Welcome to my Dark/Ominous Music pages!
These tracks are intended to underscore “things that go bump in the night,” whether it be in films, video games, podcasts, visual novels or spooky events.
Many have looping versions, intended for game developers.

Ogg Music Pack – Dark/Ominous
Music packs are also available for these genres: Horror, Sci-Fi, Action, Fantasy, Puzzle Music and Chiptunes.
PLEASE READ: If you find my work helpful, please consider making a small donation through PayPal to support the site. I don’t allow advertising here because I feel it would be distracting to my visitors so I pay for everything myself. Also, the keyboards I use to create free music for everyone are very expensive…I actually make monthly payments for them…so donations from the community help me to pay for them as well. Thanks for helping out.
HOW TO DOWNLOAD: To download any given piece of music to your computer, simply right-click on the blue text link under its player and choose “save link as” or “save target as” depending on your browser. Then choose the location on your system where you would like to save it.
IMPORTANT: You must properly attribute me in order to use my music legally. Please see my attribution information page (accessed from the top menu bar.)
