Description: 

Sound recording of a waterphone, played by Todd Barton. The waterphone is an instrument that was invented by Richard Waters. When played with a violin bow (as it is in this recording) it creates an eerie, otherworldly sound that is often used to create a sense of lurking danger in horror movies.
