Im not talking about music you would hear in a haunted house, but music that just has a haunted or really dark feeling to it. Something like Joy Divison in some cases sounds haunting to me. Anyone else have any suggestions? I feel in a dark mood.

Moonlight Sonata By Beethoven

I think, mainly, because it was played at the start of the game Shadowman on the Nintendo 64 (release in '99 i think?) and that's a creepy game, so i get the connotation there.

That said, i've heard the full part of it before and it acctually gets more cheerful, but i like the creepy piano at the start, which (come to think of it) is creepy nevertheless.

Speaking of which, i gotta get more of this magical symphony stuff off of my dad. It's money

'Sleepy Hollow' by Korn is a very haunting sounding. As a matter of fact, they have a lot of dark sounding songs, but that one I mentioned is particularly dark.

Edit. Now that I see that you like joy division, you might like HIM or even Fugazi. They have a similar style and have that dark sound.

Nefir

Anything by Elend, especially Umbersun. That album is positively demonic. Perhaps even terrifying.

For something more fitting the "haunting" but not "haunted" description, try the Damnation album by Opeth.

Ya, lots of Opeth stuff is kinda 'haunting' ..

Emperor is kinda like that too. Lots of shit you'd hear in bad dracula movies from the 50's and 60's.

Anything off the Silent Hill soundtracks is what I would call "haunting". Most of the stuff is really good, too.

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

It's not a doom n' gloom kinda haunting, more reverent.

Redjake

Totally agree. All the songs on any of those soundtracks is dementing and weird.....

I almost forgot, Stabbing Westward. Weird ass haunting music right there.

napalm jazz...terrifying

I've found that cranking up the intro to Eraser (The song, not the movie) while driving alone at night gives a nice creepy feeling.

Jadey

Bach - Toccata and Fugue In D Minor

Quite a bit of Type O Negative stuff I would classify as haunting. Try "Black No. 1" or thier cover of "Summer Breeze".

Godspeed You Black Emporer! - Infinity (the entire album)

concurr! that was done by the Kronos Quartet btw

check out Aphex Twin's "Selected Ambient Works Vol 2" ... it's a two disc set.. all very beautiful, most of it deeply haunting... check out the first track of the first CD, Cliffs

venusinfurs

Faith and the Muse...some older London after midnight...The Shroud....hell, try gothic rock, ethereal, darkwave, deathrock, gothabilly...etc...

iamtheone

The Haunting, by Type O Negative. Great song!

Too obvious? "Haunted" by Poe. Best listened to in conjunction with reading "House of Leaves", by her brother.

morricone scores, and john zorn - the big gundown (where zorn "re-interprets" morricone's music in his freaky ass way...)
amon tobin is like a dark squarepusher
and venetian snares - winter in the belly of a snake is like joy division plus hardcore drill n bass

Stompy

Cryptorchid by Marilyn Manson

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails: The song, and the remix "The Bottom" on Further Down the Spiral is a good one. Hell, the whole CD.

The Frail (Version) on Things Falling Apart (NIN)

Delirium Cordia - Fantomas. The entire CD is a 74 minute long song, but it's definitely some of the most twisted stuff I've ever heard. About 8 or 9 minutes into it, there's this very dark music with what sounds like a dentist picking away at someone's teeth.. or scraping of flesh off of a bone. It's described as "Possibly the soundtrack to a very dark, fever induced nightmare." Definitely worth checking out.

If you want dark and moody, check out the Black Aria album by Glenn Danzig. Theres no lyrics to it. Just straight up dark sounding stuff. I love that friggen album.

Eviltree

Climbing up the walls by Radiohead has a bit of an eerie feeling to it. Don't know if you would consider it to be 'haunted' but as far as I know, its about the fears of the people in a mental asylum, where Thom (lead singe) worked before forming the band

Redjake

get some Stabbing Westward going on. I forgot about them.

I suggest What Do I Have to Do, Save Yourself, and Shame. Shame is more rock-induced (or something like it). The first two are winners for what you're lookin' for.

I dunno, I thought Mad World was kinda haunting. Also, I find the songs played at the orgy in Eyes Wide Shut to be pretty damn creepy. Gives me the chills just thinking about it...

kl0pper

thats not bad
but naked city - absinthe is so much better

soccerchamp76

I would like to add Mad World as well.
