Subject: Scariest music

With Halloween approaching us, I thought this would be an appropriate thread.

What is the scariest music you can think of?

The theme to the "Exorcist".


BEAT THAT! It gives me the heeby jeebies every time.

Some of the Scariest Music songs I heard are "Knowhere" by Skinny Puppy and "Bathory Erszebet" by Sunn o))).But many others come to mind as I type...

Some Striborg songs are also claustrophobic and creepy.Twilight, a Lo-fi death metal project is scary as hell (the whole album).It´s like being trapped in a burning maze on the sewers of hell.

Also, for a long and slow nightmare listen to Pentemple (A Sunn o))) related project).There is even a exorcist hint on that one, because the tracks are called "Pazuzu 1" and "Pazuzu 2".

The Swans live album "Public Castration is a good Idea" is also very creepy.But not in a "boo" way.It scares when I imagine being on one of those venues.it seems that music made for sacrifices/rituals...

Experiment in terror ...Henry Mancini

The theme from the Munsters...(Hey I was a kid when that came out)

and anything Madonna does scares the hell out of me!!

Well, there is that and there is my Villain Theme www.macjams.com/song/41997. Five_extra_arms is planning to use it in his neighborhood to scare the brats out of their skin. Feel free to do the same, everyone ;-)

Any other scary tracks here at MJ?

Take care!

Psychic TV's 'Dreams less sweet' in 'holophonic" sound ( 3d sound) is a bit mad on headphones.
Throbbing gristle.
The soundtrack to The Evil Dead 2 has some mad sounds on it.

If anyone ever played the Diablo computer game series, there was some pretty amazing and well done dissonant music for the soundtrack. Also the section when you are in the town above ground has a wonderful and lonely/erie acoustic guitar awash in deley. Awsome stuff.

Found a link to the Diablo music written by a guy names Matt Uelmen I think.

Also, Alice In Chain "Dirt" is pretty scary and depressing when taken in context of heroin addiction.

Bartok - the Miraculous Mandarin
Goblin - suspiria soundtrack
Jandek - You painted your teeth

Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima - Krzysztof Penderecki

Death Valley 69 - Sonic Youth extreme mental disturb and well done. Its also a mentally deranged duet.
See it here on youtube

Anything by Michael Bolton leaves me cringing in horror

Check out Trent Reznor's music for the original Quake Game Soundtrack. Seriously disturbing atmospheres.

Yeah, Mike Oldfield did a great job of scaring people, but I think rschletty is even scarier.....

there was an old 60's or 70's song that went yummy yummy yummy I got love in my tummy that scared the poop right through me

These are on the suspense/creepy side:

Bad Loops Get Beat 15x

Decoherence

I'm so happy someone mentioned Throbbing Gristle..... great stuff

I'm going to have to throw in "No Quarter" by Led Zeppelin.....very moody/spooky tune.

I still like the simple but effective creepy, suspense bound, heebee jeebies of John Carpenters appropriately named "Halloween" theme:

this is a great version imo of the traditional folk song "Henry Martin" that also gives me the heebeegeebees, by Figgy Duff (featured on that Canadian Mounty series "Due South" if I recall):

fantomas - rosemary's baby

when isn't Mike Patton being creepy and spooky??

however he is pure genius!
