How do you convey the presence or someone or something in a scene without the audience actually seeing it? That's the special challenge of horror-movie sound design. In this episode of "Movies Insider," we visited Alchemy Post Sound, the Foley studio behind "The Invisible Man" and a slew of other horror projects, to find out how horror movies use sound to play with viewers' minds.
We had one of Alchemy's founders, Foley artist Leslie Bloome, break down a few scenes from "The Invisible Man" as case studies, recreating how his team made sounds as subtle and detailed as a faucet squeak or a faint wind chime. He also showed us how Foley artists create a range of classic horror-movie suspense sounds, from unsettling creaks to mysterious gusts of wind, and explained how all these carefully crafted sounds come together to ratchet up the tension in horror scenes, making climactic moments feel larger than life.

I love how horror movies are becoming more and more focused on the sound of it, it doesn’t rely on cheap jump scares. Jump scared are welcome but I feel as if many movies and franchises are using them every chance they get. Sometimes a suspenseful moment where you are waiting, sitting on bated breath, for the jump scare, only for it not to happen. In my opinion, those moments are better then any. And I feel as if sound adds more feel to if you are really in the scene itself.

@LeftvsReich 2 года назад

One of my favorite horror movies of all time, "It Follows", doesn't rely on jump scares at all, but it has, IIRC, two of them. The movie relies so heavily on suspense and panic that the two jump-scare moments really surprise you. I was just watching the movie for the third or fourth time a couple nights ago and both jump-scares legitimately startled me. And the rest of the movie is even better.

@@user-vw6tc1cx7z Yeah, it was confusing that they kept saying wind... It's that "vvwwwooommmp vvvwwwwoooowmmp" sound that sounds like your own heartbeat in your head when you're anxious or sick. That's what they were referring to. Honestly, a lot of the subtlety just gets lost for 99% of people... I have pretty great headphones and still could barely make out the chimes and stuff if I focused hard. I think they got a bit carry away with their expensive Hollywood sound system and forgot that no one but millionaires own that kind of setup. Most of us are watching the movie on a plain tv, a laptop and earbuds or a basic soundbar. A small percentage of us have headphones over 200$ or decent surround sound, even fewer have true audiophile gear. It's not your fault...

Foley artists and foley editors deserve more recognition for evoking emotional responses from an audience…at times, more so than actors. The range of conscious and subconscious influence often goes unrecognized by the audience. Beneath conscious recognition, that affect is an essential part of immersing the audience into the film.
