My Scary Halloween Video #3

Here it is. My 3rd creepy, unsettling video for the Halloween season. Another simple concept. Just going down a staircase with some spooky sounding notes played on a piano.

So I just made a video while going down a staircase and then slowed it down and distorted it a bit. The music comes from a band called Starfield and a song called "My Generation". I just used the intro, looped it, slowed it down, changed the equalization and added a scratchy record sound to it. I think that together with the video it is absolutely chilling. Upon retrospective consideration I perhaps should have made the film black & white and also more grainy.

Anyway, here is the song I borrowed the music from.

There it is. I uploaded my video to YouTube nearly 2 years ago and it hasn't done exceptionally well. There's always now.

I don't have any additional scary videos that I made. I didn't make any last year and I have not made any this year, but perhaps if I get the right idea and right sounds I will make a few more clips.

My Scary Halloween Video #1

I had created a few musical pieces/videos for the Halloween season. Here is the first of three I made and my personal favourite. It includes my own original music and a 'scary' video. I have always felt that atmosphere makes for scariness, and that 'gross' is not equivalent to 'creepy.'

It is 2 days shy of 3 years that I have uploaded this video to YouTube. And 1001 views in that amount of time. Nothing to write home about, but the fact that something original I made received that many views is pretty cool. So here is the video. Check it out and let me know what you think.

The music comes from the ending of one of my songs called "Erie's Song." I created the recording of the song to have an overall scary, lonely, dark, somber, unsettling, uneasy vibe to it. This particular part of the song features a sampled, heavily reverbed piano loop playing forwards and backwards along with some trailing reverb-heavy vocal and bowed acoustic bass.
