Most years we obsess over what types of sound effects to have in our cemetery.

I think one of our best haunts occurred when we used no sound effects or music. The night was clear and cool and the fog machines put a creepy effect across the cemetery.

The stillness and quietness of the place made people stand out in front of our gate deciding to go in or not. Some just sat there and sad, nah, it's too creepy. Too creepy, us? Well, thank you. People are usually somewhat prepared to be scared if it looks and "sounds" like it might happen, but the stillness really freaks them out.

I think there are perks to music/ sound effects, and then there are some disadvantages.

I realized that sometimes not having too much is actually better.

What do you think?

I'd agree with you. I mean how many real cemetary's having music playing? I'm thinking that maybe at most some sounds of wind, crickets, an occasion owl hoot and leaves rustling would be plenty for a cemetary haunt. Maybe even the sound of shoveling way in the background somewhere. I would definately NOT have music playing.

I agree to an extent. As halloweiner said, I prefer realistic sounds like rain, wind, thunder, etc.

It helps especially when your on a street with cars goin by all the time :-/

stick with natural sounds.
