When I was a kid, this song always scared me.  Still loved it though.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCYIX5Nw69w edit: I was going to not snipe, but it feels wrong to not snipe

That fist time playing Silent Hill in complete darkness with the glow of the TV as the only light source back in 1999 as you venture into the other school and this starts playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9KePZk32Es Goosebumps.

Idk about scary, but this piece by Ligety creates a very uneasy atmosphere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcx-4olgf10 Webern is also great for creating that kinda vibe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq2gwuKDPnY

flubber nuts posted:some of that aphex twins music is sort of spooky like the grass and the trees. Nice, I like how direct this one is. It's definitely going for "scary" first and foremost instead of something like existential dread or "let's explore the dark side of humanity" or some such.

A different definition of "scary" perhaps, but anyone who fell asleep to Nevermind in the 90s got the poo poo scared out of them by Endless/Nameless

Sourdough Sam posted:Anything by the late Krzysztof Penderecki makes me pretty spooked. If you've seen The Shining, you've heard these, but not in their entirety. His compositions tend to get more unsettling the longer you listen. Bloodborne soundtrack got nothing on Penderecki

Not that it took much to freak out Brian Wilson, but one of the reasons Smile was scrapped is because he thought Fire was actually causing fires. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emETVsG4Mbo When Wilson revisited Smile 40 years later, he reworked the track. It's not as siren-y or uneasy as the original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lky8rQrqRZg

I love uneasy listening music especially the Penderecki stuff I think some of the BBC Radiophonic workshop and Delia Derbyshire's stuff was also truly groundbreaking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig5QX9a3bQg&t=201s here's some ambient/drone/noise stuff I made about 20 years back - it's more spooky/atmospheric than scary: https://setmusic1.bandcamp.com/ 1000 Sweaty Rikers fucked around with this message at 10:38 on Jan 21, 2023 |

I dig on Yithian Prophecy - it's Lovecraftian-inspired dark ambient that for me hits something more primordial and resonating than most other of the style. This is one of my favorites, just the pitiless universe across eons of time being utterly indifferent to human suffering - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feLjpSoe4AE This one is pretty rad and deeply unsettling too - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJVbSbGCZWQ

A lot of folk have mentioned Aphex twin, and while Come to Daddy is certainly one of the more well-known of his pieces, I always preferred this remix.

While I wouldn't really define UNKLE's "Safe In Mind" as scary, it is very menacing. If you close your eyes and listen to the beginning, it sounds like the music for a trap-filled murder dungeon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYJaEaQlxJk I discovered Tobacco a few years ago while watching Eric Warheim-made videos and the video for "Streaker" fits the definition. This video is a carousel from "Silent Hill" jerking and lurching and covered in gore. While broken speakers emit odd noises, the carousel turns slowly. EVERYTHING has an oily sheen. There are multiple gross naked people having sex on it. I really feel that Eric should have directed horror films, as the guy has an eye for disturbing imagery. The best way that I would describe Tobacco's music is "Music for Movie Serial Killers" or "let's watch this black spine VHS with no label and could possibly be a snuff film". NSFW for nudity! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV7VNhzFLOQ El Diablo Bob O fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Jan 21, 2023 |

Silent Hill 2 Soundtrack. Dirge - Death in Vegas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXHjo826R2k With its original video, of gun deaths of a random day from the 70s/80s, it can slowly build up the fear and sadness in you. Winx - Don't Laugh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWaZhnwdTio VVVV. Well to be honest, Looney Tunes or Scooby Doo probably made that song more comedical that it should be these days. happyhippy fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Jan 21, 2023 |

XYZAB posted:Historically speaking, you could not be more incorrect. i mean, the piece was used in a bunch of early horror movies because it's dramatic and gothic sounding and came to be associated with those things in 20th century pop culture, but i don't think it was written to be "scary" by bach, nor was it really considered "scary" music by most of its audience until that association developed, much later on, but which is now so cliche as to become corny and thus no longer scary. so yes there was a relatively brief period of the piece's history when it was associated generally with dark themes, but i dont think the piece itself really scared many people. although i was certainly very nervous when i performed it in front of my whole school in 6th grade! quote:I guess you could also say the same thing about this guy's pop music album, then: manson is a scary figure because of the murders he committed, not because of the music he wrote, which isn't particularly scary at all. if you heard one of those tunes without knowing who wrote it, nothing about it would scare you. also, bach wasn't a murderer so im confused about what kind of point you are trying to make here Earwicker fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Jan 21, 2023 |

Tran-Siberian Orchestra's Carol of the Bells has always unnerved the hell out of me. I used to listen to the radio to fall asleep as a kid so the first time I ever heard this song was dead in the middle of the night. I was probably 8? I don't know. Even as an adult listening to it fills me with dread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6FhOb7-1dg Admittedly, I'm also a huge baby. I like some Rammstein stuff but most of it kind of freaks me out. Which is a shame because they are super cool guys and I love the stuff they do for their concerts

Mike Patton's always been good for this kind of stuff, whether his voice or his writing; Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz by Mr. Bungle, and Delirium Cordia by Fantomas show off entirely different angles. Delirium Cordia was his attempt to replicate the feeling of surgery without anesthesia in musical format. Also this track by Tobacco, directed by Eric from Tim and Eric. NSFW. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV7VNhzFLOQ

Ethel Cain's Ptolemea is pretty loving scary, even divorced from the context of the rest of the album, which tells the story of a girl running away from her conservative, baptist family and her eventual kidnapping and murder by her boyfriend. Ptolemea is basically the song of her murder It is a song that benefits strongly from headphones but volume warning for 4:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VmFiiDedU0 Preacher's Daughter is an incredible album but it deals with some pretty heavy stuff so content warning for familial abuse, murder and uh, cannibalism. edit:WHOOPS someone already posted Ptolemea one page back  should have done more the skim the previous pages. Anyway, take this as another recommendation for Preacher's Daughter if you're still on the fence
