The scariest music video ever: Aphex Twin's "Come To Daddy." (You have to wait for a short ad on that link, but the video is high quality... lower-quality YouTube clip here).→[More:] The part starting at about 4:15 makes goosebumps run up my arms every time I see it. So freaking creepy.

I'm not a fan of his music, but I love this amazing easter egg in Windowlicker.

I have to disagree with you, BP. This has to be the scariest music video ever. By far. Scroll down for video.

Well, I won't sleep a wink tonight. Thanks a lot, jan.

In case anyone isn't familiar with Aphex Twin, all the kids in that video have his face, which is the creepy part for me.

I remember this video when I used to watch 120 minutes years ago. I love this video for the sheer creepiness.

I FUCKING CANNOT STAND APHEX TWIN. HIS MUSIC AND THIS VIDEO ARE THE PERFECT EPITOME OF EVERYTHING THAT FREAKS ME OUT.

Why, Beeps, why? Why do you do this to me?

It depends on if you have the morbid curiosity to enjoy Quay Brothers films for the know of it, liek David Lynch.
Give it a chance. Not the music though. That's Cro Mag wash rag.

Shn\hhh, kinda stoned.

Mine... (well, that I can recall) Aphex Twin - Drukqs. A 30-second promo piece. Just long enough to go WTF was that!?
The Residents - Hello, Skinny.
Skinny Puppy - Worlock. (caution - disturbing scenes throughout).

Oh, and this one is surreal and creepy. A vid by Chris Cunningham (who did Aphex Twin's 'Rubber Johnny', and Bjork's 'All is Full of Love', among others). Leftfield and Afrika Bambaataa - Afrika Shox.

Oh, God! The Residents! Aieeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Why do human beings have the mental electricity that creates music like the Residents and Aphex Twin make?

LT - just 'cause it's odd? There are odd things all over. I'm sure between me an' BP, we could come up with music that'd scare your pants off. You've probably never heard Coil, or Current 93. Most of the Residents' stuff never struck me as being creepy, and A.T. is weird 'cos of the vids. Coil are creepy because they know exactly what they're doing with creepy - same with oh, say, Lustm&0slash;rd (early industrial bands). There are creepy, evil things in the world, and hey, someone's gotta write music about 'em! Sure, it's not everyone's thing, but the world (and MeCha) would be less colourful without it. ;)
Having said all that, to Q.E.D. my point, here's Current 93 doing KillyKillKilly (A Fire Sermon).
