In the late 80's/early 90's some Detroit tv station had a saturday afternoon horror movie time slot that had this crazy intro which was a montage of clips from various scary movies of the time. The music for this was the fucked up middle part from "Whole lotta love". And like right at the end of the montage, the song builds up to the part where there's that delayed guitar thing right before the "LOOOOUUUVVEE". But just as the crazy guitar thing happens they'd show this clip of a tarantula attacking and im pretty sure thats why im affraid of spiders.

Also, if anyone has ever seen that movie rabid by david cronenberg, at the end of the movie there's this creepy/menacing sounding synth as this bitch gets tossed into the back of a garbage truck. Seeing this as a kid caused me to have horrible nightmares about getting crushed with that synth being the soundtrack.

Haha, me too. Weird. I also got scared by that song "She's a man eater" by ???. The concept of cannibalism was new to me back then.

A mixtape my sister had when I was a kid had the double whammy of Total Eclipse of The Heart followed by Moonlight Shadow. The latter is the creepiest.

Also a 7" that we had when I was about 5 and I heard 15 years later on the radio one morning as I was waking up. The song was called "Father Christmas Do Not Touch Me!" by The Goodies.

I don't recall all of the lyrics but it ended:

Father Christmas do not touch me
Father Christmas do not touch me
Father Christmas do not touch
Father Christmas do not touch
Father Christmas do not
Father Christmas do not
Father Christmas do
Father Christmas do
Father Christmas!
Father Christmas!
Father!
FATHER!

At least I think so. Maybe I imagined all this. Can someone (Adam Rabbit?) verify this? All google tells me is that this song existed.

Having grown up obsessed with arcades and video games (stand-ups, not the home consoles) I was completely geeked for Pac Man, and bought the "Pac Man Christmas" LP. Sounds innocuous, but it's still -- to this day -- one of the creepiest records I own.

After reading the first few posts on this thread I dug it up (kept it for the great cornball cover art) and listened to it. Horrifying. It sounds positively Manson family, pandering, and laden with subliminals that make my skin crawl. A cheap, exploitation record performed by people I like to think could take center stage in a film about the Branch Davidians.

Fuck every song on that record.

The theme song to in 'In Search of' Hosted by Leonard Nimoy.

Made me cry like a baby, i was a baby, still am.

I remember being sorta creeped out by Throbbing Gristle's "Hamburger Lady", Suicide's "Frankie Teardrop" and the Swans' "Holy Money" when I was four or five years old. I don't know why, because when I listen to them today, I'm not disturbed at all. In fact, I'm planning on sharing these songs with my young child whenever he or she comes into the world, just like my parents did with me.

Your parents played you "Frankie Teardrop"?

Hmmm.

Yep. "Watch out boy, she'll chew you up"? Took that literally.

Oh, and that was Hall & Oates. Also known as "Haulin' Oats", to reflect their current occupation.
