Creepy, pt. 2: Twenty Music Videos

Following up to that horror post from Halloween... tonight I've been searching out music videos that could fall into the "horror" category. Here are a handful, beginning with the most obvious choice for the category (it's always on everyone's "scary" list), and then including some things that, while not immediately fear-inducing, certainly have nightmarish images scattered throughout.

(1) Aphex Twin, "Come To Daddy":

(2) Skinny Puppy, "Worlock" (not for the squeamish):

(3) His Name Is Alive, "Can't Go Wrong Without You" (directed by those gods, the Brothers Quay):

(4) The Hitmen, "Bates Motel" (I was looking for this video for AGES since seeing it way back in 1985, and somebody finally posted it on YouTube recently... thank you, thank you):

(5) Yeah Yeah Yeahs, "Y Control":

(6) Daft Punk, "Prime Time of Your Life":

(7) Squarepusher, "Come On My Selector":

(8) Interpol, "Evil":

(9) Metric, "Monster Hospital":

(10) Aesop Rock, "Coffee":

(11) Skinny Puppy (again), "Dig It":

(12) Leftfield & Afrika Bambaataa, "Afrika Shox":

(13) The Knife, "Silent Shout":

(14) Ultravox, "The Thin Wall":

(15), Einstürzende Neubauten, "Sabrina":

(16) Portishead, "Only You":

(17) The Horrors, "Sheena Is a Parasite":

(18) Nine Inch Nails, "Happiness In Slavery":

(19) Coil, "Tainted Love":

and (20) Aphex Twin (again), music for Chris Cunningham's Rubber Johnny:
