The first 40 seconds of this video have always stuck with me. Since I first saw the original Texas Chainsaw (far to early on in my life :P) the eerie scraping sound has always been one of my favourite ‘beautifully freaky’ sounds! I’m not 100% sure on what it is – I’ve heard it’s either a pitchfork being dragged along a metal surface and manipulated somehow, or an old flash bulb screeching as it charges… I’ll have to find that out… Either way, it’s a great way to get people feeling a bit on-edge from the word go!
