His duet with (of all people) Kylie Minogue - “Where the Wild Roses Grow”. SHIVERS!
You really wanna go full force- the albums of one C. Manson, the Gospel album of the People’s Temple Choir led by a Rev. J. Jones (the last cut of which is their FINAL performance- but no singing), and an album of organ music &
ritual performed by a certain Rev. A. LaVey… oh yeah, and a mostly spoken-word
one by “Uncle Al” Crowley.
Yeah, I- One of the SDMB Christian Fundists, own all but the LaVey one.
This recording of chants by the (Tibetan) Gyuto monks was one of the first available in the West. (I have it on LP.)
Of course, this is NOT Satanic! But an it includes an invocation of Mahakala–a formidable Protector with six arms & crown of skulls.
I have the privilege of hearing them perform live. With their double-voiced chanting, small drums made of skulls & trumpets of human thigh bones–they DID make everyone’s hair stand on end. Let’s keep on Mahakala’s good side!
Aisha, by Death in Vegas. Iggy Pop on vocals – opening lyrics:
Aisha, we’ve only just met
And I think you ought to know
I’m a murderer. Babies need blood.
I have a portrait on my wall
He’s a serial killer.
I thought he wouldn’t escape.
Aisha, he got out.
Tom Waits has some suitable songs too (I tend to think of him as kind of similar to Nick Cave in some ways):
The Earth Died Screaming
Poor Edward
There’s more but I’m having a hard time picking them out right now.
Songs by other people:
The Velvet Underground- Venus in Furs
David Bowie’s cover of See Emily Play; it’s so insane it’s scary
Joy Division- Atrocity Exhibition
Dead Souls is another lighthearted Joy Division ditty for this thread.

[li]O fortuna! aka “the song from Excalibur.”[/li][/QUOTE]
A fair portion of Orff’s Carmina Burana is pretty creepy, actually.
Somewhat reminiscent of this piece is Britten’s War Requiem (“Dies irae” in particular), and another I’d recommend.
I like the theme from Halloween for this.
I’ll second Dance Macabre
would the OP consider ‘Tocata and Fugue in D Minor’ (sp?) as fitting the bill?
(it’s where the “traditionally played by Dracula on the organ” bit is from, for the uninitiated)
To me, Tocata is Mad Science music.
More generally, I’d say it’s too fast for a really creepy effect. Parts of it are nearly different voices racing each other.
Dracula? I know it’s used in the Hammer production of PHANTOM OF THE OPERA starring Herbert Lom.
The Dies Irae section from Verdi’s Requiem. Same section in requiems by Berlioz or other composers.
Liszt’s Totentanz for piano and orchestra. Basically a set of variations on Dies Irae.

Thanks for starting this thread. This is also something I’ve been wanting to find out for myself. Can you ever get too much Satanic music? 
The City of Lost Children is an awesome movie! I love Ron Pearlman in it.
As to Satanic or creepy music, check out King Diamond. The guy is Satanic. I don’t consider his music creepy, just very unique. Make sure your first exposure to them is with the album THEM. It’s really the only album I like by that group. King Diamond’s earlier band, Mercyful Fate, is really great. I suggest you start with the album TIME as it is the best in my opinion. I also like a band called Therion; it almost has an operatic theme to it. It really doesn’t qualify as Satanic or creepy. It’s just very cool. Try the album VOVIN.
One of my all time favorite Satanic groups is a black group called Flatlinerz. They only made one album called U.S.A. (Under Satan’s Authority), which has since gone out of print, so good luck finding it. Their genre isn’t “hardcore”; it’s “horrorcore” and the lyrics are really quite clever with really good music to match. I don’t usually like that type of music, so that says a lot. I find it refreshing to find a group of Satanic black rappers as that ethnic group rarely has any ties to that type of music. This is definitely one worth checking out, for novelty if nothing else.
Besides these, there’s always your old standbys like Slayer and Danzig.
My girlfriend listened to a compilation I made from the selections here. She thought it was more brooding emotional stuff than the really dark Satanic stuff
she hoped for. She’s looking for stuff similar to Therion, King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, etc., as well as dark brooding classical music (Toccata & Fugue, the various Dies Irae’s)
I myself find Nick Cave plenty creepy- she just thinks he’s lame.
SO based on that- any more recommendations for her?
What I came here to say.
*Wild Women With Steak Knives * is an amazing, amazing piece of music.
Jingle Bells.
What?

[ul][li]Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells (aka the Exorcist soundtrack)[/ul][/li][/QUOTE]
I have to say that I’ve always hated the idea of Tubular Bells being listed as some sort of halloween music just because of it’s incusion in The Exorcist. Especially since it’s used in the film in one of the least scary bits.
True story : I used to be a good little Southern Baptist but with a little bit of a rebellious streak. I was working in North Carolina and was going to drive with a buddy of mine over to Oklahoma for early college registration. He (being an even stricter SB than I was) refused to let me play that tape in the car because he claimed it was devil worship music.
And of course, I forgot to add that most of the scariest music in the film was done by either Penderecki or George Crumb.
“Bela Lugosi’s Dead” (Bauhaus), while not satanic per se, is still pretty creepy.
“Inadagaddavida” will always be spooky to me after seeing “Man Hunter” (the first incarnation of “The Red Dragon”).
Try Black Sabbath’s “Children of the Grave” for some really spooky effects, especially the bit near the end when the title phrase is repeated in a chanting whisper over an extended low guitar note. Creepy as hell.
