Some songs are just… disturbing.  They leave you feeling just a bit… edgy.  You find yourself looking over your shoulder, then laughing at yourself…. and then looking again.  They’re the songs that remind you that you really aren’t quite sure just what lies in the shadows….

Sweet Dreams (are made of this) Marilyn Manson

If Marilyn Manson did nothing else, he gave us this; one of the greatest covers ever made, and one of the most disturbing.

Scarecrow Ministry

Ministry is always a bit disturbing, but Scarecrow is downright frightening.  Even if you can’t understand Al Jorgenson, you know there’s something about him that’s off.  And that is really his voice.

Body Parts Three 6 Mafia

Before they were a stoned club hit machine, Three 6 Mafia were right on the verge of scary…

Imagine A Perfect Circle

Good old Maynerd… took one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and made it… haunting.

Zombie Eaters Faith No More

This one always rubbed me the wrong way; you felt something was just really wrong after you heard it…

Dead Skin Mask Slayer

From the opening riff, this is one of the scariest songs I’ve ever heard.

Don’t Fear The Reaper Blue Oyster Cult

Such a subtly disturbing song; a beautiful song, made more so by its morbid subject matter…

I Just Want Something I Can Never Have Nine Inch Nails

You know that feeling you get when you’ve had your heart broken, and everything sucks? This song catches it, to a near suicidal tone.

Games Without Frontiers Peter Gabriel

I think what always freaked me out about this song was the fact that I couldn’t figure it out…

Down By The Water PJ Harvey

I don’t know if it’s that weird bass buzzing thing in the background, or the echos, or that damn whispering, but this one always made me wonder if women weren’t a bit scary after all…
