A good horror movie leaves you scared long after the movie is finished. An effectively creepy TV show has you jumping out of your seat every week. What are the spookiest horror movie or TV show soundtracks of all time?

With Halloween around the corner, we asked the AudioJungle and VideoHive communities for their favorite horror soundtracks—tracks that most effectively add tension and atmosphere to the onscreen action. Collectively we’ve come up with thirteen tunes that will get your skin crawling.
