Fun Songs that Creep You Out

[Doctor Omega]

Quite simply, what are the songs or tunes that freak you out, or give you a shiver up the spine, or goose pimples?

I use to play the HALLOWEEN theme at night when my son was 10 or 11 years old.

We'd switch off all the lights in the house and I'd creep around in the dark, hunting him...

Great fun.

 

[ant-mac]

How about this for a DOCTOR WHO theme?

 

[Doctor Omega]

This scared the crap out of me as a kid......

 

[Doctor Omega]

And the music reversed.....

 

[Doctor Omega]

Years Ago and Steven....

From this album....

 

[Doctor Omega]

Another one that used to freak me out as a kid.....

I always thought it was a werewolf and I knew nothing of the Piltdown Man that inspired it....

 

[ant-mac]

Another one that used to freak me out as a kid.....

I always thought it was a werewolf and know nothing of the Piltdown Man that inspired it....

Oh yeah, I've got that.

 

[Doctor Omega]

Where are the creepy tunes of today?

It's all so un-scary, music wise.

 

[ant-mac]

And while it wasn't technically a song, this use to creep me out all the time when I was younger. In fact, it still does now...

 

[Doctor Omega]

And, while my sister was listening to Kate Bush, I was playing this rubbish....

 

[Doctor Omega]

That is a spooky intro to Survivors.

I first saw it as a trailer on the last VHS tape of Blake's 7.

 

[ant-mac]

Another one on the slightly eerie side...

 

[Doctor Omega]

Yes, that tunnel effect combined with the music was eerie and haunting.

 

[Doctor Omega]

Then there was this one.....

 

[Doctor Omega]

And this....

 

[ant-mac]

That is a spooky intro to Survivors.

I first saw it as a trailer on the last VHS tape of Blake's 7.

I was 10 or 11 when I first watched SURVIVORS, back in 1979.

Those credits gave me the willies.

I waited over 30 years to own that TV series on DVD.

 

[Doctor Omega]

Now, I only found this intro this year, and have never seen it before in my life, but it ranks up there for me with all the previous ones for eeriness.....

Has anyone here seen the show it was an intro to, coz I'm intrigued!

 

[Doctor Omega]

And, as a devoted Whovian, I trusted Tom Baker to tell me a story without scaring me with the opening titles....

My trust was misplaced!

 

[Doctor Omega]

I realise that this has turned momentarily into a tv themes thread, but I guess a lot of those did stick in our heads.....

And certainly the spookier ones....
