Truly Frightening/Creepy Songs?

[9 to 5]

[MalaCloudy Black]

I find the entirety of Tomahawk's Anonymous album to be creepy, from War Song to Crow Dance. Just an atmospheric album.

[ClaRK! Kent]

Crazy Train by Ozzy/Black Sabbath. It spooks me out to the Nth degree.

['That Guy']

Act of Depression by Underoath always scared me. In the middle of the song a bunch of little kids start laughing, and they say "Alex turn around" And my name is Alex. So the 1st time i heard that I was home-alone and i was scared shitless.

[Nerf]

Ahaha.

New underpants please.

[Liam]

'Come To Daddy' by Aphex Twin.

Easily.

'Come To Daddy' by Aphex Twin.

Easily.

Not to mention the video for that song. I think it even got yanked from MTV and such for being so damned freaky.

[R.W.]

"Climbing Up The Walls" by Radiohead defiantely has an eerie, creepy quality to it.

[Skummy]

"I Come And Stand At Every Door" by This Mortal Coil, "Patriot (A Single)" by Scott Walker, "N.L.T." by SunnO))) & Boris, "Sleep" by Godspeed! You Black Emperor and "Land Of Some Other Order" by Earth probably all fit the kind of eery and creepy category, but I'd be hard pressed to think of "frightening" songs per-sé.

EDIT: Actually, Penderecki's "Threnody For The Victims Of Hiroshima" probably fits the bill for frightening.

I just realized that people probably have no idea what I was talking about, so let me elaborate. After the final song on that album, the track kept going on (as in, time kept ticking but there was no music playing) and I never really paid it much attention. I just left the headphones in and started clicking around the internet. Suddenly and from out of no where, a low, low voice starts talking about builds up...

"Someone's in your house...."

"Someone's in your house...."

"Someone's in your house...."

You seriously need to hear it, the voice is creepy as hell and then you're able to hear the heavy breathing... ugh. It scared the shit out of me until the end where it goes "You understand this isn't just a CD... it is taking over your brain...You think... you think you are SAFE?" before bursting out into a loud voice yelling;

"MAKE WAY FOR THE QUEEN"

Listen to "bobby peru". If you're not traumatized after that, then you're one sick, sick fuck.

I WANNA FUCK YOU LIKE A BUNNY!

SODOMY!

[TGC]

SODOMY!!!

[naiwf]

"White trash get down on your knees, time for cake and SODOMY!", gotta love Manson's way with words

[Bodom]

"Jordan Minnisota" by Big Black was kind of scary.

[Skummy]

Very true, actually, I forgot about that one. Probably moreso when you know what its about. Ah, Steve Albini, lovely man.

[GRIFT]

All My Friends by OLP...

The Hole by Townes Van Zandt...

[TheRyno]

I think the only song I've ever been truly creeped out by was "Daddy" by Korn. Hearing that for the first time in my early teen years with headphones was damn uncomfortable and I still refuse to listen to it. Also, around the same time period, just about Manson's entire "Smells Like Children" album creeped me out as well but I've since come to terms with it.

Britney Spears singing "Gimme More" live.

[Bodom]

Anything by Johnny Rebel or Screwdriver.

Most of Earth's discography is creepy, I still like to go back and listen to Earth2 on occasion just for how atmospheric songs like Teeth Of The Lions Rule The Divine is.
