Scariest Song Ever thread... for Halloween... or just moody times.

I know Tom went with "Frankie Teardrop" by Suicide last year... but what else have we got?

My pick? Nearly anything by Shockabilly on a 45rpm platter played at 33rpm:

Scariest Song Ever!

Oh Yes! Ministry works just fine... though my pick for last year's playlist was their cover of "Lay Lady Lay."

Truly frightening? Or ironic frightening, like something by Little Marcy or somebody? You're probably gonna get a lot of the latter.

I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

John Cale's version of "Heartbreak Hotel" has to be at or near the top of any scariest song ever list.

I don't really think any song is partic scary, but I think Skinny Puppy was onto something unsettling with their improvised noise work.
