather, reminiscing about the old times when he used to train with him, it seems like a sweet scene. The musical cue that accompanies his evil smile and glowing red eye just before he kills Jinpachi is the classic stinger chord and interrupts this out of nowhere. The way the scene is set up lends itself to this, as when Kazuya picks up Jinpachi, he's facing the right side, thus his left eye (the one that glows) is unseen. When he smirks, the viewer is given a full-on headshot, and then as he looks over his shoulder afterward, his evil eye is the only one visible.

Nothing special is going on, the night guard is getting off his shift and a nurse is delivering medicine. As the nurse begins to walk away, the camera suddenly jumps to her end of the hall, and that is when somebody wrapped in white linen and wielding large scissors and a "scare chord symphony" comes from the other side of the hall with the blades raised high. After a millisecond of that, the scene finishes on a shot of a clean white headless Jesus statue.

Scare Chord / int_e8c34944	comment	Mike Oldfield examples: The ending of Tubular Bells (the original 1973 mix or the 2009 5.1 remix, but not the 1976 remix on Boxed) does this; the "caveman" passage segues into a very quiet and soothing guitar/organ segment and then suddenly, without warning, the Sailors' Hornpipe drastically ups both the tempo and the volume. The point thirteen and a half minutes into Part 1, where a long, mellow Hawaiian-guitar-like sequence is interrupted by a horrible, raspy guitar. And, of course, the sinister voice of Vivian Stanshall appearing out of nowhere to speak the words "Grand piano" after 20 minutes of pure instrumental. Oldfield's later work Amarok is absolutely full of these, including a section where some light African chanting is punctuated by scare chord stabs and a sampled voice saying "Happy?" in increasingly processed and chopped-up ways. Supposedly, his falling out with Virgin Records prompted him to produce an album that Virgin couldn't possibly lift a 3-minute single from, as every theme in the piece would inevitably move on faster than this, or be subjected to these bizarre interruptions.
