In 2021, OcTerror returned to its roots with an eclectic mix of music from inside and outside horror films. This year we’ll be continuing our celebration of diegetic and non-diegetic sound mixing, soundtracks, and scores with another list of amazing musical moments from some of our favorite movies. In the past 20 years, we… Continue reading Pumpkin Songs 2022: 31 Tracks for Treats
In 2020, we enjoyed the cinematic scores of horrifying classics such as Psycho and more recent terrors like Midsommar.

Here, we return to popular songs used in horror films, both within the context… Continue reading Pumpkin Songs 2021: 31 On-Scream Melodies

It’s jamming to a playlist on Spotify called “FUCK Men.” Or a video of lofi songs from the 50s and… Continue reading What I’m Listening To: September 2020
