Behind The Scenes

Creating the Soundscape for Sting

Presented by Spectrum Films

What makes a horror film truly terrifying? Beyond the visuals, it’s often the sound design that grips us—the subtle creak of a floorboard, the guttural growl of an unseen entity, or the deafening silence that precedes a jump scare. In Kiah Roache-Turner’s 2024 horror, Sting, the soundscape plays a starring role, heightening tension and immersing audiences in its chilling narrative.

 

Join Catherine Armstrong from Spectrum Films as she moderates this deep dive into the art of sound design for horror. Discover how the creative team behind Sting crafted its spine-chilling auditory world, blending traditional techniques with modern technologies like immersive audio formats and advanced sound manipulation tools. Learn how sound is used to build suspense, evoke fear, and keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

 

Whether you're a sound enthusiast or a film lover fascinated by the craft, this panel promises a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to make horror truly haunting.
