About this sound

A tense, pulsing excerpt from the soundtrack to The Substance (2024), used by creators for dramatic reveals, body-horror edits and unsettling transitions.

This short clip captures the cold, pulsing electronic tension at the heart of The Substance, with a driving synth rhythm that feels both glamorous and deeply uneasy. The sound builds pressure without resolving it, so a scene suddenly feels more dangerous, artificial and out of control. It works because it carries the film's mood of obsession and transformation in just a few seconds, turning an ordinary edit into something clinical, surreal and slightly horrifying, and leaving the viewer waiting for a reveal that may not be pleasant.

Pro tip

Drop it just before a before-and-after reveal or a character's transformation, cut the music hard on the visual change, and keep dialogue out so the pulse does the work. Avoid looping it, as the tension fades quickly on repeat.

How people use it

Creators use it for dramatic before-and-after transformation edits.
Editors add it to unsettling beauty and skincare routine videos.
It scores horror edits showing a character slowly losing control.
TikTok creators pair it with shocking glow-up reveal transitions.

More information

Its electronic score by Raffertie became closely associated with the film's glossy, disturbing tone and spread through short-form edits, trailers and reaction videos. Short excerpts like this one are now reused online to signal transformation, vanity and the darker side of perfection.
