These are all very compelling and interesting, but I have a few that you missed: 1. Tool, "Sober" - I could have easily picked almost any of this band's videos, but "Sober" was the first one I'd ever seen. It's a dark and foreboding animated exploration of insanity and depression, which still creeps me out today. 2. The Prodigy, "Smack My Bitch Up" - The title alone reeks of controversy, but it is tame in comparison to the music video. It's a first-person perspective of a psychotic fever dream, complete with alcohol, drugs, vomiting, partying, and physical abuse of both men and women. By the end, you hate looking through these eyes, only to realize you can't look away. The payoff at the end (which I will not spoil) will leave a mark on you, and you may want to take a shower after watching it. 3. Eminem, "Stan" - This song and video about an obsessed Eminem fan is a modern classic. It is a now too familiar tale of celebrity stalking gone too far. It is haunting, it is disturbing, and Eminem's epiphany at the end is an absolute shocker. This song has become so ubiquitous, the term "stan" is now in the OED, defined as "an overzealous or obsessive fan of a particular celebrity". 4. Nine Inch Nails, "Closer" - Oh, where to start? Should I go with the out-of-focus jump cuts? The primate vivisections? The dark, disjointed imagery? The sadomasochistic torture? Trent Reznor floating in midair? How about all of the above, and for a topper, that it was directed by David Fincher.
I'm with Adam on Black Hole Sun, but for a different reason. I've always had a fear of the end of the world and the apocalypse. This video made that the focus and terrified me, especially at a young age. To this day I can't watch it without getting emotional. Had to look away from my screen while Adam was talking about it.
Michael Jackson's "Thriller" was my first time ever watching some kind of horror. I was a kid at the time. I spent the next several months afterward having to slumber with my parents. To make matters worse, the song was a huge it. The song was on the radio all the time. Therefore, my family would often drive without the radio on because the song would inevitably play regardless of how many times we jumped between stations. Of course, I love the video today. I have performed the classic dance routine dozens of times in my life. I even had a Thriller jacket because it was the ultimate status symbol back in the day.
Me too, it was always the bit at the start where he starts turning into a werewolf that made me shit my 3/4 year old pants. The whole thing was terrifying to me though! I like it as an adult though.
@@mgthestrange9098 That part still freaks me out tbh and Im 19. I could actually see the makeup effects for the zombie background dancers fitting into a legit R-Rated zombie horror flick.
I can think of two that unnerved me not so much nowadays. The first one being Another Brick in the Wall pt.2 by Pink Floyd. I watched this one on the movie when I was a kid and couldn’t sleep for two days. I love it nowadays but what terrified me about it is that all the school kids are wearing these creepy masks and are on this machine and at the end of it is a meat grinder that they each just fall into one by one. The second is Born Free by M.I.A. This video starts out with what looks to be like a S.A.W.T Team going around rounding up gingers and taking them out to the middle of nowhere and releasing them on open desert land that is trapped with land mines.
Semi-related note: in it's context, "Chilly Down" from Labrynth still freaks me out... The tossing around heads and limbs is one level of creepy, but I also find it super rapey as a scene.... The song itself is an absolute banger though and I have it on many-a-playlist
Gotta be Nine Inch Nails' "Happiness in Slavery" for me. Love the band, love the song, but oh god, I cannot watch a man being tortured, disemboweled, and literally ground into pulp. Way too gruesome for me.
Rock DJ was the scariest video I could have ever seen when I was kid! It gave me nightmares for weeks! I'm ok with it now... I'm 30... but I'm so glad it's on this list
I think I didn't even see it in full until years later because TOTP and CDUK (can't remember if the Chart Show was still around) would cut off before he even got naked. So fortunately for me, I didn't get scarred by it as a kid.
Two videos that I remember scaring me as a kid: Don't Come Around Here No More by Tom Petty (especially when they cut Alice up like a cake) and Jeremy by Pearl Jam. The former I have been able to watch since and appreciate as an interesting music video, the latter I saw when I was 6 or 7 when it came out and I have just actively avoided it for almost 30 years. Also weird how Tom Petty had a string of dark music videos and nobody really talks about that...
8:14 I know they are very popular, worldwide known, but in the last 20 years, I have met exactly TWO people who knew who the Avalanches *are*, much less have "Since I Left You" proudly showing where someone can see it... And you're right, James...weird video, but as I also say of the video for the title track, what kind of video *could* be made for them? SILY is possibly my one desert island disc, though since there are actually THREE different versions, it is my *three* desert island discs LOL
My pick would be "Pinion" by Nine Inch Nails: a very short instrumental piece, the video for which disturbed the hell out of me when I saw it at age 12 on Rage. Even now the creepy distorted guitar sounds mixed with the visuals make me feel uneasy.
"I Fink You Freaky" by Die Antwoord and "Doki Doki Morning" by Babymetal - those freaked the shit out of me the first time I saw them. On the other hand, I'm now a hardcore fan of both bands, so...
One of the best, creepy music video's I've ever seen has got to be Cradle of Filth's "Babalon AD" from Damnation and a Day, never terrified me, but damn good for any horror fans. Actually their uncut video for "From the Cradle to enslave" was messed up as well. However, both Apex Twin videos mentioned here legit scared me. More so Window Licker, that bit where the model comes through the legs always gives me a good nope moment.
Vermillion pt. 2 - Slipknot Lazarus - David Bowie Sorgens Kammer Del 2 - Dimmu Borgir (Check this one out Andy) Absolute nightmare fuel. All of them I tell ya.
One more thing, I feel like this film taken as a whole was way ahead of it's time and the fear factor stems from it's grounding in reality. As a fan of many of the bands mentioned, Manson, Slipknot, mushroom head, ect... The videos for these groups are highly stylized and produced, not saying it's a bad thing, but obvious. The Broken movie however, is so dark , gritty, and resembols a found footage documentary feel that became so popular in films years later. It just feels so genuine, it's terrifying. So believable In fact that the U.S. government got involved to ban it believing it to be real. Well, it's not, it's creative expression. But you just can't argue with it. Hands down the most disturbing thing you will ever see as a music video.
I can't believe nobody mentioned Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More". More than the obvious Alice in Wonderland creepiness, that scene where they are all eating her like cake terrified me as a kid. th-cam.com/video/h0JvF9vpqx8/w-d-xo.html
Yolandi looks pretty scary in the Fatty Boom Boom video and that ultra random part with the lady made of hair or whatever in Pitbull Terrier freaked me out no lie.
Dir En Grey - Obscure. Without a doubt. Absolutely not safe for life. Really easy way to change the mood of a party if you’ve got TH-cam on the telly and you get ahold of the remote.
OHHHH I thought that Juggalo thing on his fridge in a previous video was serious! I'm very glad to find out he's just writing ridiculous statements on there 🤣
I can't recall the song, but it was a metal band and the video had this guy, and I remember him killing a kid, then cutting the kid open and stuffing live octopus into him and stitching him back up. Video scarred me for life
Actual answers, probably not so much terrifying as just disturbing to watch: "I Fink U Freeky" by Die Antwoord "Close (to the Edit)" by Art of Noise f/Yoko Ono "Rockit" by Herbie Hancock (especially that bird head pecking at the broken window) "No Money Down" by Lou Reed and seriously, is nobody going to name "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler? Nobody remembers watching this for the first time after seeing Village of the Damned?
Yes, Rok It freaked me out, the robot with a blond wig and torch eyes did it for me. Was the Lou Reed one the one where a mechanical Lou tears his own face off?
The Beautiful People freaked me out a little bit because of those mannequin things in the dresses whose legs grew to like 10 feet long and then shrunk back down to normal size. That still scares me today.
I totally agree about "Rock DJ". Loved the song before I saw the video. It's not a horror video at first so when the skin ripping happens (and everything after) it's freaky.
A few people have said it but the most horrific and disturbing Music Video is the one that has been banned by TH-cam and will be deleted if you add a link. It's Cattle Decapitation with a little film for their song Forced Gender Reassignment. It makes Eli Roth movies look like Sesame Street! Special mention for anything by Justin Bieber though - enough to make the most hardened masochist's skin creep.
Nothing recently, but the 1988 record by Paul Hardcastle, '40 Years' came close. Imagine a more serious version of 'Two Tribes' - this was at the very peak of Soviet instability as Communism started teetering on the edge of collapse, and the threat of the button being pressed was closer than ever. The facts given in the record were, at the time, correct in every way, and coupled with the video imagery, were terrifying. If you paid attention, and actually knew what was going on, even more so.
When I was young my cousin used to tell me the werewolves from thriller, aka micheal Jackson, would come thru the sun roof in our car if it was open at night. Shit freaked me the fucked out and he used to open it and -lay thriller lol
1:03 AGREED! 👍..Dancing Mannequin Effigies = High Octane Nightmare Fuel! HOWEVER.. "Marilyn Manson Man That You Fear Video" based on semi-famous *short story.. (*mission/homework should you choose to accept, is find it) FYI: It's a slowburn..(if ever a music video was) from same album as BP, Antichrist Superstar. Devoid of queued creepy rapid edits it is IMHO MORE NIGHTMARISH than his previous videos for BP, Tourniquet, Long Hard Road Out of Hell, No Bodies, Disposable Teens, Coma White, etcetc... The band's later videos were just GORY for shock value...tho' SAY10 is an underrated gem of a song and Johnny Depp playin "Satan" in video may appeal to some. .. anyway luv your lists and keep em comin as they break the current state of monotony. cheers🖖
I don’t know the name of the song or the artist, I can’t even remember the song itself, just the imagery; there’s a man who starts moving his head slowly from side to side, then it gets faster and faster until his face is blurred and warped and it just looks insane. I don’t know if it’s just one party of a completely normal video or if it’s the whole thing, but it terrified me as a child.
Everything by NIN The creepy claymation videos by Tool. Marilyn Manson I found creepier in his white androgynous alien suit during his Mechanical Animals phase. The Beautiful people video was a bit too try hard for me. Prodigy has a few creepy ones, like baby's got a temper.
I was getting concerned that nobody was mentioning come to daddy but it showed up. I'd add The Prodigy- "Breathe", Massive Attack- "Karmacoma", and Tool- "Stinkfist"
No "One", by Metallica? That video, above all other videos, scares the heck out of me because it could be real. Aphex twin, Marilyn mansion, theyre cool but they're not "realistic". Being stuck in in my head with no way to communicate , no way to even explain what's happening to me? That terrifies me. And with Covid, that's the "worst case scenario" before you die, I'm extremely scared rn lol
NIN Broken, aka NIN Broken Movie/bootleg. Without a doubt the most disturbing music video you will ever see. It will haunt you forever, you've been warned.
The more I watch these, the more I feel like Scott & I would get along famously. Every time I watch one I decide what my own entry would be and 9/10 times, Scott says exactly what my entry would be. 🤷🏻♂️😂
*"Carly Rae Jepsen ate my hamster."* I'm f'ing dying 😝🤣😝🤣
I started laughing like crazy when I saw it too!! 😂😂😂
These are all very compelling and interesting, but I have a few that you missed:
1. Tool, "Sober" - I could have easily picked almost any of this band's videos, but "Sober" was the first one I'd ever seen. It's a dark and foreboding animated exploration of insanity and depression, which still creeps me out today.
2. The Prodigy, "Smack My Bitch Up" - The title alone reeks of controversy, but it is tame in comparison to the music video. It's a first-person perspective of a psychotic fever dream, complete with alcohol, drugs, vomiting, partying, and physical abuse of both men and women. By the end, you hate looking through these eyes, only to realize you can't look away. The payoff at the end (which I will not spoil) will leave a mark on you, and you may want to take a shower after watching it.
3. Eminem, "Stan" - This song and video about an obsessed Eminem fan is a modern classic. It is a now too familiar tale of celebrity stalking gone too far. It is haunting, it is disturbing, and Eminem's epiphany at the end is an absolute shocker. This song has become so ubiquitous, the term "stan" is now in the OED, defined as "an overzealous or obsessive fan of a particular celebrity".
4. Nine Inch Nails, "Closer" - Oh, where to start? Should I go with the out-of-focus jump cuts? The primate vivisections? The dark, disjointed imagery? The sadomasochistic torture? Trent Reznor floating in midair? How about all of the above, and for a topper, that it was directed by David Fincher.
Agreed! And, and....A Perfect Circle "Weak and Powerless" could be considered creepy as well. JS
Great choices! And great way of describing them. Your descriptions actually made me want to go rewatch them.
Closer is such a brilliant song too! Makes the video even creepier!
I’m loving Simon’s subtle fridge messages in all these 😂
I thought of Apex Twin the second that I saw this list.
Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy takes it for me.
Horrifying!
I love that video!
You can print a mask of his face off their webpage to make a mask.
Rubber Johnny is the one that gets me
Stan by Eminem especially at the end when “Stan” flashes in Eminem’s window at the end
I'm with Adam on Black Hole Sun, but for a different reason. I've always had a fear of the end of the world and the apocalypse. This video made that the focus and terrified me, especially at a young age. To this day I can't watch it without getting emotional. Had to look away from my screen while Adam was talking about it.
Yes! I forgot about that Black Hole Sun! In the days when VH1 and Mtv played music early in the morning, and that would come on and freak me out.
☠︎wouldn’t want to watch it in the wrong state of mind
Heart Shaped Box is kinda similar in its imagary, heroin and seattle made some fucked up vids....
"Mr. Krinkle" by Primus is the first video that ever truly made me unsettled
Haha most primes videos tbh
Michael Jackson's "Thriller" was my first time ever watching some kind of horror. I was a kid at the time. I spent the next several months afterward having to slumber with my parents.

Schism by Tool the "people" in the video are just nightmare fuel
Semi-related note: in it's context, "Chilly Down" from Labrynth still freaks me out... The tossing around heads and limbs is one level of creepy, but I also find it super rapey as a scene.... The song itself is an absolute banger though and I have it on many-a-playlist
Dig by Mudvayne was an absolute nightmare when I first saw it, definitely worth the watch
Gotta be Nine Inch Nails' "Happiness in Slavery" for me. Love the band, love the song, but oh god, I cannot watch a man being tortured, disemboweled, and literally ground into pulp. Way too gruesome for me.
"Forced Gender Reassignment" by Cattle Decapitation. Soooo F'ed up!!!
I was going to look that up on YT but if I searched either the song or band name, I dread to think what results I’d get!
Mhairi Gibbons It really is hard to watch...
It's only available on Bloodydisgusting.com.
It's a brutal, political statement against those who judge other, who are different.
It's rough...
Oh god I forgot about this.
T H E
D R I L L
@@stuballingerart shut up and take it
Saw “Mary” from Supergrass when I was young, terrifying. Tool videos are weird too.
Yep tool
"Tool videos are weird too"
The Prodigy: SMACK MY BITCH UP!
Rock DJ was the scariest video I could have ever seen when I was kid! It gave me nightmares for weeks! I'm ok with it now... I'm 30... but I'm so glad it's on this list

If I remember right, a toned down version was made for during the day and the full version was only aired late at night.
Trivia: The guy doing pushups in Soundgarden's Blackhole Sun video is Rocky from Rocky Horror Picture Show.
The guy at the bathroom sink, is that former job squad wrestler Al Snow? :D
Two videos that I remember scaring me as a kid:
Don't Come Around Here No More by Tom Petty (especially when they cut Alice up like a cake) and Jeremy by Pearl Jam. The former I have been able to watch since and appreciate as an interesting music video, the latter I saw when I was 6 or 7 when it came out and I have just actively avoided it for almost 30 years.
Also weird how Tom Petty had a string of dark music videos and nobody really talks about that...
same w/ "Don't Come Around Here No More"
Nine Inch Nails-Happiness In Slavery. Don't watch it if you have a weak stomach!
One by Metallica still scares the hell out of me...... S.O.S
The video Enter sandman ...the truck hitting the kids bed in the middle of the road so creepy😨
I thought “One” was the coolest video ever. It made me read the book when I was like 10.
8:14 I know they are very popular, worldwide known, but in the last 20 years, I have met exactly TWO people who knew who the Avalanches *are*, much less have "Since I Left You" proudly showing where someone can see it...
And you're right, James...weird video, but as I also say of the video for the title track, what kind of video *could* be made for them? SILY is possibly my one desert island disc, though since there are actually THREE different versions, it is my *three* desert island discs LOL
"Frankie Teardrop" by Suicide. Keep the lights on and the coffee brewing...
I had nightmares about that Claymation Michael Jackson videp.
Speed Demon?
This is creepy af, especially in the moonwalker movie where he gets stalked by those creepy claymation figures.
My pick would be "Pinion" by Nine Inch Nails: a very short instrumental piece, the video for which disturbed the hell out of me when I saw it at age 12 on Rage. Even now the creepy distorted guitar sounds mixed with the visuals make me feel uneasy.
Frontier Psychiatrist getting some love. What a song and just a spectacular video👍👍👍🤘🏻🤘🏻
"I Fink You Freaky" by Die Antwoord and "Doki Doki Morning" by Babymetal - those freaked the shit out of me the first time I saw them.
On the other hand, I'm now a hardcore fan of both bands, so...

Skrillex 'First of the year' Classic
I wouldn't say it terrifies me, but the video for "Rubber Johnny" by Aphex Twin creeps me out. Enjoyably so.
Aphex Twin showing up twice is just proof that that shit is terrifying
Wow no mention of Broken by Nine Inch Nails, that 20 mins changed me forever.
Vermillion pt. 2 - Slipknot
Lazarus - David Bowie
Sorgens Kammer Del 2 - Dimmu Borgir (Check this one out Andy)
Absolute nightmare fuel. All of them I tell ya.
Ghetto Boys-Mind Playing Trucks On Me. Insane Clown Posse -Bowling Balls.
Ooh god that quick shot of... whatever the hell it was in the sky during Bushwick Bill's verse😖
the "happiness in slavery" video by Nine Inch Nails is pretty horrific
Meshuggah - "I Am Colossus". First watched it sitting in a dark room at about 1am. It felt like a nightmare come to life tbh.
That’s the creepiest music video I’ve ever seen too
The most disturbing music video I've ever seen in my life is Nine Inch Nails Happiness In Slavery. I can never watch it again.
One more thing, I feel like this film taken as a whole was way ahead of it's time and the fear factor stems from it's grounding in reality.
As a fan of many of the bands mentioned, Manson, Slipknot, mushroom head, ect...
The videos for these groups are highly stylized and produced, not saying it's a bad thing, but obvious.
The Broken movie however, is so dark , gritty, and resembols a found footage documentary feel that became so popular in films years later.
It just feels so genuine, it's terrifying.
So believable In fact that the U.S. government got involved to ban it believing it to be real.
Well, it's not, it's creative expression. But you just can't argue with it.
Hands down the most disturbing thing you will ever see as a music video.
RIP Andy's Behemoth shirt.
I can't believe nobody mentioned Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More". More than the obvious Alice in Wonderland creepiness, that scene where they are all eating her like cake terrified me as a kid.
th-cam.com/video/h0JvF9vpqx8/w-d-xo.html
Most Die Antward videos are pretty freaky....but awesome!
And Tool
Yolandi looks pretty scary in the Fatty Boom Boom video and that ultra random part with the lady made of hair or whatever in Pitbull Terrier freaked me out no lie.
Marlyn Manson’s Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This
Yes
Dir En Grey - Obscure. Without a doubt.
Absolutely not safe for life.
Really easy way to change the mood of a party if you’ve got TH-cam on the telly and you get ahold of the remote.
OHHHH I thought that Juggalo thing on his fridge in a previous video was serious! I'm very glad to find out he's just writing ridiculous statements on there 🤣
Psycho Therapy- Ramones. Go watch all the way through and report back. Now imagine being a child in the 80s watching that.
In that Apex Twin video he is not shouting at that old woman. She just came from a salon and her hair was wet. He was trying to dry it for her.
Gruntwhore by Mutation is basically torture porn whilst Prison Sex by Tool is totally terrifying
Shooter Jennings - Summer of Rage. Not terrifying, but creepy
Rammstein - Links 2 3 4. If bugs freak you out, avoid
Cradle of Filth Cradle to Enslave blows all these away
I can't recall the song, but it was a metal band and the video had this guy, and I remember him killing a kid, then cutting the kid open and stuffing live octopus into him and stitching him back up. Video scarred me for life
Actual answers, probably not so much terrifying as just disturbing to watch:
"I Fink U Freeky" by Die Antwoord
"Close (to the Edit)" by Art of Noise f/Yoko Ono
"Rockit" by Herbie Hancock (especially that bird head pecking at the broken window)
"No Money Down" by Lou Reed
and seriously, is nobody going to name "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler? Nobody remembers watching this for the first time after seeing Village of the Damned?
Yes, Rok It freaked me out, the robot with a blond wig and torch eyes did it for me. Was the Lou Reed one the one where a mechanical Lou tears his own face off?
Worlock by Skinny Puppy, pretty much a mash up of scenes from various horror movies.
“Salvation” by The Cranberries. Terrified me as a kid!
The Beautiful People freaked me out a little bit because of those mannequin things in the dresses whose legs grew to like 10 feet long and then shrunk back down to normal size. That still scares me today.
As a baby, Thriller.
As a young teen, Black Hole Sun
For some reason, we had an official VHS of Thriller at home. I could barely look at the back of the box let alone watch it..
"Bleed" by Meshuggah freaked me out back in the day. I think "Forced Gender Reassignment" by Cattle Decapitation takes the cake now though.
I totally agree about "Rock DJ". Loved the song before I saw the video. It's not a horror video at first so when the skin ripping happens (and everything after) it's freaky.
A few people have said it but the most horrific and disturbing Music Video is the one that has been banned by TH-cam and will be deleted if you add a link. It's Cattle Decapitation with a little film for their song Forced Gender Reassignment.
It makes Eli Roth movies look like Sesame Street!
Special mention for anything by Justin Bieber though - enough to make the most hardened masochist's skin creep.
How come everyone missed Tool's "Sober". Brilliantly animated and very, very unsettling.
Andy, my deepest of sympathies to you my friend, I've lost a many of my fav shirts in laundry machines, I know it sucks.
Basement jaxx wheres your head at = nightmare fuel for life lol
Nothing recently, but the 1988 record by Paul Hardcastle, '40 Years' came close.

David Bowie’s The Next Day is gory
Nurse With Wound's "I've Plummed this whole neighborhood"... by a mile!
For the Aphex Twin fans, both videos were directed by Chris Cunningham. Worth looking up.
When I was young my cousin used to tell me the werewolves from thriller, aka micheal Jackson, would come thru the sun roof in our car if it was open at night. Shit freaked me the fucked out and he used to open it and -lay thriller lol

High Octane Nightmare Fuel!
HOWEVER..
"Marilyn Manson Man That You Fear Video"
based on semi-famous *short story.. (*mission/homework should you choose to accept, is find it)
FYI: It's a slowburn..(if ever a music video was) from same album as BP, Antichrist Superstar. Devoid of queued creepy rapid edits it is IMHO MORE NIGHTMARISH than his previous videos for BP, Tourniquet, Long Hard Road Out of Hell, No Bodies, Disposable Teens, Coma White, etcetc...
The band's later videos were just GORY for shock value...tho' SAY10 is an underrated gem of a song and Johnny Depp playin "Satan" in video may appeal to some.

If that clip was scary, James, be thankful you didn't the original (for Australian broadcast) clip. Positively nightmare inducing.
"Tourniquet" by Marilyn Manson
Oblivion by Mastodon always left me feeling deeply unsettled

Madonna's Bedtime Stories did it for me. Man, that video scared me so bad I had nightmares for a WEEK.
NIN Broken, aka NIN Broken Movie/bootleg.
Without a doubt the most disturbing music video you will ever see.
It will haunt you forever, you've been warned.
Eurethymics (probably misspelled) "Sweet dreams" scared the shit out of me when I was a kid
The Skeptics - AFFCO. Filmed in an actual AFFCO abattoirs, banned from television airplay

I was 3 when Michael Jackson's Thriller was released. The video terrified me. My parents loved to call me to the room whenever it came on.
Look up mv's from Dir en Grey for some creepy mv's most of them arent even allowed on youtube
Obscure is no lie one of my fav music videos ever but I can get why one may find the visuals rather... upsetting lol.
Pretty much all of the Aphex Twin videos are terrifying. But I’d also go with the video for rabbit in your headlights by UNKLE.
AND Cradle of Filth! All of their Videos too 😉
Lullaby by The Cure creeps me out still 🤣
I cannot watch that video. I just cant
@@mpdalyful1 yeahh I'm the same hahah
The prodigy fornme firestarter. I know smacknmy bitch up is more controversial, but by that time I was like 14 or 15, but firestarter at 10 shook me
"Dope Hat" by Marilyn Manson
I don't know about anyone else but Bonnie Tyler's Lost in France vid scares the shit out of me.
Her eyes don't light up like they're supposed to.
Come to Daddy by Aphex Twin is my choice
Dir en grey- obscure. Do not say I didn't warn you because I did
SKYND videos! All of them! Amazing!
Behemoth's entire "The Satanist" album is incredible
Any dir en grey music video , most video are removed from youtube lol
Julia Roberts mouth is the stuff of nightmares 😂
I will never forget where I was the first time I heard and saw Black Hole Sun. I miss So. Cal so bad.
I was obsessed with WindowLicker! And yes it's far creepier than Come to Daddy
Tool videos are wild. Sober is the creepiest one. Fn claymation dude pull open the side ofa pipe and theres just human organs pumping through
Christian Woman by Type O Negative. I love the band but that first impression kept me away for a while.
Thought I would have to suggest Behemoth after this clip was over, thank you Andy Murray!
One of the scariest I can think of is VIXX's "Voodoo Doll".
