  Wind up music boxes. I don’t know why, but regardless of the melody they play, I find them super creepy.

    Because, for centuries, they were, for most people, they only source of music in their life, other than a live performance. And the last few decades, they are used exclusively to create a creepy atmosphere in horror and thriller films.

    It’s the association

    I find wind up boxes fine until they slow down as the spring runs out of stored energy. The slow notes alter the tune and the anticipation of the next note builds without being clear when it will finally end.

  The THX sound that used to play before some movies. It’s starts low and gradually gets louder to show the “sound quality.” As a kid it scared the crap out of me, now it’s just anecdotal but I can’t tell you why it creeps me out.

  People that occasionally make that techno-like ‘untz untz untz’ sound from their mouth.

  It’s not so much ‘creepy’ though, but it starts to trigger my gag reflex. To me, it sounds like a cat trying to vomit…

    So Bloodhound Gangs Uhn-Tiss song is a party stopper for you?

  The whole idea of internet “followers” which has always sounded incredibly like stalking.

  I was somewhat scared of driving after dark because it always felt like there’s a ghost watching me from the backseats…

  I personally find the children’s poems of Maurice Sendak creepy, but I think that’s intentional. To my mind, it’s Carol King singing “Chicken Soup with Rice” all cheerful that’s misreading the vibe.
