Suggest some scary, suspenseful, and/or creepy song's for my friends NHSEE experiment

[Kermitu Kleric Katie]

I have a friend in my Chemistry class who's experiment involves using music of this sort, and I've been suggesting some songs for him(I've already suggested Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor", Pokemon's "Lavender Town" and "Pokemon Tower", and FFIX's "The Final Battle"), and I want to hear some suggestions from you for what I should suggest to him as well.

You already have my first two picks on that list. Lavender Town ftw.

I recall a song by Tori Amos called Bonnie & Clyde that was somewhat disturbing...

 

[Keveh Kins]

X-Files theme, You Can Hear the Cry of the Planet from FFVII, Abandoned Pit and Door of Holy Spirits from the Symphony of the Night Soundtrack.

I also find the music that plays in Red Dead Redemption when you're tooterin' around Tall Trees at night quite eerie, but as far as I know it's not on the soundtrack in the same way it's used in the game

[JBedford]

I hope these are the kind of things you are looking for. Most are dark ambient.

[TimeSplitters Future Perfect] Graeme Norgate - Mansion of Madness

Advent Children - The Great North Cave

FFIX - Iifa Tree

FFVIII - Compression Of Time

Delerium - Twilight Rituals; Tundra; Strangeways; Sorrow; Rise Above; Morpheus; Lost Passion; Inside The Chamber; Faith

Labradford - Slidling Glass; Phantom Channel Crossing; Listening In Depth

Sigur Ros - Sigur Ros

Manufactura - Indignant Imprints Of Time

The Crazy Bus theme tune. It is the sound of madness.itself.

 

[Teioh]

Probably my favourite creepy game music of all time. BoF IV has a few dark tracks but this one stands out since it takes me right back to that part of the game. Also this one (it's been a while since I played the game but I think this is from the final dungeon/area):

 

[Lex]

No one going to mention the Silent Hill 2 soundtrack?

 

[Tetsujin]

Definitely this imo. Beautiful and haunting.

 

[Mage]

I found the music from the Shinra Mansion quite creepy. Maybe just me?

Ooh ooh, My Ruin - Beware of God (Speak and Destroy album).

Kev mentioned the X Files theme, I'm gonna expand on that with Mark Snow in general. He has a knack for making spine-chilling themes.

 

[SoulReaper]

Suicide - Frankie Teardrop

It's already creepily brooding and unsettling but when that 'part' comes up and you weren't ready for it, it's a real heartstopper.

[Drax]

Resident Evil Director's Cut--Laboratory B3 [Computers and the Morgue]

Resident Evil 0--Training Facility Main Hall

Resident Evil (Gamecube)--Macabre Hallway

 

[Interslicery]

Say what you want about the movies (they're shit) but this song always unnerves me.

 

[Kai Schulen]

This song.

 

[Mage]

Oh hell, how has no-one mentioned Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells? The whole album is great BTW, good atmospheric stuff.

 

[SoulReaper]

Cool album, far from creepy though. The grunts part is quite silly.

I's say early The Residents is quite creepy music, besides being weird as fuck. As for some of their songs? I'd say Sinister Exaggerator, Infant Tango, Ships'a' Going Down, The Festival Of Death or Hello Sknny.

 

[Keveh Kins]

Methinks the problem with Tubular Bells and the X-Files theme and stuff like that is that they're so well recognised in pop culture now that the creepiness aspect is kinda dulled a bit. Still creepy as hell, but there's also an element of "Oooh that song!"

 

[Kermitu Kleric Katie]

Thanks for the suggestions so far guys. Btw, he apparently also needs calming music, so if you guys could suggest calming songs too that'd be great.

 

[Keveh Kins]

Riverside by Agnes Obel, mega soothing

 

[Mage]

Ah, calming songs. The Sensual World by Kate Bush (just don't listen to the lyrics, lawls), the Twin Peaks theme tune...actually these were on a compilation CD I had called Into the Blue, it was brilliant. Like a twat I gave it away.

Oi oi - http://www.discogs.com/Various-Into-The-Blue-36-Atmospheric-Tracks/release/1862374 Ah, Martha's Harbour, love that song.
Not all of it is calming BTW.

 

[Octo]

Lujon by Henry Mancini

An Ending (Ascent) by Brian Eno

Clowns by Goldfrapp

 

[Cthulhu]

Calming, hmm, how does one calm?

Maybe something ambient by

Spoiler: The American Dollar

? Or if you like something moar gloomy and depressing,

Spoiler: Bohren & der Club of Gore

. For kicks, .

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

What if you find creepy songs such as Lavender Town soothing in and of themselves though?
