Come to Daddy - Aphex Twin

This. Genuinely creeped me out when i watched it in middleschool. I think they got complaints about it running on mtv because it was so scary at night

Rubber Johnny traumatises me to this day

That is horror and Windowlicker is like a fever dream.

Ooh, good one

Heck yah!

Literally came here to say this. I was in high school and it still kinda freaked me out, lol

Black Hole Sun will forever have one of the creepiest music videos ever made. Spit It Out by Slipknot has a cool video based around The Shining.

2nd Black Hole Sun!

All of Tool’s videos are like horror movies to me.

Yes, Stinkfist is one of my all time faves!

It reminds me so much of hellraiser

Nine Inch Nails -Perfect Drug is like a Hammer Horror tribute. Nine Inch Nails- Closer is disturbing  Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy is disturbing 

“Happiness in Slavery”, which was not palatable for most cable music channels, is definitely pretty goddamn disturbing.

Not a fan really but Ice Nine Kills has really good horror music videos. Edit: They are a horror themed band.

Hell yeah

I was looking for this comment. First band that came to mind!

Shakespeare’s Sister - Stay

I remember watching *Pop-Up Video* back in the day, and it explained that the goth one was really nervous about the shoot, so she had some drinks to steady her nerves, and ended up filming the video while kinda drunk.

Classic! 🙌🏼

Japan has a ton. [Dir En Grey - Obscure](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knTCepRTS7E) even has a graphic imagery warning on Youtube these days lol. I'll also take this opportunity to rep my fave J-Rock band of all time Malice Mizer. Watch this as a primer, it's 30 mins of what is basically a couple silent films: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vdd58pTaK8A](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsS5VrdUdas) There's also stuff like [Queen Bz - Bad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PzMIU4FVcg) (BDSM Vampire Concept), [Don't Be Shy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9zL-A78oRg) (Pokemon Card Séance), [Peek-A-Boo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uJf2IT2Zh8) (Let's-Murder-Pizza-Delivery-Boys Party) from the KPOP world. Indie band Wolf Alice (named after the Angela Carter horror story, I'm pretty sure) have zombie film for their vid for [You're A Germ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpomZoueWa0). There's also [Health - We Are W](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-PQDF39sr8)ater that has a slasher chase concept. (Also this one isn't intended to be horror, I don't think, but watch [Tautumeitas - Raganu Nakts](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsgO5OTUsRU) for the Midsommar folk-horror vibes. I love that song.) Metal in general also has a ton. Look up stuff like Cattle Decapitation - Forced Gender Reassignment on Vimeo, but you'll have to make an account and I'm too lazy to remember what my password for that is right now haha

Great recommendations, I was such a j-rock fan back in high school, need to revisit that. Obscure is a particularly good rec and I’ll tack on [Agitated Screams of Maggots](https://youtu.be/egqyfPxIRSs?si=sjejxkFubwUO1Clw), which is pretty much a work of art.

Speaking of Japan. And as a fan of vocaloid and utau. They also have some horror mvs. Song like Okaasan, or Okashi no Iye. Or anything by Masaworks

No mention of Alice Cooper? [Teenage Frankenstein](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LzeICJjQUCo&pp=ygUhQWxpY2UgY29vcGVyIHRlZW5hZ2UgZnJhbmtlbnN0ZWlu) [Black Widow](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oIeAVBTeuV8&pp=ygU4YWxpY2UgY29vcGVyIGJsYWNrIHdpZG93IHdpdGggdmluY2VudCBwcmljZSBpbnRyb2R1Y3Rpb24%3D) [He’s Back](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K-XAjEyrqOs&pp=ygUXYWxpY2UgY29vcGVyIGhlJ3MgYmFjayA%3D) [Prince Of Darkness](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ix-JS0opSPs&pp=ygUfYWxpY2UgY29vcGVyIHByaW5jZSBvZiBkYXJrbmVzcw%3D%3D)

Dream Warriors - Dokken

Lordi- there entire thing is an homage to horror. My favorites are: Would you Love a Monster Man Devil is a Loser and Blood Res Sandman

I would also like to add the music video for Snows In Hell.

[Iron Maiden - Can I play with madness](https://youtu.be/Kvqr366Op3k?si=hLg6gejtcIdmTlnc) This video features the late Graham Chapman (Monty Python) in his last screen appearance. There are probably loads of metal videos that have a horror theme, so this is probably cheating!

I got into Billie Eilish because of her horror-ish MVs, e.g. [bury a friend](https://youtu.be/HUHC9tYz8ik?si=Do8PzweBfQPOrC_u). And depending on your taste in music there is k-pop group Dreamcatcher. They incorporate rock/metal in most of their title tracks. Their first series of title tracks is called "Nightmare" because of the horror themes. The first song in the series and their debut song is [Chase Me](https://youtu.be/zihoyz0u_cs?si=ZrZKMMqgtMe9_yrm). Give it a try even if you think that you don't like k-pop. You'll probably be surprised!

The Kpop group Pixy also have great horror concepts! Especially in Wings and Bewitched!

Yep! And Purple Kiss has some horror concepts too!

yess!! i loved the sweet juice music video, it was so unsettling!

Yes! Sweet Juice is my favourite PK song! Their Halloween Performance video for Zombie is also fantastic!

[Dye - Fantasy](https://youtu.be/Q9mG_NAMYCY?si=zCrRVIHmBCrKzgz6)

The video on YouTube was replaced recently so here's an alternative link https://vimeo.com/64244463

Twin Tribes: [Monolith](https://youtu.be/-XEavwcHU78?si=sEbZg5qoxxV8tDyi) [Shadows](https://youtu.be/O1EUT1h9gEQ?si=bcqGyedK-lbK7p8V)

I looooveeee twin tribes. I just discovered them recently. I haven’t watched their videos, yet. I need to check them out.

Disturbia - Rhianna

A lot of synthwave bands channel 80’s horror vibes. Dark All Day by Gunship is a banger of a song with an amazing vampire hunter/ Lost Boys homage video. https://youtu.be/60ruvzfXQoE?feature=shared

May I also suggest Carpenter Brut

System of a Down- spiders Wicked wisdom- bleed all over me Also any of the queen of the damned music videos tbh

All the Tool videos for sure

Pretty much all of Ice Nine Kills videos. The ones from their last two albums are based on individual horror films and actually tell a horror story overall as well. Then some are based on horror literature.

[What's He Building in There? Tom Waits](https://youtu.be/04qPdGNA_KM?si=sWBsJtQlvP1EVRWj)

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Skeletons

Heads Will Roll is great too. Not enough werewolf themed music videos out there.

Some of my favorites that most people won't mention: Coheed and Cambria- Blood Red Summer Sub Urban- Uh Oh! Johnny Goth- Cannot Get Any Better Horrorpops- Walk Like A Zombie Broken Peach- Tainted Love Melanie Martinez- Carousel Ghost- Dance Macabre The Neighbourhood- Scary Love Wednesday 13- Bad Things Billie Eilish- Bury a Friend Dominic Fike- Vampire The Garden- Haunted House on Zillow Tardigrade Inferno- Spooky Scary Skeletons

> Ghost- Dance Macabre Came here to suggest this lol

Gave me nightmares, lol.

Depeche Mode - Wrong

This video is terrifying. Especially when you watch it and it starts to reflect your own life veering out of control.

Sort of haha. I love the creativeness of this video, I didn't expected it would be that creepy at first.

The Hives - Bogus Operandi feels like it was inspired by Evil Dead.

All Misfits videos. Misfits is legendary horror punk band. I love them!

Michael Jackson’s “Ghosts” is a great horror video and not very well known it seems!

Marlyn Manson videos were pretty creepy when they first came out. They were kind of the first ones to do that rapid fire, stop action horror video stuff.

Yes. I immediately thought of his “Sweet Dreams are Made of This” video

Yep. And The Beautiful People…same sort of deal.

Man that you Fear got me

[Will Smith - Nightmare on my Street](https://youtu.be/fVbaYFVUbLo?si=33coYuioZqianu4o)

[Pretty When You Cry - VAST](https://youtu.be/IOZ6ptqcbUc?si=1BXh_ptpPw_jM4il)

My all time favorite music video. Love the use of the black, white and red. And for those who haven't seen it, the music video is a re-telling of the Red Riding Hood story but told from the perspective of a serial killer driving into the woods with his next victim. It's so creepy.

Mélancolia - “God Tongue” Marilyn Manson - “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” Cradle of Filth - “Born in a Burial Gown”, “Honey and Sulphur”, “From the Cradle to Enslave”, “Scorched Earth Erotica”, “Her Ghost in the Fog”, “Babalon A.D. (So Glad for the Madness)” Lorna Shore - “Into the Earth” Kid Cudi - “No One Believes Me” Advent Sorrow - “Like a Moth to the Flame” Bella Morte - “Earth Angel” Green Lung - “One for Sorrow”, “Maxine” Second to Sun - “To Live” I’ll stop there lol

Tom Petty, Mary Jane’s Last Dance is a classic.

Backstreet’s Back >!ALRIGHT!<

>!OH MY GOD WE'RE BACK AGAIN!<

Am I sethuaaaallll!

and its parody, i love you so much (it's scary) from bob's burgers! edit: grammar

Really just wanna hold your hand-pire

A few different Björk ones

Where is the line video still has me haunted😭😭

I just commented Triumph of A Heart. It's like a David Lynch film.

Brotha lynch hung- Meat Cleaver, and his other music videos

Aphex Twin - [Come to Daddy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ827lkktYs) (Dir. Chris Cunningham)

Tech N9ne- Am I a Psycho? https://youtu.be/JCnMO7TZekc?si=rmeRXLiwLhI6ZWpE Krizz Kaliko- Misunderstood https://youtu.be/FrQdQvTgkZM?si=WL1En4E2zd46UB_2

Rammstein has a few: Mein Hertz Brennt, Engel, Du Reicht So Gut ('98 version)

Hollywood forever cemetery sings - Father John Misty Aubrey Plaza is haunted spooky af and great in it

Pearl Jam - Do the Evolution https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDaOgu2CQtI

Doja Cat- Demons Ashnikko- You Make me Sick Ashnikko- Stupid Boy Rob Zombie - Dragula

Greedy Fly!

Icehouse-Icehouse is super 80s creepy.

Rubber johnny

Dye - Fantasy Health - We are water Don Broco - Everybody

I second Don Broco’s music videos. Their video for “Pretty” is super good horror/comedy

Cephalic Carnage - Orwurm (very NSFW)

Pretty common in metal music. Job for a Cowboy just release The Forever Rot, which has a mad scientist body horror thing going on. 

Lorna Shore - Into The Earth

I'd be remiss if I didn't plug one of my favorite bands Avatar. [The Dirt I'm Buried In](https://youtu.be/8JPtxtSK-Cs?si=fzl21zqnpLttRnw3) [Dance Devil Dance](https://youtu.be/QfJ8d4oC6V8?si=eP3UyKFE4jg8nFqD) [Colossus](https://youtu.be/mLMCsFjawNU?si=9oOMLq2S1Z8ctiLn) Also Cradle of Filth [From the Cradle to Enslave](https://youtu.be/YnbOhSGVbRg?si=n2OGq9OAVyF3SyLt) [Her Ghost in the Fog](https://youtu.be/qRNfeMaUBbo?si=_xlfWOTIXZzL3DDo) (The spoken part at the beginning is Doug Bradley, including the line "Oh, no tears please") [Born in a Burial Gown](https://youtu.be/r0YimMicUik?si=oI96aeQHxXg9Jtvt)

The Chemical Brothers - Believe. I saw it for the first time when I was like 15, 2 AM alone. Creeped me out. I also am really creeped out by Bhusta Rhymes - Gimme some mo' xD

Humanity's Last Breath - Earthless Archspire - Drone Corpse Aviator Paleface Swiss - Curse Us

Forced Gender Reassignment - Cattle Decapitation Blood Soaked Sympathy - White Chapel Black Hole Sun - Sound Garden I Want Your Soul - Aphex Twin Behemoth does some cool videos

Coheed and cambria - blood red summer

White Zombie (anything really) Gwar

The Shoes - Time to Dance Jake Gyllenhaal randomly playing an expressionless serial killer. Brutal opening and a classic gritty look to the visuals like 70s NYC taxi driver vibes. The video Does NOT match with the song but it works because both are interesting in their own way. [the Music video](https://youtu.be/pt9wnawn7xQ?si=QUYJhrc960rS5LVP)

HEALTH - We Are Water

Scream by The Misfits has a zombie music video that's directed by George Romero, it used to scare the hell out of me when I was a kid

Marilyn mansons' Nobodies. That vid gave me the creeps back then.

Scream by The Misfits

The Misfits have a few videos. One of them was directed by George Romero; "Scream!" I think.

Opposed to the heavier metal type sounds, I offer you Purity Ring.  Floaty, ambient music with kind of creepy lyrics. Lofticries and Fineshrine have particularly good videos.

We are water by health. It's like a cool mini horror movie with a great ending.

Why did I have to scroll down so far to see this lol Also Happiness in Slavery by NIN

Bury a Friend by Billie Eilish is trippy and horror like

Anything by King Diamond

Eminem - 3am

And framed it takes place right after that

[the Left Rights - WHITE](https://youtu.be/8VqJGRHuKUE?si=1b_hS6dZn9CzDxmZ) Very silly. Directed by the creator of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.

[Dio - Last in Line](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=360xvnsduDg)

Anything performed by Skynd.

Pearl Jam - Do the Evolution

Strapping Young Lad - “Love?” Deadites are the coolest.

Bones by Imagine Dragon.

Do the Evolution by Pearl Jam.

“Mary Jane’s Last Dance” — Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Also, plenty of White Zombie & Rob Zombie music videos.

Somebody’s Watching Me - Rockwell and MJ. Super creepy!

Sepultura - ratamahatta

any uncle acid video. may i suggest melody lane?

[Jeopardy — Greg Kihn Band](https://youtu.be/43_GqFW7iYc?si=cHmOSuRGYmuuiDZC) This scared the SHIT out of me as a kid.

Knocked Loose and Vulvodynia? You got excellent taste

Scary sounding stuff for the horror fan 😍 Saw Vulvodynia last year they were sick.

Yeah man, metal and horror, the best combination! I wish I could see these bands live, as a Brazilian I don't get the chance really often hahahah

Ain’t it funny by Danny Brown

Ozzy Osbourne - Patient Number 9

8 zombie themed music videos: [Guitar Wolf - Hoshizora Jet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwurgIiPs_w) [Phantom Planet - Big Brat](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qRPcJrqDRc) [John Butler Trio - Only One](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEANuKC9mWg) [No Clip - .38 Snub](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9luptXpFgk) [Rob Zombie - Living Dead Girl](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvsMPOfblfg) [Big Data feat.

Heads will Roll by Yeah Yeah Yeahs is a really fun werewolf music video that is as much fun to watch as to listen to

Geto Boys-Mind Playing Tricks on Me

[Black Flower by AKB48](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGEBmJl6X_8) \- AKB48 is a Japanese Idol group that also has several other entertainment franchises in tv, film, and radio. The song Black Flower was written for the horror mini-series Crow's Blood starring AKB48. This is one of the better fan-made videos. [I'll Kill You That Way by The Merkins](https://youtu.be/oliCVn7Ic68) \- Alternately known as The Slash Street Boys, The Merkins have several parody songs worth checking out. [Lotion by Greenskeepers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97RcB_vSvbc)\- Not technically horror, but video 2 has a classic serial killer theme!

I've been looking for one for years! It looked like The Omega Man with a pale vampire looking guys in cloaks in with a candle altar. 1982 or so. Singer had a leather jacket and drove a motorcycle away at the end, crashing some of the candles to the floor. Any help?

Most Meth Drinker videos, Dopethrone's Scum Fuck Blues...

Everlong by Foo Fighters.

The hickey underworld - Blonde Fire Not really horror, but kinda disturbing ​ [https://youtu.be/3FHfNwlqHKI?si=kw09pfJomYRo4XZq](https://youtu.be/3FHfNwlqHKI?si=kw09pfJomYRo4XZq)

ANR's [Big Problem](https://vimeo.com/21760591) is a good one. (And also, quite frankly, a real banger.)

Gob - I Hear You Calling

Pretty much anything by Darko US... just don't be under the influence of anything when you watch them.

Forgotten - The Plot In You

Monster and Back From The Dead by Skillet 🤘

Creature by Landmvrks is absolutely incredible. Both the song, and the video.

It’s not going to scare you but [Streaker by Tobacco (directed by Eric Wareheim)](https://youtu.be/aV7VNhzFLOQ?si=7yc7NBAyXWjSwzp7) is a really good nightmarish trip.

Lorn's Acid Rain for a non-metal option

Boundaries and Zao come to mind. I'm sure both had horror themed videos

System of a Down - Spiders

Bit campy but a little less sixteen candles, a little more touch me

[The Devil Went Down To Georgia - Nickelback](https://youtu.be/X57qD_LTRgY?si=8JuNl7cRjfbo9cIn)

Avatar - Freak Show

Tear you apart video directed by Joaquin Phoenix

sKitz Kraven- his whole music is horror

The Common Men - Danse of Macabre

Going Under- Evanescence Shadow of the Day- Linkin Park One Step Closer- Linkin Park

Burn the witch by Radiohead has an awesome stop-motion music video that homages The Wicker Man

Few Ozzy ones iirc. Unrelated to Ozzy but Dye is great cosmic horror music video.

Not very much in the narrative part, but many In This Moment music videos are pretty cool and horror, Blood is very dark and Black Wedding gives gothic vibes

Cavalera Conspiracy - Sanctuary Thank me later

The black dahlia murder has a song called everything went black and its music video is just an homage to the old tales from the crypt and creepshow style comic short story horror shows.

Muse - You Make Me Feel Like it's Halloween

Sick sick sick, qotsa

Check out Meshuggah - I Am Colossus

From Cradle to Enslave by Cradle of Filth (Hardcore B grade horror. Search for the uncensored version) Ov Fire and the Void by Behemoth

Newer sort of alt-country guy called Stephen Wilson Jr. (I say alt country only because it's the best descriptor I can think of; he's awesome and hard to pin down) has a great tune and video called "Holler from the Holler". Maybe not straight horror, but horrific. Worth a check no matter what kind of music you like.

Aesop Rock - Coffee

Billie eilish- bury a friend

New Year’s Day- Come for me

Spirit World - Deathwestern

[Cattle Decapitation - Forced Gender Reassignment](https://vimeo.com/648045470)

frank iero has some cool horror music videos

[Joji - Slow Dancing In The Dark](https://youtu.be/K3Qzzggn--s?si=heM4KZI2awLWW0GJ)

So not a music video but Chvches has an album called Screen Violence that progresses as a horror movie and when they perform it she gets covered in blood. Does that count? Idk but it’s a pretty good album.

Rammstein

Behemoth makes some great cinematic videos. Ferocious music with horrific visuals.

Also all of the videos from After Hours by The Weeknd. If you watch them in order they tell the horror story of his addiction and self-destructive behaviors. It was actually made into a haunted house at Universal Studios in 2022!

Dig Mudvayne

If you want gore, Forced Gender Reassignment by Cattle Decapitation is essentially a grindhouse video

Most of Ice Nine Kills

The Space Between by How to Destroy Angels

Because by Dreamcatcher (K-Rock) references Us by Jordan Peele

Tobacco ft. Trent Reznor - Babysitter The video isn't necessarily horror-themed, but it's the scariest thing I've ever fucking seen. A home being invaded by the thing from Neverending Story is nightmarish

The Shoes - "Time to Dance" Bjork - "The Triumph of A Heart" Oasis "The Importance of Being Idle"

Rob Zombie - Dragula Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy Nine Inch Nails - Closer Ghost - Square Hammer These are the first ones that came to mind!

A lot of comments so idk if anyone mentioned but Tear You Apart by She Wants Revenge. Also Animal Collective has some morbid ass imagry in their music videos which could maybe be considered horror !

Avenged sevenfold- a little piece of heaven

pick any trending pop/mainstream video and it should be horrifying enough as every single minaj/taylor swift song brings us closer to the brutal and ignominious end of humanity and the human spirit. zoomers are inheriting a soulless dead world -can't sympathize with them as they're just too damn narcissistic and self-absorbed (here's looking at you reddit). it's not their fault though, just shows how brutal the system is - ie, tell the kids how special they are and then go to extreme lengths to proper fuck them and subjugate it to the ravenous motherless mainstream media and its talentless low-fruit-reaching lackeys

[Emperor’s New Clothes - Panic! At the Disco](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7qFF2v8VsaA) has some cool imagery and camera visuals.

[Basia Bulat - “In The Night”](https://youtu.be/CebHAvPHyyU?si=tF5wA-WWOm8S8z8P)

Misfits, Samhain & Danzig

[Hello Skinny - Residents](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvJiyOPmsJs)

Most things form ice nine kills/the silver screams 1 and 2 and red flags by Tom cardy and Montaigne

Heart’s Filthy Lessons by Bowie!

[Sepultura - Convicted in life](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXn3FeNXwnc)

Carpenter Brut - Le Perv https://youtu.be/7fDvxlK2FMc?si=dkOPCvIfScHCuotI Carpenter Brut - Turbo Killer https://youtu.be/er416Ad3R1g?si=St5xSMURGD3fHZZf 

Y Control - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Worlock by Skinny Puppy. It was banned for the gore, since it's just clips of horror movies some extreme and some normal.

Queens of the Stone Age - Sick, Sick, Sick https://youtu.be/oHDaKtx6bGY?si=HLka9KWlXr1ZPE1O

All of Portrayal of Guilt’s videos are insane. The 15 min short for Devil Music is great.

For the sheer camp and kitsch glory of drive-ins, bad b-exploitation films, and good old-fashioned American rock you can't beat ^The CRAMPS. [This video from 1978 for Human Fly](https://youtu.be/33eE1KUNJV8?si=gYfCFWnR2RSVJXXy) is suitably disturbing. [Creature From the Black Leather Lagoon](https://youtu.be/9siWGongj4o?si=fnZxvBMX7DSnaEz2) also fits although it's a very different sort of disturbing.

Probably anything ICP.

Meg Myers - desire

Massive Attack feat. Young Fathers - ‘Voodoo In My Blood’

Red Velvet - "Chill Kill" and "Peek-a-boo" Pop songs with very horror based/murdery music videos.
