Earns its place in the toolfarm library for pairing a 12GB source-recording Construction Kit with a ready-to-use Designed collection, co-produced by a sound designer credited on films like The Hills Have Eyes and Gothika.
BOOM Library Cinematic Horror is a horror sound effects library co-produced by sound designer Richard Adrian, whose reference list includes films such as The Hills Have Eyes, Gothika, Thir13en Ghosts, Ghost Ship, House of Wax, Haunted Hill and Mirrors, plus productions like 8 Mile, Matrix Reloaded and Swordfish. The files come as WAV, so they import into After Effects, Premiere Pro and any software that handles the format.
The Cinematic Horror Construction Kit holds over 12GB of source recordings: ambients, organic and synthetic drones, human sounds, impacts such as guitar distortion and creepy clangs, metal impacts, metal squeaks and scrapes, rises, instruments including piano, violin and wine glass, vocals and vocal choirs, and wood creaks. These are raw, organized sounds for designing your own effects. The Designed collection features pre-designed, ready-to-use SFX, with each file containing four variations — booms, drones, hits, shockers, stingers, stutters, whooshes, screams, distortion, whispers, echoes and more.
A bundle pairs both editions. All files carry embedded metadata.
BOOM Library Cinematic Horror is best for sound designers and editors building horror SFX in After Effects, Premiere Pro or other WAV-compatible audio and video software.
BOOM Library Cinematic Horror is completely free to download and use.
BOOM Library Cinematic Horror ships as WAV files, which import into After Effects and Premiere Pro, as well as other video editors like Final Cut Pro X, Vegas Pro and Media Composer. Because the format is standard WAV, the sounds also load into audio software such as Logic Pro, Cubase, Nuendo, Ableton Live, Pro Tools and Reaper, plus library tools Soundminer and Basehead. Any application that handles WAV can work with the files.
BOOM Library Cinematic Horror comes in two editions. The Construction Kit holds over 12GB of raw, organized source recordings — ambients, drones, impacts, metal squeaks, instruments, vocals and more — meant for designing your own sounds from the stock. The Designed collection features fully designed, ready-to-use SFX drawn from that same Construction Kit material, with each file containing four variations covering booms, hits, shockers, stingers, whooshes, screams and other haunting sounds. A bundle pairs both editions.
BOOM Library Cinematic Horror is listed as free here in the catalog. Licensing terms can change, so check the developer's page for the current details before downloading. The library is available in three forms — the Construction Kit, the Designed collection, and a bundle that combines both — and all files arrive as WAV with embedded metadata, ready to import into compatible audio and video software.
BOOM Library Cinematic Horror's Designed collection provides four variations in each file, giving alternates to choose from. The collection covers booms, drones, hits, shockers, stingers, stutters, whooshes and further sounds, including screams and screeches, distortion, whispers, echoes and metal squeaks. These are pre-designed and ready to use. For raw material instead, the Construction Kit edition supplies the underlying source recordings that the Designed sounds are built from.
