Disturbing Video Game Music 236: The Graveyard - Waxworks

We return to the incredibly gruesome world of Waxworks, this time for the graveyard stage where you are in the 1800s and a mad necromancer has taken over the cemetery. You'll need to explore this now cursed graveyard to find the lair of the necromancer, fighting zombies all the while and eventually dealing with even more dangerous undead beings. It is a fairly simple and even generic scenario being in a haunted graveyard, but Waxworks does a good making it sincerely creepy; it certainly helps this area contains many of the most horrible death scenes in the game, but the music is also a big contributor to the uncanny and tense atmosphere.

You know whats scarier? This games game over screens

[@redscyther7725]

I still find it shocking that this game came out back in 1992. Not that there weren't violent games back then, but how many games back then can you think of that featured the kind of grotesque images in this one?

[@luisdiegohernandez2326]

Oh wow, still making these DVGM videos. Pretty cool.

The amiga verson of this is honestly scarier in my opinion since its actually in decent quality

[@Dracomut]

I can definitely see that, I just personally find the discordance of the DOS instruments to be a bit more chilling

[@michaelnunes6349]

​@Dracomut they both give off the vibe that your not in a very safe place. Anything but safe.

This music makes me feel like I’m in some kind of computer lab rather than a graveyard.

[@TheLateLordKardok]

Watched a playthrough of this full game recently, and I've gotta say, the DOS version of the soundtrack is utter garbage compared to this. I loved all the music tracks for Victorian-era London.

Not as creepy as it is absolutely desolate.

[@Evil_Soulja]

Sounds like Playboi carti

Creep-o-Meter: 4/10. I heard scarier stuff.
