FAQ – Halloween Music
What works best for a family-friendly party playlist?
Pick playful cues with light percussion, xylophone, and cartoonish effects. Keep tempos moderate and avoid harsh screams or heavy sub bass if little kids are around.
How do I keep narration clear in a spooky video?
Set the music 6–9 dB under the voice, use tracks with gentle highs, and leave a short breath before key lines. Minimal pulses make captions and jokes easier to read.
Short stings or full background tracks for social posts?
Use 2–5 second stings for jump cuts and reveals. For reels and stories, a 15–30 second bed with a clean button ending makes edits feel tidy.
What BPM feels creepy versus chase-like?
Creepy ambience sits around 60–90 BPM with space between hits. Chase energy appears at 100–120 BPM with simple patterns that cut cleanly.
Are there options that feel scary without being too intense?
Yes, choose cues with toy instruments, marimba, or soft strings. They keep the Halloween theme while staying friendly for classrooms and community events.
Can I loop a track for a porch or hallway setup?
Look for versions marked loop-ready. Start on a downbeat and return to the same point at the end. A subtle ambience under occasional stings keeps the mood fresh.
