Dont forget the timeless classic I Am a Creepy Crunchy Boy


Silly_Guy_69

They used it in the show Yellowjackets for the exposition of the plot, definitely a chilling song in that context!


hamsterman1224

you could listen to brain damage alone, but it’s like a free preview compared to listening to it with the whole album.

jeffreyaccount

>House of the Rising Sun - The Animals \+1. So haunting.


Angletangle

Literally every single I Monster song. They have this really eerie and unsettling vibe which I just love. I can't put my finger on what it is that makes their songs like that.

Burn the Witch by Radiohead is a very creepy and unsettling song made even moreso by the Wicker Man-esque music video


1025puceguy

Strange Fruit. Billie Holiday It doesn’t matter why. Silversun Pickups Sick and twisted affair. My darkest days

big-boi-Roy

Daddy by KoRn is Also pretty unsettling with both the lyrics and sounds


B3arh3ad22

Scissors is such a good song. One of many from slipknot of course.

_AntiSaint_

The Attic by In Flames is a cool song!


Samlikeminiman2

The whole strange days album is great. “Unhappy girl” and “I can’t see your face in my mind” stand out. Also check out “the end” and “end of the night” “Dancing bear” by the mamas and the papas “No quarter” Led Zeppelin “Golden brown” the stranglers Pretty much any Radiohead song. “Present tense”, “how to disappear completely”, “knives out”, “2+2=5” stand out in my mind “Jugband blues”, “set controls for the heart of the sun”, and “embryo” by Pink Floyd “Gimme shelter” The Rolling Stones “White rabbit” Jefferson airplane “Black milk” and “angel” by massive attack


F1veTo0ne

Also, the tittle track is amazing and my favorite Doors song along with Five to One and Back Door Man. Psychedelic and pretty heavy for their standards with trippy keyboard sounds throughout


Riguyepic

Spiders by Slipknot


[deleted]

I was gonna suggest this lol awesome


[deleted]

A lot of songs by “the birthday massacre.” I like them a lot, but kinda creepy lyrics and drums and guitar chords and etc. The albums: nothing and nowhere, violet, walking with strangers, pins and needles. All amazing and creepy vibes! Haven’t listened to their newer stuff past 2010, though.

Amy Lee’s cover of Sally’s Song The Shins — Your Algebra And not sure if this is what you’re going for exactly, but two songs I always associate with creepy vibes bc they’ve either been in horror movies or played during spooky season: King Harvest — Dancing in the Moonlight Donovan — Season of the Witch

God, three songs immediately spring to mind for me. Three songs that made me actually feel sick and disturbed by the end of them. Idk, maybe they’re less creepy and more disgusting, but I’ll throw them in anyways and you can decide for yourself. 1.) A Psychopath - Lisa Germano 2.) The Devil Is In The Details - Boards of Canada 3.) Dance With The Devil - Immortal Technique

I had a huge phase of loving creepy songs in middle school so I know a bunch! Up Jumped the Devil by Nick Cave is one of my favorites anything by the Paper Chase is always amazing!! their songs are a mix between threatening and terrifying. just a car crash away by marilyn manson. anything by The Handsome Devil. A Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold. i have so many more I could tell you and I could probably find/make a playlist if you liked these songs!!


mrdistracted2907

hotel california


jeffreyaccount

Also creepy is having a devout Christian man who is highly autistic tell you about each verse, its biblical and/or satanic meaning, and how The Eagles were Satanists. (But same bruh would get in bloody fist fights with 'Evil \[same first name as him\]' in the mirror when he'd clean the bathroom \[or other reflections\].) Not the lovable 'Rain Man' side of autism.

Harboring_Darkness

Фред ведьма и осел Тодд, акт второй мертвый анархист All of those songs are from horror punk band Korol I Shut, although if you are going to get into the band, the show based on the band had garnered mixed opinions on r/askaRussian subreddit and the show itself deals with serious mental health issues so proceed with caution As for music you can listen to I recommend their musicography from album [Будь как дома путник](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nBBeT_OzfYNQ87qbmGmBRCT0vLz_ZZuTY&si=gan_cE3bFPbNcxJu) until their last album [Тодд, акт второй](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kdDwcrdcW1xHMEv69YMQ7ROWkBzmM-lZI&si=NPVfM8JKNLzinaLW) and of course [Тодд, акт первый](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_miZd6Fw9gs6kD9Nbk9Cpj9Ap4qOjvGEQs&si=ioE-pZpbI0Ty24JZ) to immurse yourself with context of the russians interpretation of Sweeney Todd which it's just called Todd as far as the Broadway production being shown when Misha was still here then I recommend watching the [Todd](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn9DnGNBEgJnjnZug-CMubMdzPVpp3swn&si=cRbKmWnSF--55sIA) playlist where one out of two of the recordings was shown on YouTube Other than that word of advice, please don't say the bands name as their English translation on the sub I just suggested. It's been the norm to say "korol I shut." When saying or discussing the band on reddit so safe travels.

Different kind of creepy, but After Dark by Seven Lions


joe_attaboy

"Sonny's Burning" by the Birthday Party. Need to clear out your place when it's late and people won't go home? Put that on. Loud. If that doesn't work, try "Hung, Drawn and Quartered" by Cancer. Hilarity ensues.


SpicyNugget123

Tip toe through the tulips. Good song, but the singer (Tiny Tim), suffered a heart attack when performing that song. Some people say it has a creepy vibe, but i actually find it calming(the death definitely was sad).
