Last-Note Nightmare: Difference between revisions

* "I See Dead People In Boats" from the soundtrack for ''Pirates of The Caribbean: At World's End''. Instead of having the violins play the last note, it's done by an organ.

* "528491" from the ''[[Inception]]'' soundtrack has a 'kick' at the end of the song, followed by the sound of a train.

 

=== Live-Action TV ===

** And don't forget the Nico Nico Chorus version of "Daughter of Evil". At the song's end, a few bars start to play from the sequel song, "Servant of Evil", until they're brutally cut off by a terrifying, realistic guillotine sound. ''Literal'' Last-Note Nightmare, there.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LciylndQPu8 DYE] by AVTechNO! is at its loudest and busiest near the end, and then the song [[Nothing Is Scarier|ends abruptly]]. It's not as bad in this upload because of the ending credits, but on the version that can be found on ''[DYE] -synthesis-'', the sudden stop is the last thing you hear on the track.

 

=== [[Video Games]] ===

* The last few seconds of "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1l26RYMtD6U Alexander's Suicide]" in ''[[King's Quest VI Heir Today Gone Tomorrow]]''. It gets coupled up with [[Heartbeat Soundtrack]], as it is incurred by {{spoiler|Alex}}'s heartbeat slowing down to a stop {{spoiler|via "Drink Me" potion}}.

* In [[The Path]], "forest theme" sounds perfectly soothing and calm in-game. But when you listen to it in the soundtrack, the last two minutes end with a rasping screeching echoey voice screaming repeatedly "and I will eat you!" for the rest of the track without any music playing. Also the in-game version of "the girl in red" ends with a disconcerting staticy scream overtake the whole song.

 

=== [[Web Comics]] ===

*** {{spoiler|Indeed it does not...}}

* The ''[[VG Cats]]'' comic [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=275 "A Magical Wonderland".] Taken [[Up to Eleven]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHHoFcZ-iaA here] (6:08)

 

=== [[Web Original]] ===

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqToFk7ZYEM Slender Man's rendition of "Still Alive"] from [[Portal (series)|Portal]]. He sings the last bit normally, going:

{{quote|And believe me I am still alive.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C_HReR_McQ Dont Hug Me I'm Scared]. The worst part is not the sudden switch in the animation (though that is just as terrifying), but the continuous, soul crushing minor chord that somehow carries with you for several days where ever you go...

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vPRu1bR5fc This protest video] against BP's greenwashing at the 2012 Olympics. The music starts out with peaceful piano, but when the BP cyclist shows his true colors and starts turning the environment into a [[Crapsack World]], the music changes to a dark [[Industrial]] tune accompanied by dissonant 8-bit-style jingles reminiscent of "game over" music.

 

=== [[Western Animation]] ===

* The short version Season 1 theme for ''[[Young Justice (animation)|Young Justice]]'' was a triumphant and brash brass-led flourish. The Season 2 theme is the same until it suddenly switches to a somber dirge for the [[Title In]] of the "Invasion" subtitle.

 

* At the end of his "Guitar Fever" review, Ashens puts a monstrous sound of 8-bit terror. It's actually [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IbgHr_9-7E code for a ZX Spectrum computer], so he didn't put it there to be mean.

* Maybe this doesn't count as a last note, but look on [[YouTube]] for video people have taken of the US analog TV switchoff. It's just creepy, as most of them went from everything as normal, to static. As if all of civilization had just suddenly collapsed.
