Hi, as I was listening to music I grew up with, I delved into some instrumental stuff that my mom played a lot. A few of the songs were really creepy. What songs top your scariest song list. One of my top picks is from the Chariots of fire soundtrack. It's called "Abraham's Theme" The composer is Vangelis. "Dream Weaver" from the Wayne and Garth soundtrack is also up on that list. It has the weirdest beginning. These songs remind me of ghosts, don't know why, thwy just do.

In Greekk, I'd have to say I Plimera (The Flood) by Markos Vamvakaris. Ffor some reason, it isn't on youtube though alot of his other stuff is. As the story goes, there was this big flood in Athens in which he saw a child drowning and so he wrote about it. Even the melody is ominous and haunting. In English, I'd probably say In The Year 2525 by Zager and Evans..

The words scare the hell out of me and too much of it looks like it may come true one day. We already have artificial insemination, pills for food (found in survival places) and robots and nano technology. Plus, the last part about the Earth is certainly true. What are we giving back?

"Wherever you go, I'll be two steps behind you", or the Creepy Stalker song. ;)
Also the opeing to "War of the Worlds" musical, written by Jeff Wayne, the keyboard player from Moody Blues and I think it is narrated by Richart Burton, that whole album scared the living daylights out of me when I was little and I still think it's awesome.

Anything by Cannible Corpse scares the crap out of me. Yes I'm in to brutal metal, but ewww! Not that band.

## Post 5 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Friday, 25-Sep-2009 11:40:25

I'm with metal angel on this one.

## Post 6 by blw1978 (I'll have the last word, thank you!) on Friday, 25-Sep-2009 20:00:16

Oh yeah, and when I was really little, the "King of Pain" by the police used to scare the crap out of me. It doesn't now, but I thought the words were creepy. I saw the Police in concert a couple of years ago, and had to laugh at that memory. Also, the song from the Exorcist is pretty freaky.

## Post 7 by wildebrew (We promised the world we'd tame it, what were we hoping for?) on Friday, 25-Sep-2009 22:47:07

What is so scary about C.Corpse? I mean, you cannot hear what the guy is growling, the melodies are either non existant or pretty standard thrash/death metal, well, more death metal, I never found them freaky, apart from their album names, song titles and artwork, more kind of like Slipknot, slightly amusing and so over the top you couldn't take them seriously. That being said, Butcherred at Birth was kind of a cool album and their drummer is unbelievable. But it's been like 15 years since I was in a death metal ish band, then I was a big fan of a band called Bolt Thrower and another one cutely named Massacre, album called Dawn of Iternity.
Check out Massive Attack's Mezzanine album, particularly the title track, "Risingson" and "Inertia Creeps", use head phones and notice the background sounds and the whispering, that band could get me freaked in the middle of the night for sure. Best time I ever listened to them though was during a night flight in the midst of winter, the weightlessness of the music mixed with taking off with some turbulance, kinda scary and kinda fascinating at the same time, it is awesome.
Oh, for freaky lyrics, check "3 Imaginary Boys" by the Cure from album with same name, also "a Forest" from, I think, 17 seconds.
Anyways, I am not saying you are wrong in any way that C.Corpse are scary but curious to see what you find scary about them.

## Post 8 by Blue Velvet (I've got the platinum golden silver bronze poster award.) on Saturday, 26-Sep-2009 3:52:42

I agree about In the Year 2525. Scary stuff to contemplate.
Also, Every Breath You Take by Sting. If ever a stalker song was written, that's it.

## Post 9 by metal angel (Help me, I'm stuck to my chair!) on Saturday, 26-Sep-2009 12:10:57

I guess its the lyrics themselvs. the fact they find that entertaining? that's f...ing creepy! But that's just my opinion. Although I do admire them musically.

## Post 10 by wildebrew (We promised the world we'd tame it, what were we hoping for?) on Saturday, 26-Sep-2009 12:14:04

Yeah, I never bothered to read their lyrics and I definitely can't pick out the words, so I guess I am missing out on a major scare facotr there.

## Post 11 by GreenTurtle (Music is life. Love. Vitality.) on Thursday, 01-Oct-2009 19:53:29

I agree, I don't see how someone would be creeped out by lyrics you can't really understand.
The 2 songs that creep me out are both by the Doors, The Soft parade and Not To Touch The Earth. Great stuff, but definitely a little creepy, especially if you try to get yourself into the mindset Jim Morrison must have been in to write lyrics like that.

Wow, i dont think songs are creepy, some r very stupid though

## Post 14 by SunshineAndRain (I'm happily married, a mom of two and a fulltime college student.) on Saturday, 03-Oct-2009 18:28:10

Dream by The Game, Gangster's Paradise by Coolio, some of Prince and Michael Jackson's stuff, just 'cuz they're so eccentric. I'm withmy husband on this one when he says the creepiest songstohim are those played backward.

## Post 15 by Damia (I'm oppinionated deal with it.) on Monday, 05-Oct-2009 17:53:40

The creepy song for me has to be actually from savage garden. The ambience of the song and the lyrics reminded me of Stephen King's the stand. Here are the lyrics that creeped me out with the link for the rest of them.
"A lone pair of watchful eyes
Oversee the living
Feel the presence all around
A tortured soul
A wound unhealing"

## Post 16 by The Straight Edge Superstar (Please, allow me to once again explain why you are wrong.) on Monday, 05-Oct-2009 19:36:26

Mine is:
"Smiling Like A Killer" by Motorhead

## Post 17 by Emerald-Hourglass (Account disabled) on Tuesday, 06-Oct-2009 11:42:32

"it always feels like, somebody's watching me" lol
dance with the devil by immortal technique is kinda disturbing. how is gangsters paradise creepy?
agree about the savage gardens song

## Post 18 by Twinklestar09 (I've now got the bronze prolific poster award! now going for the silver award!) on Tuesday, 06-Oct-2009 16:15:09

So far, mine would be "Possum Kingdom" by the Toadies. I've once also heard one of those songs that have mostly yelling so I couldn't understand most of it, but when it screamed (what sounded like) "I will kill you", that was pretty creepy to me.

## Post 19 by bermuda-triangulese (Help me, I'm stuck to my chair!) on Saturday, 10-Oct-2009 16:03:07

yes dance with the devil makes the list but it's still fucking amazing. Also wraith of the ropes is just wow. Lol um, let's see, some of the black metal stuff can be really off the wall sometimes.

## Post 20 by chelslicious (like it or not, I'm gonna say what I mean. all the time.) on Saturday, 10-Oct-2009 17:31:00

Lady Gaga's "paparazzi" is pretty creepy. in a stockerish sort of way though.

## Post 21 by Binary solo (the Zone BBS remains forever my home page) on Saturday, 10-Oct-2009 20:38:23

got to give CC's festering in the cript acredit here. the lyrics and melody are very good. also Marian by The sisters of mercy. And a lot of the songs by the fields of the nephilim give an icy creepy pleasant impression.

## Post 22 by BryanP22 (Novice theriminist) on Saturday, 17-Oct-2009 18:16:00

For me it would have to be Snow White Queen by Evanescence and Oxygene II by Jean-Michel Jarre. The latter has a high-pitched melody and a sort of ominously urgent repeating bassline. Then there's the little sound effects threaded through it.

## Post 23 by CrazedMidget (Sweet fantacy's really do come in small packages!) on Saturday, 17-Oct-2009 18:58:58

agree with chelsea, i hate that song..

## Post 24 by blw1978 (I'll have the last word, thank you!) on Sunday, 18-Oct-2009 0:19:35

I love Every breath you Take by the Police. that 2525 song is kind of scary too. I also hate My Immortal by Evanescence.

## Post 25 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Sunday, 18-Oct-2009 1:23:00

Really? snow white queen? I don't find that creepy, and why do you hate my immortal? which version of it?

## Post 26 by Elenhiia (Feather'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr for president!) on Sunday, 18-Oct-2009 4:22:38

Hmmmmm.
I'd have to say the instrument/synthy stuff in Closer by Nine Inch Nails scared the shit out of me. Also, it's not so creepy but Macedonian Morning from the Riverdance SOUNDTRACK, MIND YOU is such a haunting, eerie melody, if you can get hold of it you should. It's on YouTube, it's either the first or second one that comes up and if it sounds live that's not it. The Day After Tomorrow soundtrack has some eerie shit on it as well...That's all really for now but I'm sure there are loads more that I'm not thinking of, blame the sleep deprivation. lol

## Post 27 by BryanP22 (Novice theriminist) on Sunday, 18-Oct-2009 20:56:53

Well Snow WHite Queen's about a stalker that Amy had trouble with a few years back. I suppose it's more ominous than creepy, at least it is to me. As for My Immortal, apparently even Amy herself hates that song, although I happen to like it, at least the alternate version that features the rest of the band.

## Post 28 by Binary solo (the Zone BBS remains forever my home page) on Monday, 19-Oct-2009 17:02:00

There is of course shedding skin by Pantera.

## Post 29 by CountrySinger (Account disabled) on Saturday, 21-Nov-2009 14:24:29

I always thought my immortal was extremely haunting.

## Post 30 by LeoGuardian (You mean there is something outside of this room with my computer in it?) on Saturday, 21-Nov-2009 14:37:56

Anything by the industrial band Coil can do this to you, but particularly the Horse Rotorvator album including songs Austia and the one before it where it's just what sounds like a kid playing outsideand dogs barking in the distance. It's their atmosphere. For me, Motorhead and Slipknot are just fun and, as Wildebrew sayd, Over the Top. I can't say I'm scared on account of Coil, but it's definitely creepy.
Throbbing Gristle's Hamburger Lady, a description of a burn victim burned from waist up is pretty creepy once you listen to the lyrics. This is pretty avant-guard stuff though.
Most often I find the mushy trite stuff creepy only in that they could get the masses to do anything ...

## Post 31 by Elenhiia (Feather'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr for president!) on Saturday, 21-Nov-2009 20:38:09

If you want a truly haunting song, listen to Fruit Tree by Nick Drake. If you want a haunting Evanescence song, Eternal, Even in Death, or Hello will do that to you.

## Post 32 by blw1978 (I'll have the last word, thank you!) on Saturday, 21-Nov-2009 22:32:55

My immortal makes me think of people fighting off death, and suffering. Very scary stuff. I heard it all the time in a very dark time in my life, where I really thought my mom was seriously ill. Paparazzi scary? I love the beat of that song. I suppos the psychotic mentality of it is cary, but not the music. When I was little, the Police's King of Pain used to scare the crap out of me. It has a weird beginning, and some of the lyrics bring up some not-so-great mental pictures. Then, I saw them in concert, and they played it. I had to turn to my dad and laugh.

## Post 33 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Saturday, 21-Nov-2009 23:24:56

I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but if you can find it listen to the silent hill: origins OST soundtrack. Now theirs some haunting melodies. Granted, that's what the game is based off of, a survival horror game, and the soundtrack really brings that out.

## Post 34 by The Bad Influence (kicking ass and dying trying) on Wednesday, 09-Dec-2009 5:01:08

patric woolf the libertene scares the fuck out of me. it makes my blood run cold, but I love it.

Dido's lament/when i am laid in earth, percell, can't even listen to it, it's from an opera called dido and anious or something, and she sings it rite before stabbing herself, scary stuff.
Mr crowly by ozzy ozborn for some reason, and the first song from the first black sabbath album, forgotten what it's called...
there are more, just can't think of them rite now

## Post 36 by dj outrage (I can't call it a day til I enter the zone BBS) on Monday, 10-May-2010 12:37:44

the percell songs are thy hand bellinda and when i am laid in earth, just tried to listen to them again and they scare the shit out of me.
also, gloomy sunday by billie holliday, and that pink ellifants on perade thing from dumbo, tried to hear that on acid once and my god...
and the grim grinning ghosts song from disney's haunted mantion used to scare me, as did heffalumps and woozles from wini the poo lol i was a strange child.

## Post 37 by Elenhiia (Feather'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr for president!) on Tuesday, 11-May-2010 15:46:30

I was a strange child too, dear. lol. Heffalumps and Woozles was the scariest thing ever when I was three, and when I heard Pink Elephants on Parade I always pictured these tiny elephants marching around my bed with horseshoes on, getting bigger as they went, and when the lead one got up beside my face it would take a breath and suck me up its nostril. *shivers* That shit still scares me.
I don't know what story it was, but there was a story when I was little about a little girl called Penny or something with an evil aunt and uncle, and she had this teddy bear or something, and someone had sewn a massive diamond inside the teddy bear, and her aunt wanted it but she wouldn't let it go...and if I'm not mistaken she gets stuffed in to a basket and dropped in a sea cave, and the tide's coming in and she's singing, "Rescue me...rescue me..." to this really haunting melody. Scared me so much when I was little that I cried and couldn't move.

## Post 38 by HotPerro (I live and breathe the board) on Thursday, 13-May-2010 19:51:14

You and i, by Jeff Buckley... woke up to that song playing in the middle of the night... almost wanted my mommy, lol. Great song though. There's another one by the Sneaker Pimps, I think it's called Spin spin Sugar.

## Post 39 by LeoGuardian (You mean there is something outside of this room with my computer in it?) on Thursday, 13-May-2010 19:55:50

The Curse at the beginning of Current 93's Swastikas for Noddy album, and Inside the Fire With Her by Disturbed.
Then there's Anal Staircase and Circulomania and Ostia all three of those by Coil.
Or what about Hamburger Lady by Throbbing Gristle, about the burn victim in the late sixties.

## Post 40 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Friday, 14-May-2010 15:16:09

Inside the fire is creepy?
How about A Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold. I've heard the video is really weird.

## Post 41 by dj outrage (I can't call it a day til I enter the zone BBS) on Saturday, 15-May-2010 1:56:48

wasn't that film your on about called the rescuers, featheryyy? used to scare me too, that.
Frobbing grissle are pritty scarey in general if you ask me lol
and one of the above posts reminds me that song slowly sung by tim buckley is fairly scarey sometimes lol

## Post 42 by Elenhiia (Feather'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr for president!) on Sunday, 16-May-2010 17:51:26

Um, any band called Throbbing Gristle sounds scary to me; I don't have to know what they're like lol. And naming a music group Coil makes me think of all these people walking up a glowing silver spiral in a sheer black column, singing eerie melodies that echo down in to the darkness...All right I really doubt that's it, but that's the image I get lol

## Post 43 by LeoGuardian (You mean there is something outside of this room with my computer in it?) on Sunday, 16-May-2010 18:42:32

I just listened to In The Year 2525,
it's too fanciful to be creepy, but sounds like something from the 1980s when they all said the same about the year 2000 and us eating hydrogenated food / glowing in the dark from radiation.

## Post 44 by Elenhiia (Feather'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr for president!) on Monday, 17-May-2010 20:35:51

So I looked at "Abraham's Theme" and "Dream Weaver" and they were pretty eerie too. There's a bit in Armageddon, where they come round the moon and see the asteroid and its trail of debris, on the soundtrack it's in the middle of the piece called "Asteroid Chase and the Shuttle Crash". It just makes you think of being high up, looking in to dizzying darkness full of whirling lights... And there's a track on the Day After Tomorrow soundtrack called "Blizzard". It's pretty desolate and creepy too, especially when it fades in to that delicate, haunting melody...
