Tool videos are definitely the weirdest/at times most confusing I’ve seen (I’d put the Manson ones in more of a freakshow catagory).
Sober is the video with the meat-like substance going through the pipes (oddly it kinda reminds me of sasuage).
Unfortunately I don’t remember the dwarves…
The imagery I find most disgusting in a Tool video are the slugs/worms in Stinkfist.
I absolutely agree. The video in which she ends up being eaten by a big teddy bear makes my hair stand up on end. shudder
Weird: Fiona Apple, Criminal - a totally creepy but oddly arousing “basement porn” feel
Scary - NiN, can’t remember the title - Trent strapped into a sort of dentist’s chair from hell, with robotic devices probing him. Ran across this unexpectedly on some cable access show one day, got freaked out but good.

Scary videos if you recognize the symbols–but fascinating if you understand them.
I’d have to go with Push It by Garbage. I’m not a big fan of the group (or even the song), but that video seriously creeped me out the first time I saw it, alone at about 3am in a dark living room. The nuns with guns, the black-masked man, the scary “Village of the Damned” kids . . . some very surreal imagery, and it looks like the film was aged about 30 years. I liked it so much I taped MTV for a couple hours in hopes that they’d play it again. They did, but I’ve rarely watched it again because it’s so disturbing.
My god I thought I was the only one!!
THe first time I saw it i was alone in the pocanos with my father (he was sleeping) it was dark, late at night in the woods. I almost peed my pants
That was “Happiness is Slavery.” Back in high school my buddies found this video called NIN X-Files (which had the chair video you’re talking about) and we thought we were pretty badass at the time for watching it. One of the videos, “Last”, was meant to look like a homemade snuff film and they pull out the guys teeth and slice him all up. It looked very unprofessional so we kept saying “D’you think it’s REAL??? No, seriously dude- I think that was real…”
Yes, we were so cool back then.
Nine Inch Nails’ Closer, their homage to violation and decay. You know — it’s the “I want to :eek: you like an animal” song.
One that’s weird but not disturbing is True Faith by New Order.
Happiness in Slavery does not feature Trent in the chair, but rather proffesional masochist Bob Flannagan, who built that machine for himself.
There’s a very good movie about him and his life called “SICK: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist” He was a really fascinating guy: a man with a terribly painful disease (CF) who found release in at least being in control of the pain sometimes, and managed to outlive his prognosis of an early death by about 25 years. The movie is actually pretty emotionally heart wrenching, because it develops the very strange relationship Flannagan has with his partner, and very starkly includes footage of him basically dying right in front of you, suffering through his final days. It’s a powerful film about things you might instinctively think are just plain horrible, but are really very human and understandable, even if they are alien to most people.

The movie is fairly graphic (featuring some of his “extreme art” pieces like straight out nailing his penis to a board), but it makes a pretty good case for its own graphicness because the fact is, Flannagan had to live with pain and grossness his entire life no matter what he did.
That isn’t Trent in the chair, but some guy whose name escapes me at the moment.
Scary: the Basement Jaxx one with the monkeys, Where’s Your Head At. It gives me heebies with extra jeebies.
Weird: Bjork’s All Is Full of Love. Strangely graphic lesian robot sex. Or Cocoon, with the scary nipple tendrils. Maybe she watches too much hentai.
Well I obviously type too slow. Thanks for posting that Apos, I can stop wracking my feeble brain now. 
Some of these have already been mentioned, but…
Push it - Garbage
Jeremy - Pearl Jam (there’s one part where Eddie Vedder looks very creepy)
Coffee and TV - Blur (not disturbing, just really cute. That’s the milk carton one)
Oh So Quiet - Bjork (she dances with a mail box. It’s just funny)
Perfect Drug - NIN (This is my favorite. It’s so old gothic weird…does anyone know if its based on something? It makes me think of Edgar Allen Poe.)
Most Foo Fighters videos aren’t disturbing, but are weird in a funny way. However, the video for Low might offend some, since it features Dave Grohl and Jack Black in drag getting sexual.
Well, from what I understand (never saw the film), Debaser by the Pixies seems to fit.
The video for Teardrop by Massive Attack makes my skin crawl. I don’t know why, exactly, but something about a fetus in-utero singing along to a laid back trip-hop tune just gives me the willies.
The ‘Happiness in Slavery’ and ‘Last’ were actually part the “Broken” movie made from the music by the identically-named EP. The entire movie is quite disturbing (the part of Bob Flannagan’s nipple being ripped off in the chair is 100% real, not special effects). The movie was never ‘officially’ released to the public, because Trent Reznor “didn’t want to answer questions about it”, but you can find it easily on the internet if you look in the proper places.
And, KGS is correct about the ‘Jeremy’ video being edited for MTV. According to legend, the fact that the edit was made upset the members of Pearl Jam (Eddie Vedder in particular) so much that they refused to make another music video for over 10 years (I believe the next video they made was for ‘Do The Evolution’, which is somewhat creepy video in it’s own right).
(shoulda posted this in the other reply, sorry)
Another creepy/scary Nine Inch Nails music video is their version of David Bowie’s ‘I’m Afraid of Americans’.
I’m far too old and dorky to have seen most of the videos mentioned in this thread, it seems like music videos have taken a turn for the more graphic since my own days of MTV viewing. But the video that I remember creeping me out the most was Metallica’s One, although that might not really count because the scary/creepy parts were clips from the film Johnny Get Your Gun. Still, the combination of those images and the song never failed to give me chills.

I Believe in a Thing Called Live, by The Darkness
