Would that be They Only Come Out at Night? That’s the one with the closeup of Edgar in drag.
I agree, spoke- about “The Guns of Brixton,” which is threatening and scary.
I agree about “Time of the Season.” Actually, given the spooky sounds, the lyrics are a little disappointing.

The Scream–Siouxsie and the Banshees first record. Dark freaky almost unpleasant.
Pornography–The Cure. Ditto
Anything by Pantera
Murder Ballads–Nick Cave. Just what the title said.
Perked Ears indicate curiosity - Know Your Cat
“Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner” - Warren Zevon.
Back when I was an impressionable youngster, U2’s “With or Without You” really freaked me out, mostly because I interpreted the lyrics literally.
Heck is where you go when you don’t believe in Gosh.
“They’re coming to take me away…” at 2:30 am on the local radio station pretty much freaked me out more than any other song ever has…

I don’t see how “I am the Walrus” could be scary.

When I grow up, I want to be the Minister of Silly Walks.
Echo and the Bunnymen. That’s who did “The Killing Moon.” It finally came to me.
An obscure one:
[ul][li]Bible and a Gun - Jason and the Scorchers. (Song from the perspective of a serial killer.) Sample lyric:[/li]
I believe Steve Earle co-wrote that one. Hard to get any creepier than a serial killer song.[/ul]
“My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean. My Bonnie Lies over the Sea…”
Gave me the heebie-jeebies for years. I thought they were saying, “My Body…”

Imbibo, ergo sum.
Blues musician Robert Johnson will put a chill on your bones!
And “Dark Was The Night-Cold Was The Ground”, by Blind Willie Johnson is my all time spine tingler. It’s been co-opted by Ry Cooder in the “Paris, Texas” soundtrack, and then further diluted in Ford truck commercials. Anytime you hear that long, low, lonesome slide guitar sound, it’s Blind Willie comin’ up from the grave. Nothing compares to the original, though.
I find Concrete Blonde stuff is a little bit disturbing, but one song I find kinda morbid is “Tomorrow, Wendy, you’re going to die”
mind you there’re other bands that freak me alot more than that, but it’s just that I’m listening to that song right now… 
I don’t suffer from insanity…
I enjoy every minute of it!
It’s called “Hated”. Not recommended for anyone with a weak stomach. Actually, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone at all. Yuck.
When I was very little The Late Late Movie used to have The Syncopated Clock as its theme. That song still gives me goosbumps. I don’t know why.
Also from early childhood.

Catrandom: I KNOW them. Met through a radio station I was working for. They’re terribly nice guys, not wierdos. Mostly.
The whole freakin’ White Album gives me the heebie jeebies, but I like it. I was raised on the Beatles, and the line from Elenore Rigby: “She keeps her face in a jar by the door,” (or something close to that) always freaked me out. And Jealous Guy by Lennon. If you listen to the words, it sounds as though he’s talking about his stalker 100%, like he not only knew he was going to die, but he knew who was going to kill him. Frightening.
Ditto on the Doors, they’re my rainy day music when I feel like being a little spooky. And a lot of Dylan’s stuff gives me the shivers, the protest music. Joe Brown in particular.
Off to find some happy music.
All there is to thinking is seeing something noticeable which makes you see something you weren’t noticing which makes you see something that isn’t even visable.
Apparently, no one around here has ever listened to Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart. Bizarre stuff. Great, but bizarre.
“London Calling” scary? Psssst! Captain Beefheart scary? Ha! Just because something is unusual doesn’t mean the music is scary.
When I was a kid, I listened to Nina Hagen’s “Nunsexmonkrock”. NOTHING is scary after that. Listen to it on a walkman, in the dark. Your life will change.
The soundtrack to “The Omen” is really creepy, too. Great deep Latin churchy vocals and kooky organ.
Let me put it this way. If serial killers chose their all time ‘fave’, Trout Mask Replica would be it. The “music” on the album would be completely appropos to be playing while some leather-masked psycho flays his next victim and simultaneously sticks needles in his scrotum.
Nobody’s mentioned them yet, but a couple more Stones songs that fit the bill are Sympathy for the Devil and Midnight Rambler (“I’ll stick my knife right down your throat”)
AC/DC had a very similar “I’m gonna sneak into your house and kill you song” on the Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap Album, Night Prowler.
Every Breath You Take by the Police is kind of a chilling song when you really listen to the words. It’s a song about an obsessed stalker, masquerading as a love song.
“We are here for this – to make mistakes and to correct ourselves, to withstand the blows and to hand them out.” Primo Levi
Um–I have, lots of times. I agree that it is a great album. Not at all scary though.
