Scariest Songs Ever Written

A song about a little boy getting constantly raped by his parents. How could you get any worse than that its just terrible

Way better than Down With The Sickness. So creepy yet so sad - TheDarkOne_221b

It's creepy but I love it. Poor Jonathan though. - DarkBoi-X

This song caused lots of people to believe that Rick Davis (Jonathan Davis's father) is a child molester. Although his son has stated many times that this song was written about a family friend who sexually abused him. When a 12-year old Jonathan tried to turn to his family, he said, they ignored him. Neither Jonathan or Rick will say who the person was, though both say it was a woman.

My opinion has been changed. Great job, Eminem. You've officially managed to give me nightmares for the rest of my life.

Boomers

Not even scary

Me when I learn that my girlfriend is a TikTok thot - DarkBoi-X

I listened to this one while having Beatles songs played on shuffle. No. Just...no.

The whole song is a nightmare.

I regret listening to this song backwards

Has anyone heard this song backwards? Holy crap, is it scary! Near the beginning it has a little girl saying, 'Satan, look at me please'... HOLY-- I couldn't sleep without a light for a week! I am scarred for life.

This is the scariest thing ever just watch it or don't you'll have to have sleep with the lights on nightmares for life from this agh help me.

I know we all hate Justin Bieber but his songs are not scary. They are HORRIBLE. But it does not mean they are scary. Even if you are just kidding its NOT SCARY. the only scary part is that he sounds like a girl. And I am serious.

Nightmare fuel

You can do better than this hah hah

"It gets very descriptive and has awful imagery depicted. This should be number 4 at least.

It's creepy Eminem takes his daughter to the beach with his ex wife Kim's dead body in the trunk and when they get there Eminem disposes her body in the ocean and making up excuses to make sure his daughter doesn't find out that her mom is dead.

Basically the sequel to Kim. Eminem takes his daughter with him to dispose Kim's dead body into the ocean. Trying his hardest to no let his daughter know that she's dead.

Talking about rolling his wife off a bridge after killing her.
Love Eminem's music but this song, NOT one of my favorites!

Disturbed isn't scary. - BlueTelegraph

I like this it has the type of beat that I love to listen to

Not scary at all - TheDarkOne_221b

Scary? It's pretty badass, to be honest.

Good and catchy song, not scary.

Not scary but a GOAT song

Not at all scary, the video is disturbing but not scary at all

Not scary at all. Seriously.

The ending though. - FremantleDockers

This song is great. I don’t understand why it’s on this list though?

When you sneak a midnight snack and you don't want to wake anyone up

This song has a demonic meaning to it

This song isn't scary at all its just weird.

Creepiest song I've ever heard.

How is this not higher?

The song's roots are even more terrifying than the song. The story, for one, tells the tale of a burn victim whose face and body looked like raw hamburger meat. The music video accompanying it is just as bad, with close-ups of the woman's face and the grayscale hospital, but the video that inspired the song itself brings things to a whole new level - the real footage of two men holding a woman down and killing her baby, turning it into hamburger meat, and forcing the woman to eat it. The song's roots are even more terrifying than the song.

Scarier than any of the other songs on here.

Yeah, this is just insanely creepy. Song about a burn victim who looks like hamburger... Delicious.

For everyone saying this isn't scary: this song is about a man who murders his girlfriend because he fears that he might lose her. Then he preserves her body and has sex with it. Then eventually, the corpse comes back from the dead and kills him in the same way. - DoroExploro13

This song isn't creepy, it's awesome, just like inside the fire

Revolution 9 is just a bunch of creepy white noise but it isn't necessarily scary. This song tells one of the most messed up stories, but it is an awesome song - Tylerlangford1234

Than scared the yellow jeans out of me

The fact that I had to add this myself is just ridiculous, I thought it was top 10 scariest songs not your top 10 favourite songs. Songs like Dead Skin Mask by Slayer are quite creepy but this is genuinely terrifying. - ROOOAARIMAPOTATO

I call it Sauron metal.

Sounds like the entrance to hell.

This is from another dimension.

I love rocking out to this song, but I'll admit that the child abuse lyrics that David screams are disturbing.

It's like the Heavy Metal version of Kim by Eminem. But instead focuses on Child Abuse rather than Domestic Abuse.

That bridge is so disturbing
I cannot listen to this song... - Drum_Solo

This really isn't scary at all. There are random deftones songs where Chino would let out a high pitch scream. This is definitely one of my favorites from their debut. - Metalmaniakkk

I have to admit it is a pretty creepy song. Especially when he screams like he possessed.

So scary when a strange voice start to sing and the worst, is it that we don't know when! So creep! - Lflogomen

The scream makes me smile every time

It is about a teenager named billy, who gives up on his life to join a gang, sell and do drugs, and commit other crimes. Then, one day he meets his gang, the bring in a woman, billy takes her upstairs and stomps on her face til he breaks her jaw. His gang later comes up and they all kick her til they break her ribs then beat her up even more. After that they each take turns raping her. Billy takes a new.22 gun and points it at her head, and then finds out it was his mom. He shoots her in the head;killing her, and then is horrified that it was his mother so he commits suicide. After that, Immortal Technique tells a very creepy yet short story about devils, but anyway, amazing rapping.

I'm not the biggest rap fan but this song is horrifying The ultimate fall from grace And a warning to beware evil. Its all fun and games until you are staring into the eyes of a loved one

Scariest song in the world... I have literally never heard any scarier song than this. Nothing else on this list even comes close to this...

I umm.. I didn't know why life was after hearing this song... My mouth couldn't close once I heard he killed his mom. What did I just hear... This is just... DISTURBING

This song is based on the real life story of body snatcher Ed Gein. Gein would always go to graveyards and dig up the dead bodies of people so that he can use their skin and bones as decorations for his house.

Gein was also the inspiration for the norman bates, buffalo bill, and leatherface.

I love this song, but I definitely will admit that those moans of suffering at the end were pretty damn freaky!

Creepy, but normal by Slayer standards.

This song just gives me shivers, especially the very beginning with the sound that's like a distorted organ and that haunting voice of Amy Lee. This should be higher. - jmoulds98

I love this song! Not to creepy though...

I love Evanescence bu this song is very scary and disturbing.

This song is awesome and so is curtain

I would play this song while watching the new movie Us lol

Very disturbing.

The most uncomfortable song I've ever heard.

This song is a masterpiece that brings you to a place you only want to go to once a year

Makes Revolution 9 sound completely normal.

This song is scary. 1st it starts with the creepiest use of the triangle ever! Then it has Tom (I think) chanting "Lah" like he's having an organs or something then it sounds like he's struggling or being possessed then you hear heavy breathing with the sound of a bada** guitar in the background with a random hit from the scariest gong ever. Then there's the gibberish, high pitched voices, messed up violin (or fiddle) and the voices at the end. This song should be in the top 3. - SirSkeletorThe3rd

OH MY GOD! This song is a total collection of nightmarish sounds and collaberation of what Hell would sound like. - fireinside96

This has to be the scariest song ever.

The song as a whole is great, especially Azealia's rapping, but the part of the song where she screams the lyrics is slightly disturbing... not to mention the video in which she has mouths instead of eyes.

Scary

It's a song about the nursery rhymes we used to sing as kids. Although we didn't know what they originally meant. The nursery rhymes we sand had evil stories behind them.

For example, Everyone is so happy singing 'Ring Around the Rosie' but it's really about the Black Plague.

This was my first KoRn song. I heard it when I was about 10 and it scared me to death. I thought the the band was evil and they were living in my basement (I'm dead serious). Now I'm a teenager and they are my favorite band.

After listening to this song, I'm now starting to think how messed up our childhoods were back then.

Good God, this bad makes Mayhem look like Linkin Park on terms of heaviness and creepiness - SirSkeletorThe3rd

This entire song is so creepy. Distorted samples, an eerily calm and kinda beautiful bass line, and when the vocals start, oh boy, just be prepared. Oh yeah, and this song is also 15 minutes long.

Great song. - Cyri

This song so so scary. Sounds of screams at the beginning and a creepy bass and bass drum rift. Corey's screams, scary vocals, and bada** guitar rifts. Around the end basically Corey goes mental and then calms down but is still crazy. Also while recording this song, Corey was cutting himself up everywhere. - SirSkeletorThe3rd

I actually remember as a 10 year old kid, this song actually made me hide under my blankets at night. (I didn't know who they were back at that time) When I looked up the song's backstory when was 17, I started to get goosebumps. - Mumbizz01

This song is basically about the psychotic rage that is hidden within all of our minds, and after being pushed to a certain limit... we will eventually snap and let it all loose. Now that's super scary!

This is actually the reversed audio of one of the band members, Sid, screaming into a microphone the day after his grandfather died.

This is second album Iowa's intro and so damn HORRIBLE!

Is this even a song

Adding it to my Halloween playlist that lasts for like 4 days now.

Not THAT scary, but backwards it's pretty disturbing. But the music video can give nightmares MAYBE(Due to "Magical Mystery Boy")

It's about a cannibal on the deep web - DarkBoi-X

Based on a cannibalistic murder that actually took place in Germany in 2001. The song is written from the victim's perspective. I think that's all it takes to understand the sheer creepiness of the song, even if you don't understand the language.

I dare you to translate it from german and not get disturbed or scared. As if the terrifying backward strings and heavy as a boulder guitar riffs aren't freaky enough.

This song talk about the history of a men that make a date just to eat the other men and he agrees, this really happened in Germany.

Hearing Dave emit agonizing screams to an industrial sounding metal track is terrifying enough, but those zombie groans he makes halfway through are enough to give you nightmares.

Alestor Crowleys ghost comes and brings you to hell... 'nuff said. -

I personally love this song, and my mother said it sounded like graveyard music

Ozzy really is the prince of darkness! O/ - Tylerlangford1234

This song is amazng, to be honest. Not scary. But I do remember waking u from a nightmare related to it the night I heard it.

Not scary, it's just disturbingly catchy!

FIRE UP A CHAINSAW
HACK THEIR HEADS OFF - Metalmaniakkk

Never heard it but never hurts to

This song is similar to Daddy but with a different plot. Jon also cries at the end of this song as well. Very dark.

Actually it was Jon's stepmother who treated him badly, so he wrote this song about wanting to kill her.

Based on how Jon's mother used to mistreat him so badly. He wrote a song about wanting to kill her.

A song that's not about love. But about a stalker. I mean... Every Breath you take. Every move you make. Every bond you break. Every smile you fake, I'll be watching you.

And how did I get here from searching John Deacon, anyway? :-S

Slendermans song play this while watching slender

This song is a cover, so if you want to judge the lyrics then do so to the original pop song.

It creepy it talk about what bad people would do to a desisper person

This song IS creepy

Don't get me wrong people. I love this song! I think it's awesome. It's just that I find it kinda unsettling. How the creepy music's playing and how the lyrics are "some of them want to abuse you, some of them want to be abused."

I didn't find the song itself to be scary, but the lyrics and meaning behind it is terrifying. - Gruunge

This is not scary whoever voted for this y did u vote for this

THIS IS SO SCARY HE RHYMES HEAD STRAIGHT WITH IMPREGNATE AND THE UMAGE OF HIM WITH A SPICE GIRL GAVE ME INSOMNIA HORRIBLE KANYE WEST SONG BUT STILL THE VOCALS FROM SELENA GOMEZ WERE SCARY
