I used to play Nemesis by Shreikback on a college radio station late at night when I would turn out all the lights in the studio-just to creep myself out.

The song that always creeps me out is "Ghosttown" by the Untouchables(I think). It had a very eerie sound. I think that the lyrics were about people in clubs getting into fights and the clubs shutting down, but it had a cool, scary vibe.

"Girlfriend in a Coma" by the Smiths.
"Peak-a-boo" by Devo (a song I like, but still a little creepy).

Throbbing Gristle's "10" is really creepy...hell, the whole album ("Second Annual Report") could cause nightmares.

Nowhere Girl -- Isn't "Ghost Town" by The Specials? That sure is a creepy song.

OH, and "Scissor Man" by XTC always scared me.
