What's a spooky song you like?

[Swede]

Like Killing Moon by Echo and the Bunnymen. Half-light by Tomandandy is another.

[NoMoreMrNiceGuy]

1. NUMBER 9,NUMBER 9,NUMBER 9....White Album,Revolution No. 9

Its very spooky if you turn out the lights and crank it.

[ClassWarrior]

2. "Spooky."

NGU.

[enigmatic]

3. "No Woman's Flesh But Hers"- Johnny Dowd

Absolutely the best:

[Zuni]

4. "Hellhound on My Trail" or "Me and the Devil Blues"

by Robert Johnson, the delta bluesman

with all the myths about him and his eerie, wailing voice, these songs send a shiver up my spine

[mark414]

5. diary of a madman

by the gravediggaz

[ghostsofgiants]

20. I love that song

That whole album is great.

[bobthedrummer]

6. "Your Spooky Girlfriend"/Elvis Costello, "Spooky"/Classics IV,

"Careful with that axe, Eugene"/Pink Floyd...

[CanuckAmok]

7. "A Short Dip in the Glory Hole" - Nurse With Wound

A musical 'homage' to David Lynch's Eraserhead, and other creepy stuff.

[librechik]

8. Debussy's Nocturne

beautiful but creepy

[RevolutionaryActs]

9. I LOVE Killing Moon.

That is an awesome song. :D

[saltpoint]

10. "She's Not There" by the Zombies &

"Yes, the River Knows" by Jim & the Doors.

[carpetbagger]

11. "Happy Together"

I think it's about a stalker. :scared:

[The Animator]

12. As far as spooky goes...

For me nothing beats Hall of the Mountain King, and Night on Bald Mountain.

Oooh and Thriller.

[tuvor]

13. Rumble, by Link Wray. Get Out of My House by Kate Bush.

[jobycom]

14. Goodnight Moon, Shivaree

[The Animator]

15. Alice Cooper's "Cry Little Sister"

[NMMNG]

16. "I Love the Dead" by Alice Cooper

[thatgemguy]

17. I Put A Spell On You

The Screamin' Jay Hawkins version is a classic, recorded under the influence of Italian Swiss Colony Muscatel.

The Creedence Clearwater Revival version is damn good too!

[SKKY]

18. "The Apple of Sodom" by Marilyn Manson

It's on the "Lost Highway" soundtrack. Gives me chills to this day.

[ghostsofgiants]

19. "End of the Line" by Murder By Death

Their whole album, "Who Will Survive and What Will bBe Left Of Them?" is kinda spooky actually. Has a kinda of Western/Horror-film feel to it.

[iconoclastic cat]

21. "Black Number One" by Type O Negative

one of many.

[Flammable Materials]

22. "Man In The Dark Sedan" - Snakefinger. Also...

"Thorn Of Crowns" - Echo & The Bunnymen
"Spellbound" - Siouxsie & The Banshees
"My Name Is Norman Bates" - Landscape

[ghostsofgiants]

23. "Televators" by The Mars Volta is another good one

Just something about it...

[ok_cpu]

24. "Climbing up the Walls" Radiohead

"The End" The Doors

[ghostsofgiants]

32. "Street Spirit" by Radiohead is pretty spooky too

[dbt]

25. "Edwin" by Steeleye Span!

Album is "Now We Are Six," well worth having.

[Orsino]

26. "When the Spell Is Broken" --Richard Thompson n/t

[Atlas Mugged]

27. 'What's He Doing In There?' - Tom Waits

Hell, about half of Waits' entire catalog can be described as "spooky".

I may be slightly off with the title of that song - in a hurry and can't look it up.

[Phentex]

28. Woman in the Wall by The Beautiful South

[Bridget Burke]

29. "Walk on Gilded Splinters" by Dr John the Nightripper

Although the lyrics aren't original--see the book "Voodoo in New Orleans" for the source. The entire "Gris Gris" album showed Mack Rebennack's acquaintance with the Loas & the Saints; they've appeared time & again in his long career.

"The Werewolf" on "The Moray Eels Eat the Holy Modal Rounders" is truly "haunting"--again, the whole album is a bit deranged.

I'll agree with others that Richard Thompson & Tom Waits can also spin some dark magic.

And--Tibetan monks chanting (with two notes from every throat), accompanying themselves on horns made of human thigh bones & drums made of skulls really are capable of manifesting weirdness. Especially if you hear them live.

[Debbi801]

30. Dead Babies by Alice Cooper and Little Red Riding Hood.

Not sure who sings that one.

Debbi

[hippiechick]

31. Marilyn Manson's remake of Tainted Love

He sounds so .... wounded.

Or Radiohead's 'The Gloaming' (Hail to the Thief) ...

[AntiCoup2K4]

33. "Black Sabbath" by Black Sabbath, from the album "Black Sabbath"

What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me,
Turn 'round quick and start to run,
Find out I'm the chosen one
Oh, No!

Big black shape with eyes of fire,
Telling people their desire
Satan sitting there he's smiling :evilgrin:
Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh, No, No please God help me!

Is it the end, my friend?
Satan's come around the bend,
People running 'cos they're scared
Ya people better go and beware
No! No! Please! No!

[atomic-fly]

34. meninblack by the stranglers

aliens harvesting humans for food....very strange stuff.
of "the Raven" a must have album.

[seemunkee]

35. Satisfaction by The Residents

Scared the Hell out of my kids, they would make me stop playing it when they were little.

[cedahlia]

36. "Jesus Christ Pose" by Soundgarden

Kim Thayil's guitar playing, and Chris Cornell's singing in that song really creeps me out (but in a good way--the song rocks!) It's just disturbing to me for some reason...just the thought of listening to that song, while driving alone, at night, in the middle of nowhere...eeeeeeee! :o

And as you mentioned, "Killing Moon" is a beautifully brilliant, spooky song, indeed. :thumbsup:

***edited for poor spelling!"

37. Wicked Game - Chris Issak - N/T

[OzarkDem]

38. Delia's Gone by Johnny Cash

[neuvocat]
