What is the scariest/creepiest music you've heard?

Porcupine Tree - Space Transmission



I don't recommend using this as a lullaby.

 

Au contraire...TWO great things. #1:

 

And #2.

(OK, this didn't really happen, but it should have!)

 

I always thought this was creepy.

 

Definitely the best thing about that movie.

 

When I was a kid, my sister and I used to turn out all the lights and lay in bed with “In The Beginning” from The Moody Blues “On The Threshold Of A Dream” playing.

 

A few ELO albums have ominous openings too. Face the Music and Secret Messages in particular.

 

Wind Chimes on Smiley Smile is creepy enough as it is but that loud train whistle in the middle made me nearly leap off my seat the first time i heard it

 

Another one is Helter Skelter, the whole song is eerie and spooky to begin with, kind of sounds like all the chaos from 1968 is happening, then the Manson association as well, and the ending that comes out of nowhere. After it fades back in it gets real quiet, so the first time I turned the volume up to hear, only to be scared s-less by the "blisters..," scream at the end. I nearly hit the ceiling the first time I heard that

 

OK, that's cool. But all these years later, it's cool I saw his show.

 

Easy one for me. “The Devil’s Triangle I-III” by King Crimson from In the Wake of Poseidon. Puts you on edge. I love it.

 

I'm interested.
I can see how a lot of the music mentioned is eerie/creepy in relation to the visuals that we associate with them, but is it that visual association that pulls it over the line as creepy?
I knew tubular bells before i ever saw the exorcist and as a piece of music it never struck me that way.
Jaws was a creepy kind of movie for an Aussie that lived at the beach, but is the cello without the great white shark imagery actually scary?

 

Anything by Devil Doll.

 

Either late Scott Walker, especially The Drift
or Swans, The Seer.
Not just creepy... dark and majestic.

 

The Sinking of the Titanic By Gavin Bryars

 

Funny for a McCartney song to be in this thread, but it just shows his amazing diversity of songs.

P.S. this thread has been running for over a decade and a half, and that is spooky in itself!

 

This little hunny for me (this is an ancient thread & it may have already been posted).

 

Im wishing that they will release a compilation of all the songs from friday the 13th franchise like : animal by felony, the eyes from friday5, love is a lie from Lion, the hardest part of the night from f13 8.... etc



The same with nightmare in elm street wih songs like dream warriors, a divinyls single, into the fire by dokken etc...


Now we can buy soundtracks but for singles you have to buy separate

 

Boris The Spider completely freaked me out as a kid.

 

John Coltrane- the father the son and the holly ghost; consequences
Wayne Shorter- etcetera; juju
Ornette coleman- free jazz
Beatles- long long long; revolution 9
King crimson- the devils triangle; in the court of the crimson king
Greatful dead- blues for allah
Black sabbath- under the sun; sympton of the universe
Hellhammer- triump of death; satanic rites
Mozart- requiem
Erik satie- gnossiene

 

Not really music but I have the wonderful cd set “The Conet Project” which is recordings of ‘Number Starions’. It’s pretty weird.

The Conet Project / 1111 / Ordering Information

 

I have this. It is creepy thinking about what the hell it's all for! SOMEBODY is listening and decoding it, but who? And why?

 

Burzum is pretty damn creepy and scary

 

Bump for Halloween
