Press play for a haunted-house dance track. Then ask for what your party needs: creepier at the door, faster on the dance floor, longer for the whole night.

Haunted house party

118 BPM in D minor: a creeping organ, a ghostly whistle, church bells.

1. **The door creaks** wind and bells
2. **The party starts** beat, bass, organ
3. **Lights off** a ghost whistles
4. **Everyone dances** all of it

## Ask for what your party *needs*

- You make it slower and creepier for when guests arrive
- You add thunder in the lights-off part
- You make it 128 BPM for the dance floor
- You add a scream-like synth hit at the start of each section
- You make it last ten minutes without repeating too much

## Party tips

- Open it, press play, and leave it looping: it plays as long as the page is open.
- Make two versions: slow and creepy for the door, fast for dancing.
- Share it with a link so friends can play it, or remix it for their own party.
