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.

What if Hollywood focused on the fundamentals of good moviemaking instead…

What do you do for a living? I wear rubber gloves on my feet and walk around. I’m under the protection of the union
For this being a video about sounds in scenes the woman here sure does TALK OVER A LOT OF THEM!!!
On a binge. What a great find!
This makes me want to become a sound artist
Narrator never shuts up, which negates the whole theme of this video.
I have those same exact chimes. They're tuned to a major scale of A.
How about using less or quieter background music for your video that is literally about sound?
I know some people who’s room looks just like this.
