How about the mid section of Echoes by Pink Floyd, The Waiting Room by Genesis... Elephant Talk always came off sorta creepy to me... But also Climbing up the Walls by Radiohead.

Agree with those who have mentioned Deil Doll and Morte Macabre.
Surprised noone has mentioned Atomic Rooster or Il Balleto Di Bronzo's album Ys yet.
Also Michael Mantler's The Hapless Child and Standarte's Curses and Invocations.

I heard a goblin tune that was more like Funk than anything, but I guess i have a lot more to explore. |
GOBLIN's "Roller" does have a funky sound, but for shivers listen to their -- in my opinion more exciting -- album "Suspiria" which has some very creepy music on it. Not surprising, as the album is the soundtrack to Dario Argento's 1977 classic horror flick of the same name. Listening on headphones is especially creepy.

I don't really buy the whole "itiallian prog" or "krautrock" labels. I think they are bullsh*t. |
I don't really get the Italian prog thing myself but I think some of the creepiest music comes from Germany in the early 70s:
Klopzeichen and Osterei by Kluster,
Irrlicht and Cyborg by Klaus Schulze,
In Den Garten Pharaos by Popol Vuh,
anything by Tangerine Dream up to and including Sorcerer (a particularly creepy album).

Though I'm not an expert on the subject, if I have to think of creepy prog my mind goes inevitably to Comus' "First Utterance" - cover included. I also agree with "Careful With that Axe, Eugene" (the version in the Live at Pompeii DVD sure is scary!), and Deep Purple's "Child in Time", which was used as part of the soundtrack of one of the most disturbing yet mesmerising films I've ever seen - Lars Von Trier's "Breaking the Waves".

The creepiest song I know is The Devil's Triangle by KC. Univers Zéro's
La Corne du Bois des Pendus (on Ceux du Dehors) is pretty creepy aswell.

Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

VdGG is a good suggestion - particularly Godbluff I think.
Some of Peter Hammill's solo work contains distinctly creepy material - the song Fogwalking on A Black Box is one of the creepiest ever recorded.
The heavy metal genre is full of bands that want to creep you out, though it doesn't usually work for me. If that's an area you're willing to look at, you could do worse than hear Celtic Frosts's recent album Monotheist, a bit of an epic of bleakness and spiritual despair.

Gnidrolog's first release is pretty creepy.
Long live... long live... long live... MAN DEAD...!
Several VDGG songs also is kinda scary at times.

Well, I didn't see them mentioned (in fact, haven't seen them mentioned anywhere on the forum yet) but any early music from the Residents is pretty creepy. And, I think, Prog as well. Give Fingerprince a listen.
Along the same lines, Renaldo & the Loaf. Sort of silly and creepy all at once.

Of course! Albums "Disco Volante" and "California".
Always weird stuff coming from Mike Patton's projeckts.
And some King Crimson is weird.

Agh, you beat me to it.
Disco Volante is some of the creepiest music ever, gauranteed.
I find 'A Passion Play' pretty weird and unnerving. Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts, Still Life... Peter Hammill solo, obvious stuff.

'Careful with that axe Eugene' by Pink Floyd that's creepy and menacing. My six year old daughter ran out of the room!

Well maybe not Prog, at least they are not on the Archives, but I always felt that Child In Time by Deep Purple was pretty Creepy.
