Ten MORE Creepy Music Videos

The “Ten Creepy Videos Just In Time For Halloween” list was a big hit with you readers. However, as many of you know, there aren’t just ten creepy music videos out there. So, I went ahead and put together another list because this holiday season is just too damn cheery for me. I’ll start you off nice and mellow with The Cure below, but after the jump, there are nine more creepy videos for your viewing pleasure (displeasure?).

The Cure – Lullaby
I have a serious problem with spiders, so the thought of waking up coated in spider webs is nauseating. Also, Robert Smith being eaten by a giant vagina is something to note. 

Dir En Grey – Obscure

Wrapped bodies dangling from the ceiling, baby-faced strap-ons in use and a dismembered cybernetic naked woman. Does that do it for you? If not, there’s always a vomiting Japanese singer.
Behemoth – Alas, Lord Is Upon Me
 
Something about religion and the damnation of it has always struck a chord with me. I’m a big fan of any religious-based horror movie, so seeing it in a music video gets my juices flowing.
Eraserhead – In Heaven
The first of two videos in this list that aren’t exactly traditional music videos. This scene, taken from David Lynch’s trippy masterpiece Eraserhead, turns a beautiful song into something out of a nightmare. I still, to this day, cannot listen to this song without the hairs on my arm raising.
Opeth – Porcelain Heart
One of my favorite bands, Opeth managed to take the eerie beauty of ‘Porcelain Heart’ and match it with the visuals of Lasse Hoile to create a video that would probably be of great interest to the people behind the upcoming “The Raven”: This video practically screams out the atmosphere of an Edgar Allen Poe story.
Cavalera Conspiracy – Sanctuary
So, basically what we have here is the Elephant Man going on a killing rampage. I’m cool with that.
Aphex Twin – Rubber Johnny
Though not originally meant as an actual Aphex Twin video (it was meant to be a 30 second TV commercial for the Aphex Twin album ‘Drukqs’), director (and star) Chris Cunningham loved the concept of this video so much that he expanded it into this six minute format. Make sure to watch through the raver dancing to get to some gruesome close-ups. 
Stone Temple Pilots – Sour Girl
Beautifully shot (and starring the always easy on the eyes Sarah Michelle Gellar), STP created a video that matched the subtle unearthliness of the music. It also helps to have some evil Teletubbies prancing around. 
Rammstein – Mein Teil
It’s Rammstein. Enough said.
Pink Floyd – The Wall
The second of the non-traditional music videos on this list, Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall’ is a visual tour de force that has some of the most arresting visuals I’ve seen. If you haven’t seen this amazing movie, the above video is an unbroken clip on the entire film. I highly recommend turning up your speakers, hitting “full screen” and easing back for one amazing journey.
Well readers, this list has come to an end. But for next time, I want to make a list of YOUR favorite creepy videos. So, do me a favor and comment with a couple of your choices. Also, spread the word by sharing this article via Facebook and/or Twitter to get some of your friends in on this action. And as always, you can follow me on Twitter to shoot me some suggestions on there.

“He Walks By Night” – Listen to a Brand New John Carpenter Song NOW!

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.

Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.

Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.

“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.

“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
