The fear factor of nearly every film and walk through attraction would decrease dramatically without the impact of creative sound design. Audio Zombie is an innovative company which provides world-class sound design to the horror and entertainment industry. In a short period of time, Audio Zombie has made a strong and lasting impact in the horror world and industry.
Audio Zombie was started approximately a year ago when it developed out of the birth of Lollipop Recording Studio. Lollipop Recording Studio was experiencing a lot of success recording horror and metal influenced bands. Along with recording and producing bands in the horror/metal genre, Lollipop Recording Studio began composing creepy and disturbing intros for the bands. An interest sparked when bands started telling Lollipop Recording Studio that these sound creations were exactly what the horror world lacked and needed. It was at this moment that Lollipop Recording Studio expanded and Audio Zombie evolved into composing horror film scores. As the word started to spread, haunted attractions were approaching Audio Zombie as a result of their customized, unique and over-the-top sound design. Audio Zombie puts pride in taking horror to another level by using old school creative sound design where every sound is customized and composed from scratch.
Audio Zombie has been working with the haunted house market since the company started about a year ago. People in the haunted house market were exposed to the horror films they had created sound design for and since it was nothing like they had heard before, inquired about how Audio Zombie could customize sound design for their haunted attractions. Over the past year, Audio Zombie’s unique approach to sound design has created exclusive audio products which can be heard pouring out of some of the biggest attractions nationwide, such as top-rated haunted houses, theme parks, museums and independent films. These major attractions and film projects that Audio Zombie has created customized scores and sound designs for include The Bates Motel (Glen Mills, PA), Madame Tussauds Wax Museum (New York, NY), Fear Itself at Legend Skream Park (Mishawaka, IN), House of Haunts (Wildwood, NJ) and the independent film: Fallow Ground (Emerald Productions) winning Best Audio Design at the Project Twenty1 Film Festival.
Audio Zombie is a company based on the concepts of respect, pride and valuing the people they work with. It’s unfortunate that a significant portion of the music and special attractions industry is often filled with people who do not share connections or help each other out. In contrast, developing strong, solid relationships with their clients and sharing connections to help each other out is a major cornerstone of Audio Zombie. Furthermore, they are strong supporters of the horror scene along with all genres in the music scene. Once you work with Audio Zombie, it does not end there as they tell people you exist, share connections and refer people to other businesses.
Some of the things Audio Zombie has seen about the haunted house market that they especially like include meeting a diverse group of people with different backgrounds who come from all walks of life and share a common passion. Many people have the misconception that people have to be strange or odd to have an interest in the horror market and industry. However, at horror conventions, Audio Zombie has had the pleasure of meeting everyone from your small business owners to powerful business executives and physicians who have a passion for the haunted house and horror industry.
The tips and recommendations that Audio Zombie can provide to haunted house owners is to be unique and set yourself apart with a custom sound design that no one else has. Sound really changes everything and it is so important to have a distinctive, exclusive piece that fits your business. Audio Zombie truly appreciates and values the concept that details matter and there is no more important detail than one of custom sound design.
