Scariest Song?

[donbosco]

I was 11 when this song came out. I remember first hearing it on WKIX late in the evening as I was trying to fall asleep. It has haunted me ever since. It is still the scariest song of all.

Name one more frightening if you can.




Scenes from the equally frightening film, Metropolis.

"Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" Of course the poignancy of that song was significantly reduced by seeing Gordon Lightfoot drunk, slobber his way through it on stage.

Loved that song and think about it as we go down this path...

but this is the scariest "song " for me since watching the Exorcist 50 years ago ?

Black Sabbath- Black Sabbath was always kind of scary to me.

This one got to me even before the Zager and Evans one.

Don't Fear the Reaper. Any song about the grim reaper is scary!


And, the song has more cowbell. Always terrifying ...

Damn.

Basically the only reasonable reaction to that song lol

On a somewhat lighter note, this song terrified me as a kid

Andrew Bird’s Fake Palindromes is one the funniest, catchy, horror songs ever made.

And, disturbingly, the tenor of the times makes this a contender.

There's a mood here...

 

[donbosco]

Pretty damn scary...
