Sound Effects
Haunted House employed segments of the well-known Bach organ piece, Toccata and Fugue in D minor, during the game's start (the pronounced opening of the Toccata), during the game itself (a repeated playback of part of the Toccata where the tune alternates quickly between one fixed note and other notes within the D Minor key), and when the game ends, the famous ending of the Fugue is played.

Famous quotes containing the words sound and/or effects:
“O love, my love! if I no more should see
Thyself, nor on the earth the shadow of thee,
Nor image of thine eyes in any spring,—
How then should sound upon Life’s darkening slope
The ground-whirl of the perished leaves of Hope,
The wind of Death’s imperishable wing?”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)
“The machines that are first invented to perform any particular movement are always the most complex, and succeeding artists generally discover that, with fewer wheels, with fewer principles of motion, than had originally been employed, the same effects may be more easily produced. The first systems, in the same manner, are always the most complex.”
—Adam Smith (1723–1790)
