That reminds me, my college roommate and I had a couple of girls over, and we fell asleep to Ummagumma.  One of the girls the next day said she nearly had a heart attack when that scream came out of nowhere. LOL


hahaha yeah, Several Species Of Small Furry Animals was scary to me as a kid too, but in a more disturbing, demented way

That horrible, horrible voice in the "musique concrete" section of Peter Hammill's "Gog/Magog (In Bromine Chambers)."

Black Sabbath from Black Sabbath. I realize alot of people find it funny or corny. I heard it in the seventies and it really scared the crap out of me.
Some of the Goblin stuff I find extremely creepy. Profundo Russo, Witch, Suspiria...

Who dares find it funny or corny? That song is the epitome of metal and that riff is pure evil.I think it makes sense that that song could scare someone, the trichord used to be banned by the church because it was the "devil's chord"

That's scared the crap out of you? Confused It's certainly chilling in a moody way, but scary, ... .


Read  this: "makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up".

 it didn't scare the crap out of me read above^^^^

Uh...read your thread title.


 i know about my thread but that was the only thing i could think of at the time

So do a lot of other people, so it's a kind of a common courtesy (if you will) to give others a chance to attract some bees to their honey and get some responses. Plus, creating threads and polls can potentially push other interesting threads and polls out of the recent posts list at the bottom of the forum home page, potentially drive them into an oblivion, and shift the focus of the forum's members from those other interesting threads and polls.


that's exactly what this site is about^^^^

LOL. 
For me though, Univers Zero's 'Heresie' album.  When I bought this LP I constantly listened to it and, seriously, after the 7th listen, I started having nightmares !!!  Honest. Shub Niggurath's 'Les Mort vont Vite' is also pretty scary.

Matthew Gregory Lewis "The Monk" - an interesting read.... thanks Moshkito... brrrr....


I was shaken by the end of Vengeance's debut album which isjust screaming like someone in hell burning. We played it at youth group really loud at a camp, through the camp's loud speakers, and got in huge trouble by the leaders.

I agree that the ULLAAAAAAAAAAA on Jeff Waynes War of the Worlds chills you to the bone.


I also jumped out of my skin the first time I heard the opening glass crashing sounds on Gentle Giants In a Glass House album. I had the heaphones on maximum and the glass crashes pierced a hole in my brain.

When I first heard Suicide's Frankie Teardrop I was chilled to the bone.

 Also was scared with the Scott Walker "The Drift" album esp when the donkey sounds like its being mutilated... cant listen to that at all now.
Listen to these chillers with the lights off alone

Not prog but:
Lastly, I was in the kitchen one night and wanted some music so pressed play and didnt realise my kids had left in the CD player a child's CCD by The Wiggles and at piercing volume I heard them shout "Hi! We're The Wiggles! Want to have some fun?" and I jumped clean out of my socks, you had to peel me from the ceiling.

At the end of Pink Floyd's "Grantchester Meadows" when the fly gets swatted. That made me jump one time... that's all I can really think of. Though sometimes when I listen to music at night time, I can get a little creeped out. 

Edit: One time I fell asleep while listening to Comus - First Utterance on repeat. I woke up in the the middle of the night to the sounds of "I'll be gentle... I'll be gentle... I'll be gentle". That scared the living sh*t outta me.LOL

I know the feeling. I remember three years ago listening to KC's "Lizard - Big Top", with the crazy Mellotron having its pitch raised higher and higher and higher, as well as to the end of Roxy Music's "For Your Pleasure", with Judi Dench saying "Don't ask why. You don't ask why." Been listening to those in my head at night. Turned me into a baby.

I forgot this one too by Scott Walker. Listen on headphones- when it gets to the part where they are punching the meat I get goosebumps.

ooh another good one I just remembered, the first time I heard the whisper in Great Gig In The Sky.. Man that was creepy  I was listening to it with headphones but because I was so used to the song I didn't even realize it was the music at first and started freaking out lol

The most frightening song I've ever heard has to be "An Escape" by Scott Walker. I never watched the LooneyToons the same again.

That's not the one where it sounds like Donald Duck getting strangled, is it?

"One Of These Days" by Pink Floyd creeped me out when I was much younger (and high)!  Smoke
