Undertone

by Edmund Blunden · 1928

Undertone is a multifaceted concept appearing across media, from a horror‑frequency book exploring hidden sounds and fear signals, to a memoir of the punk band The Undertones, a music‑programming guide, and an A24 horror film that centers on a paranormal podcast. The term also denotes a literary device describing underlying tones beneath a work’s surface. Together these works examine sound, psychology, music, and the hidden layers of narrative.
