As mentioned, a lot of the Beatles stuff like Revolution 9, the ending of Strawberry Fields and A Day in the Life
The vocals in the middle of Proclamation


I'm not alone!! yes. The eerie Mellotron at the end of Strawberry Fields' freak the hell out of me as well.
There was a time where I found it unlistenable and I would slam on the fast-forward button on my Ghetto Blaster ASAP.

They're not here in PA but I believe they should be - anyway, for some reason Edgar Broughton Band's self titled third album scared me - love it though.

This is the creepiest stuff I know of. It's by CURRENT 93.

The whole album is like this. total Exorcist material.

Yep. Me too. Speaking of the Beatles I would add Helter Skelter from the White Album especially the part where it fades and then comes back and Ringo yells "I've got blisters on my fingers"(which for the longest time I always thought was John). Also from the White album I will mention Revolution 9 including the part that seques into it with the "take me back where I came from" part which is technically at the end of Cry Baby Cry. Also, "wild honey pie" which I also thought was very creepy and weird. Not sure what else but there might be some other moments by the Beatles I am forgetting.


Ah yes! Those are all strange, uneasy sequences as well. That Ringo one is pretty freaky. I do remember that.
Boy....the acid minds if the Beatles.
Well I actually thought of something by the Beatles that tops all of those in the creepy/weird/scarey department and it's not even from the White album. I'm referring to that last part that comes after "A day in the life" and is in the groove that ends Sgt. Peppers. Apparently it says "never could see any other way."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaXnqw-Zv0Y


That is creepy. I'm thinking 'The Shinning' where Jack Torrence discovers the rotting dead woman in the bathtub and then she precedes to walk after him. That's what it makes me think of.
Nice work man. Have anymore? Don't mean to sound creedy but these can all really work in a horror setting.

I've never had the crap scared out of me, period I've never had  even the tiniest faecal discharge soil my nappy due to fright -- at least that I recall.  That music would actually make people soil their pants in terror is rather odd to me, although I do believe that music can have a laxative effect  The brown note if used on a global scale purportedly has the potential to create an excremental flood of almost biblical proportions.  Has anyone here piddled themselves when looking at an album cover?  Now that I think a reasonable reaction to certain artwork. I think the closest I've come to browning my trousers was while listening to Geddy Lee's shrill singing.  His timbre can be rather bowel moving.

I can't say any music has ever scared me maybe because I really like dark, haunting tunes from time to time. I will say though that I find Comus' First Utterance to be quite disturbing. Not scary but it's the closest thing to fear i've ever heard.

Some Univers Zero stuff scared the crap out of me, fortunately I was also on the toilet at the time so I guess that doesn't count, does it?  Wacko

Scariest Rush songs imo:

By tor and the snowdog
The Necromancer
Cygnus X-1
Hemispheres title track(because of the section towards the end)


Porcupine Tree: about the fourth or fifth track in on Stupid Dream there's this weird robot voice. I don't remember the name of the song though.

Yes: Gates of delirium (middle section). Also the ancient(always thought the beginning part was kind of spooky)

Genesis: the waiting room; the knife

PF: much of the studio tracks on ummagumma and parts of the atom heart mother suite

It's not that part that gets me.  It's the slow, unaccompanied guitar strums after it.  Chills me to the freakin' bone.
