Shak is absolutely right. I'm not particularly sure if there is an artist that makes music that is more eerie and creepy than Scott Walker. "Jesse" from The Drift scares me shitless.
i second Sunn0))) .. I'd also have to say Tom Waits and this is entirely due to my first impression of him.. saw his music video for some song off of Alice before knowing anything about him and was almost convinced that the boogeyman had surfaced and released an album

However, I master the trick just like Nixon Causin terror, quick damage ya whole era
Dungen Ta Det Lugnt can get eerie at times, especially the re-occuring theme of spoken word over a bar-room piano track that repeats itself several times through the album.

Tom Waits, I agree with but he is an extraordinary artist and makes music that is creative and appealing even though it is eerie.

One addition that is pretty weird and definitely eerie is Filmaker/Artist/Musician/Egomaniac Vincent Gallo's When album. It is actually a really, really good album that sounds like it was recorded on warped, vintage equipment with a singer that sounds like a weird eldery woman (Gallo). Whether you like him or not, I think this would certainly qualify as strange and eerie.

I agree on "The Drift". I have listened to a lot of stange shit in my days, but I have actually had to stop "The Drift" a couple of times when the uneasy feelings just become too much. For me, it is not one single song that does it, but the whole album taken as a whole. I can listen to the first songs just fine, but somewhere around the middle of the album I start to want to look behind me all the time, just in case... I would say that it is a soundtrack to paranoia.

A lot of Excepter's work is pretty creepy in my opinion (see: Shattered Skull or Whirl Wind)
I definitely second whoever said Here Comes The Indian...Infant Dressing Table continuously gives me the shivers.
While mostly instrumental, some of Mouthus's songs have strange chanting paired with their always creepy drones and guitar shreaks. For an example I'd say "Storms" is pretty eerie.

yeah, i would definitely agree with Mouthus. I really like them for that reason.
okay, so i'm sure it's already been mentioned, but i think Black Dice is pretty creepy at times.....i'll give you an example....this past weekend, i ate entirely too many pot brownies, and we riding to a movie in my friend's car, and the song "smiling off" (track 2 off of Broken Ear) was playing as we were driving up to the theater. right around the 1:45 minute mark through the 5:00 minute mark, we basically flipped our shit. the chanting and drums that come in during that time....cripes, it's creepy. maybe it was the drugs.

Yeah, I think Broken Ear Record is their most claustrophobic and unnerving record.
Oh, and just a warning: don't eat too many brownies and watch the video...it scares me sober...
I don't see any good reason that this thread is restricted to non-instrumental music, so I'm gonna break that rule and say that Inade makes the creepiest, darkest shit I've ever heard. They belong to the Dark Ambient genre, which is basically the scariest genre ever. I get in dark moods all the time though, and this music is perfect for those times. Anybody else know of any good dark ambient stuff?
