I want to download some scary songs. And don't go and say "Creed" or "Nickleback" either because I already know their stuff is unbearably horrible. I want some good, scary shit. (Yes, this is a ripoff of the thread at the pixies website. This forum kicks their forum's ass! HA! But this was a good topic...)
Some that I find disturbing are:
The Cure - Pornography, The Figurehead
MK Ultra - That Strange Flower the Sun (Here's the link to download it for free... http://johnvanderslice.com/mp3sjv/MK.Ultra_Strange.Flower.mp3 )
I've heard that Joy Division's early stuff is pretty freaky, so I'm going to get "Closer" tonight.

BiGod 20's industrial cover of Madonna's "Like A Prayer" is creepy, but in a sideways kind of fashion.

Pere Ubu have lots of unnerving songs. 'Codex' for example. The melody is beautiful, so simple, but the lyrics and the backing vocals give it a very unsettling tone. Great song. |

Johnny Horton - 'Some niggers never die', and 'I hate niggers'
Those songs do have quite a happy melody, but the lyrics make them kind of sickening
I'm bored with the valleys and bored by the peaks. So I bought a ticket to the Pixies |

I was gonna say subway song. Like turn it up loud. But kind of a gimmic.
Smiths made me think of Reel Around the Fountain, which would be Michael Jackson's favorite Morrissey number.

There's a band called Dimmu Borgir... and I bought a CD of theirs called Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia. The whole frikkin' thing is just flat out creepy. I'm gonna mail it to the guy that recommended it. I think mebbe it belongs with him instead of me. *SHUDDER*

I couldn't agree more. I have everything that Foetus has ever done. Jim's a fucking genius!! The 'Hole' and 'Nail' albums contain pretty scary songs too. Awesome stuff.

Cash's version of "Hurt" isn't really scary, it's just really really really really really depressing. It's more depressing then Trent Reznor ever dreamed possible.
In my defense... I'm just sayin' |

His version of 'Hurt' gave me goosebumps. Especially the ending. The microphone kinda crackles a bit. Eeeeeee..

I used to find TMBG's "Boat Of Car" to be kind of creepy, but I think I'm the only one. Probably mostly just because I heard it in a nightmare once. Besides, that's more of an "eerie" scary than a "monster party" scary.

"deiche" by the sex gang children is the freakiest song i've ever listened to. "night shift" by siouxsie and the banshees and "incubus(blue suit)" by the tuxedo moon are two songs that kind of freak me out too. maybe even "i hate you" by the christian death and klaus nomi in general ("3 wishes" in particular).

Yeah, but he's been doing this for far before the Pixies were around. They both have similar inspirations - Man Ray, Buñuel, Dadaists, Surealists, etc, who took their cues from the earlier periods/artists. How incestuous!

It's basically a lot of sepia-toned imagery based on Joel-Peter Witkin's photography, which is in turn based on a lot of Flemish/Dutch school and Renaissance/other era paintings. Some fetishistic images, some (for the mainstream at the time) "freakish" circumstances, bugs, dead things. Pretty tame actually. It was a beautiful video though.
Here's some of Witkin's art:
http://www.zonezero.com/exposiciones/fotografos/witkin/jpwdefault.html
I have a cut-out of one of his photographs (cadaver of a man without his head) in a scuplture on my site: www.discordis.com (the sculpture went through a beating, and is missing a bunch of parts, it should be revived soon though, hehe - no pun intended, but I'll go with it anyway ;))
