Songs that scared you?

[Trevor]

Strange one this, but so am I. 

When I was about five, some friends of mine introduced me to stereo sound by having me sit between speakers and putting The Moody Blues' album Every Good Boy Deserves Favour on the turntable, starting with the first track "Procession".

They also turned the lights off. 

Within two minutes, I was yelling in fear and screaming for the thing to be put off and the lights to be put back on.

Nah, don't feel bad, Trevor.

D.O.A. by Bloodrock was a big hit when I was very young. That thing scared me in the middle of the day, and if I heard it playing at night, I'd start crying and screaming.  I like it now, but find it very uncomfortable to sit in a dark room and listen to it to this very day.

The Eagles' Hotel California was another one ~ that final line....

Anything by Lady Gaga scares me to death 

I used to freak out a bit at the opening of Parliament's The Electric Spanking of War Babies. Those electronic voices just sounded creepy to me.

I remember being kind of freaked out as a kid by War's Slippin' Into Darkness. I think I must have heard the song shortly after seeing The Omega Man on TV (which also scared me as a kid), because I seem to associate it with the albino mutants from the movie. Weird.

Well, not me, but my sister was creeped out as a little kid by the song "The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia", where the brother finds Andy lying on the floor in a puddle of blood.

My wife and daughter are big country music fans, and both of them really like Big & Rich. I find some of their songs strangely appealing, but also a bit on the scary side. They spook me for some reason; there is something in their harmonies and note progressions that jumps on my creep-out nerves and won't get off.

I've just seen your "Crazy Rabbitty Thingy" Derf ~ thanks for the 

The one song that always chills me from the Country and Western stable (no pun intended) is Johnny Cash's When The Man Comes Around. I first heard that on the end credits of William Friedkin's The Hunted.

This song creeped me out when I was a little kid.  Not so much anymore, but I still like it.

I thought this one was creepy too as a kid.  I couldn't get enough of the show then, and I still love it now.

I listen to Danse Macabre every October, and also have it on 78 wax to play on my Victrola (don't use it much).  Good ones!  Music I have in my own collection, loved as a kid, but never found "scary".  I have a nice CD of CAMILLE SAINT-SAENS (with that annoyingly difficult to pronounce name) that includes Danse Macabre and the Les Carnaval des Animaux.  

Can't think of any music that ever "scared" me...

[Paquita]

Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight, but probably less because the song is scary and more because the video is so creepy.

[Trevor]

Not the song but the video of The Human League's Mirror Man which features actual footage of an attempt at breaking a water speed record and the boat disintegrates, killing the pilot. 

Ultravox's eerie Vienna song and video still chills me to this day, despite me knowing now that the song and video were inspired by The Third Man.

The final line in Kim Wilde's Cambodia ~ "she will see his face again" ~ always gives me goosies. 

[lester1/2jr]

theres a childrens song that goes "there was an old woman that lives down the road...oooooooh"  I did not like that s**t
