It’s official: horror isn’t just a seasonal thrill anymore — it’s a cultural juggernaut. With Weapons slaying at the box office, Wednesday season 2 debuting at #1 on Netflix, and the newly announced Halloween video game — where players can stalk unsuspecting victims through the streets of Haddonfield — audiences are proving their appetite for spooky, suspenseful, and strange content has never been stronger.

For creatives working on this caliber of project, music and sound aren’t just supporting elements — they’re essential to storytelling. The right cue can build tension, land a jump scare, or twist the knife in a reveal. That’s where Megatrax comes in.
