Creepy/Gothic Prog Albums?

Ooh ohh.. Witches too.. Like Drag Ropes.

The Glass Hammer album "Perilous" is very dark & Gothic!  

For creepy horror-soundtrack type prog:

^ Having read the OP a bit more thoroughly I am going to have to say none of my recommendations are really on-topic, as none of it sounds much like Steven Wilson.

Maybe Vanden Plas' last two releases, particularly for the lyrical content.. It's more metal that SW/PT but you might still like it.

Current 93,  All the Pretty Little Horses

Dark and gothic with apocalyptic themes...that´s Saviour Machine

Edison's Children "The Final Breath Before November" is really wonderful. It's suposedly about the true experience of one of the members with a ghost.

IQ's "The Road of Bones" is also wonderful. That's the story of a serial Killer.

Also the Italian's Unreal City album, "La Crudelta di Aprile"... don't understand what it's about, for it's in italian, but what I gather from the song titles, it seems to have some creepy themes.

Now, those are some of the new albums that have been very apreciated this last few years. Talking about italians, I could add another pair from the 70's that I love.

Metamorphosis "Inferno", which is about Dante's book. Lot's of organ-like keyboards (though mostly obviously synths), and powerful almost operatic vocals.

Il Balleto Di Bronzo's "YS"... don't know exactly what it's about, but it's obviously creepy... some sort of horror story, perhaps ghosts or something.

Surely some of the RPI fans on this site could come up with some other wonderful creepy italian albums.

And in case you might not know this other ones, you should absolutley check out Rick Wakemans song "Judas Iscariot", full of church organ and haunting choirs, spine chilling song indeed. And some of early Pink Floyd, mostly Ummagumma (both studio and live discs, though I do prefer the live one), and the video "Live in Pompeii". You might want to start with the song "Careful with that Axe, Eugene", if you don't know it yet (just put it in the night, turn off the lights, and put the volume as loud as you dare).

before they flood you with avant/experimental/zeuhl stuff, try something listenable first:

Disicpline. "Unfolded Like Staircase" (any would do though)

and

Anekdoten "Vemod" (any would do though[2])

You welcome!

I do love Darkness, but I'm not sure how dark it actually is... well, I guess dark enough... at least as dark as some of the stuff I recomended myself... really wonderful song though. Tubular bells, though, doesn't sound very dark at all... except perhaps the exorcist part, specially if you relate it to the movie, I guess (thankfully, I haven't seen the movie and don't intend to)... however, the rest of the album is absolutley beautiful and bright... plus, I understand Oldfield himself never intended it to be dark or anything of the sort.
