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.
