Entry #16 (Halloween) Clock Tower "Don't Cry, Jennifer"


 This track comes from Clock Tower, the first installment in the point-and-click survival horror series of the same name. This game was released in 1995 on the Super Famicom, and was subsequently re-released on the Playstation, Wonder Swan, and PC. I love this particular track for its balance of ambiance and melody. In a lot of horror-themed games the music is very slow and atmospheric. This track certainly has some chilling personality, but it's also driven forward in a compelling way.


Developer: Human Entertainment 
Composer: Kouji Niikura (side note: the game has two possible composers. Ultimately, the choice came down to the listings by Brent Weinbach over at the Legacy Music Hour- he's an expert on this stuff, and I feel I can trust him)
