Faaip de Oaid by Tool is a creepy thought provoking song that if listened to at night, makes your skin crawl... a mental guy goes on about an alien invasion!

Ripe with decay is also creepy at first, (especaily at night) but get the meaning and you'll understand it's mastery.

If you want an eerie song, Tool is a great band for that. And especially if you watch their videos as well :) They're just very dark, sometimes bordering eerieness. The long intro of their song Flood for example is a perfect example.

But what is creepy music? It depends on your definition I guess. I have heard many songs that don't sound creepy until you see the video or until you figure out the meaning of the lyrics. I guess creepy in itself is a vague term depending on one's interpretation.

People don't often consider jazz songs to be creepy, but I think the song "Hot House" performed by Dizzy Gillespie is creepy.

“John Wayne Gacy Jr.” by Sufjan Stevens is creepy. It's about the famous Chicago serial killer.

For creepy music I like the track “Terrible Canyons of Static” by Godspeed You Black Emperor. It’s got a sound clip of this weird Christian cult preacher followed by this really creepy slow repetitive musical buildup.

(Just ignore the bad video and listen to the music :? )
