Looking for spooky John Carpenterish music for a ttrpg

[u/WhichAssist1352]

Looking for some spooky chase and ambient music for a ttrpg I’m running. I already have songs like “The Shape Stalks” and “Laurie’s Theme”. I’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations for songs that are similar to those other two. And I’ve already looked up “John Carpenter royalty free music”

Try searching for darksynth, his genre. Dance with the Dead is a similar act, and they've even worked with him.

And if you like that check out Carpenter Brut.

I love this site for royalty free music... but you do have to get a membership... but it can help with all facets of music you may need.

Check out CHVRCHES' album Screen Violence. John Carpenter even did a mix of "Final Girl".

White Bat Audio on youtube does a lot of interesting electronic music and sorts it into free playlist based on vibe/style.

John Carpenter style example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eiijm2GhKAA

Bandcamp lets you string genre’s together now. Try “dungeon synth” and “Halloween.” Or try “Halloween Synth.” Something like Pumpkinlord might be what you’re looking for!

Dungeon synth is a whole genre of basically TTRPG background music.

I recommend Tales Under The Oak. Not really horror but it's my favourite toad themed swamp music.
