I would like to hear some more really eerie music.

Off the top of my head: Penderecki - Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima Ligeti - Lux aeterna, Atmospheres (more for the Kubrick associations than for any intrensic reason, since this is beautiful music...) Maxwell Davies - Eight Songs for a Mad King Diamanda Galas - just about anything that features her original music rather than cover versions, but in particular, Plague Mass and Schrei X David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti's Industrial Symphony No. 1 gives me the willies, too, but that's as much for what you see as what you hear. I'm sure there's lots more, but those come readily to mind. I did an article on scary music for Halloween, and was amazed by how much purportedly scary music just seemed lame and tepid - first and foremost the 'Hellraiser' soundtrack music composed by Coil and turned down by Clive Barker for being "too scary" - pah.
