What are the creepiest music videos you've seen?

I nominate the video to "Sober" by Tool.

"Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden.

Thriller.Coolest ever.

also a bit creepy

"Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden.
Excellent video. I don't like the song, but I'd gladly sit through it just to see the video.

I want to break free - queen. Not so much creepy as completely "freddie"...and thusly amazing

Blanche - 'Someday'

check it out yourself: http://www.ugo.com/channels/music/video/player.asp?articleID=15786

can we change "sober from tool" to "any video from tool"? These guys dont know how to not make a creepy video

U2 - Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me.

The good kind of creepy, mind you.

Either 'Dead Bodies Everywhere' by Korn or 'Fuck You Like An Animal' by... umm... I think its Nine Inch Nails isn't it? Not so much creepy (although they are that too) as seriously weird and completely messed up. Two videos I could quite definitely have done without seeing. (And also the songs themselves aren't all that.)

Mann Gegen Mann- Rammstein
it has naked men battling each other with dildos...

'Fuck You Like An Animal' by... umm... I think its Nine Inch Nails isn't it?)

Song is called "Closer", but you're right on the band.

i change my vote...

I forget the name of the actual song but it's by Aphex Twin. It's got some ghoul-like creature "screaming" people to death in it. Creeped me out no end:(

Come to Daddy by Aphex Twin. Seconded.

Closer by Nine Inch Nails is definatly creepy...espcially the fully un-edited version with the pig head and the crucified monkey and etc...>_>

Smack my Bitch Up by Prodigy is as well.

Come to Daddy by Aphex Twin. Seconded.

I have to vote for that one too. That thing is really disturbing.

You should see his other work.

If you think Nine Inch Nails' "Closer" is fucked up, you should see the Broken video. I've been searching for the last hour, but I can't find a working link...

Anyways, it's about 20 minutes long and was never officially released. It's very grainy and low quality. It's essentially a fake snuff film. Some guy kidnaps somebody, ties them up, tortures them, and forces him to watch NIN music videos before killing them at the climax. Oh, and the videos themselves are quite creepy. A toilet flushes, the camera follows the pipes, ultimately leading to pump connected to a man in a watertight suit convulsing while being forcibly drowned. A man eats a steak in a small room as more and more flies begin swarming on his face and the steak, but he continues eating it along with the flies. A man sits down in a chair and is gruesomely disemboweled by metal claws and machinery, including genital mutilation. When it was originally leaked, police got involved because they thought it was real. Crazy shit.

Aaaaah - that's the bunny. As you may have noticed I wasn't overly fond of the song anyway, which is my excuse for my ignorance of it's details :D

* (Our Love's in) Jeopardy by the Greg Kihn Band
While Weird Al's parody "I lost on Jeopardy" is probably better known now, this early MTV vid was in heavy rotation with the zombies at the wedding CREEPED MY 10 YEAR OLD SELF OUT back in '83 or so.

* David Bowie's "Day In Day Out".
Nothing less than a three minute run though someone's life falling apart.

* Anything with Bette Midler.
(shiver)

Honorable mention: Pearl Jam's "Evolution". Not actually creepy, but really, really disconcerting.

BTW: I found this a while back... http://www.platypuscomix.net/videos/toptwenty.html
"Remember back when MTV used to be cool?
Yeah, I don't either. But that might be because I didn't get to grow up in the era when they WERE. After finding a tape of the "Top 20 Videos of 1984" special, I'll have to say I'm insanely jealous of Generation X right now. It's just sad that music videos as an art are confined to their generation. Videos are still around, but barely. No one really cares about them anymore, so there's no effort to make them showy or impressive."
I find it a little funny, (or maybe he's showing his age here) that the author doesn't know (and didn't look on google) to see that Thriller came out in 1983...

...that would be the Happiness In Slavery video.
If you can, procure the Closure vid compilation of NIN. That's got it.

What are the creepiest music videos you've seen?

I nominate the video to "Sober" by Tool.
Procure Salival in some fashion, and then watch the video
Prison Sex
That thing gives me chills just THINKING about it. Especially dealing with how personal it is.
Oh, btw, it's a video i'd recommend Lunatic Goofballs NOT watching. *nods emphatically*

I've got it.
I used to have Closure, but, like the idiot i am, i loaned it to someone or someone stole it, and voila~.

"Cocoon" by Bjork

It features a nude Bjork with what looks like red rope licorice being excreted from her nipples.

I LOVE that little weirdo!!! :D
....except when she's getting off airplanes. Then she's kinda crabby ....


Oh wait, maybe those WERE her nipples ... too much nursing .... :eek:

That song brings back some memories. After picking up my Prom date back in high school, that song was on the radio when I turned the car on..................awkward.

Come to Daddy by Aphex Twin. Seconded.

Definitely the creepiest music vid I've ever seen. Mutated, bearded schoolgirls. **shudder**

While we have Aphex on the list, "Donkey Rhubarb" is fairly disturbing.

I actually quite like the video for Radiohead "Just".

I nominate the video to "Sober" by Tool.

Agh! I saw this thread title and was going to nominate that! Out of my head, you! :p

"Prison Sex", too...Tool videos rock.

The Knife - Silent Shout. (http://svt.se/svt/road/Classic/shared/mediacenter/index.jsp?lpos=extra_0&d=32479&lid=puff_352603) (Just click "The Knife - Silent Shout.")

It gives me the heebeejeebees every time.

also on aphex twin: the david firth flash animation for milkman.
nothing david firth makes is sane

While Im not a huge fan, most of Marylin Manson's videos give Satan the Heebie-Jeebies.

i'd say macs, but i doubt that satan could ever pull of something quite that evil :p

Anything heavy metal (I'm a wuss:D ).

I like Madonna but her new music video *sorry* is just plain weird and stupid.:rolleyes:

Boo and hiss to you. It's great - it's just about having fun, dancing. That's what her latest album is all about.

Don't know if they qualify as creepy, but I've always liked Radiohead's vids.

Oh, I don't know. The video for Prison Sex was kind of nice.

Either 'Dead Bodies Everywhere' by Korn or 'Fuck You Like An Animal' by... umm... I think its Nine Inch Nails isn't it? Not so much creepy (although they are that too) as seriously weird and completely messed up. Two videos I could quite definitely have done without seeing. (And also the songs themselves aren't all that.)
The NIN song is called closer and yes, it's a rather creepy video. Especially since it combines animal body parts, S&M imagery and a little girl.

While Im not a huge fan, most of Marylin Manson's videos give Satan the Heebie-Jeebies.
I was tripping when I first saw a Manson video. It was his cover of Sweet Dreams. I wanted to punch the TV out.
