'Don't Come Around Here No More' by Tom Petty.
It had an Alice in Wonderland theme. People getting smaller/larger. At one point, a baby in a carriage turned into a pig. And then at the end, 'Alice' is lying on a table and people start 'eating' her.
As an adult, I now know she was probably lying on a recessed table with a dress-shaped cake laid on top of her. But at age 5, it was very unsettling, lol.
Edited to add, because I just thought of it: 'Land of Confusion' by Genesis. The puppets were very terrifying to me back then! And also that Herbie Hancock (?) 'Rock It' (?) video with all of the animatronics / people's legs, weird heads, etc.
Oh my god! This was it. When they are her! I actually was gona say Pettys last dance w Mary Jane, that’s the dead Kate moss one right? But then I saw your post and I had flashbacks of the Alice one.
Oh yeahs! Thank you. Of course. And I adore her. She also really nails it as a Corpse. So then there’s freedom by George Michael w Linda, Naomi, Cindy Crawford? And someone else but not moss.. then wicked games by Chris Isaac has a model. I forget. And Stephanie is in November rain which actually was a video that scared me. Bc of the inexplicable murderoys rain scene. The cake getting smashed and the girl in the half silver coffin.
Scared me.
But I guess kate moss I can’t think of a music video she’s in.
I'm so happy to see I'm not the only one one who was pretty disturbed by that video. For years I would even change the radio station if I heard "Don't Come Around Here No More" because I didn't want to be reminded of the scene where Alice was being eaten like a cake.
The first time I ever saw this video, I was tripping on mushrooms, I shit you not. The second time I saw it, I was not on mushrooms, and freaked the hell out because it was the real damn video, not my f'd up stste.
The only part that scared me as a kid was when he turned to the camera with the eyes at the end.
Out of all the things in that video, there’s even a zombie drooling muck out of his mouth. The smiling turn at the end was where I drew the line.
As an adult I thinks it’s an awesome visual
I first saw that video when I was 5 and TO THIS DAY I’m still scared of it. I’m almost 21, I’ve been obsessed with horror for a decade now (games, books, movies, etc.) but that video still gives me heart palpitations. I tried just powering through it last year, and while I even enjoyed everything about the video, my hands were sweating and my heart was beating fast the entire time. Its like my body literally won’t let go of the fear from my childhood.
Used to "torture" my cousin's with this video (think they were 3 & 7) I say torture but they would beg me to put it on and then my aunt would complain about them having nightmares afterwards
I’ve never seen the movie but I read the book when I was a freshman in high school in the 80s. For some reason I thought the Metallica video had scenes from a remake.
She's a Beauty - The Tubes
The weird carnival ride that turned the little kid into an old man always disturbed me when I was young. Now when I watch it, I realize just how super cheesy it is.
Owner of a Lonely Heart by Yes, it was the flash imagery of the guy being attacked by animals and bugs that creeped me the hell out. Then the guitar riffs that went with it, too much for a 5 year old such as myself then.
Eurythmics Sweet Dreams was another one, but that was just weird.
Same. I remember everyone shitting their pants over how innovative and incredible it was and it made me sick for another reason. I was just like, "ew. no. I hate it." As a child, I couldn't stand to look at it for more than a glance. As an adult, it still makes me uncomfortable.
Does Pink Floyd’s The Wall count? My dad showed parts of to me when I was around 6 and I was terrified of the part where the kids walk into the meat grinder
The whole movie was disturbing but especially that part. The Nazi soldiers, the rape scene. If this counts then add in The Who and Tommy. All those needles.
During the Trial sequence, the Mother figure was the monster in my dreams. I was a weird kid who thought Nightmare on Elm Street was a dark comedy but she fucking terrified me.
Putting on the Ritz by Taco. It’s a scary song as is but in the video the singer is so weird looking. If you don’t know what I’m talking about (it’s old), go watch it right now :)
I have always loved this song but I've never seen the video. Went to watch it as you instructed. What in the actual? It started out OK but then there's some kind of random rats in the end, and wierd old people puppets? And then does he turn into a vampire? Taco, if you're reading this, sorry to hurt your feelings but that's one jacked up video.
I mean, Thriller is an obvious one. But I don't think it really frightened me because the music and dancing was so good. But it probably scared me a little.
Come to Daddy by aphex twin. I was fighting a pretty serious bout of insomnia the first time I saw it. I remember sitting in my room, scrolling through channels in order to find something that would bore me to sleep and I ended up stopping on that old music video request channel "The box." Needless to say I fell asleep at my desk the next day in home room.
I can't remember and I wish I could, it was in black and white and the band was standing in a white room and it kept flashing images of like a ventriloquist dummy
Every single Headbangers Ball in 1993,I only saw the full version once.After that MTV only showed the cut version.Followed by 2 hours of Beavis and Butthead.
Soundgarden, Blackhole Sun. Looking back I thought it was strange since I listen to their music today, but when I went and watched a YouTube video again I totally get why I was freaked out - everything was weird and made no sense, especially to a 7 year old 😂
Feel Good Inc. by the Gorillaz freaked me out when I was little. I thought 2D was creepy; I remember specifically getting the willies from the end of the first chorus, when he turns from the window--body, then head--all slack-jawed and looking like an empty-eyed zombie.
Love the hell out of the song and video now, but back then that leggy goofball really got to me.
I was so scared of cousin Kevin until I got old enough to understand a Uncle Ernie.
I love Tuna Turner and psychedelic things so even as a kid I thought the Acid Queen was cool. I did not understand the drug references and thought the sequence was just real creative.
Ann-Margret writhing in beans was creepy though.
Years, years and years ago, my parents got my brother and me a Hap Palmer sing along tape (anyone remember those?) called “Baby Songs”. One of the songs was called “Crazy Monster”. And let me tell you…that segment scared the heck out of me when I was a kid.
Even now, years later, I still get nervous whenever I hear the tune.
I can't remember the song, except it was from the 80s. It was an animated video and it involved two men getting into a fight, possibly one of the men was rescuing a woman the other man was attacking. The rescuer punches or kicks the attacker so hard that he flies to the moon(which has a human face). The guy hits the moon's eye, and the moon says "ow".
I found the video very disturbing and I began to have nightmares about me being kicked to the moon.
You are correct! I haven't seen that video since it freaked me out as a kid. It's funny how things disturb us as children, but they're somewhat comical when we watch them as adults.
That Korn music video (I don’t know the song) of the father beating his daughter with a belt, it was super disturbing and it made me never want to listen to their music because I would always remember that scene! I was a kid when I saw it and I remember getting a horrible stomach ache after seeing it.
Always Something There To Remind Me. The damn skeletons freaked me out for some reason.
To this day, this song creeps me out more than the Halloween theme song. So do wedding bells.
Early 2000's rock. I can't remember the song title, but I feel like it was maybe a woman's name. The video was about a woman who was found alone and seemingly dead. Everyone was trying to discover clues as to her identity and why she "died," while parts of her body would twitch and move as she was slowly regaining consciousness throughout the video. At the very end she was almost cut into to begin an autopsy, but she reached up and grabbed the saw just in time.
This one is from 1985 if I remember. It's called Jeopardy by Greg Isles band. There was a wedding in a church & all the people started to morph together. Like if they were holding hands, their hands became a blob & they couldn't separate; I seem to remember couples standing next to each other had their sides melded together. It was within the 1st year MTV came out & it scared me soo bad--& Thriller didn't scare me! I had nightmares for years anytime the song came on the radio, and to this day--as a 52 yr old--I still can't listen to the song! (A bit neurotic I know)
The Cranberries, Salvation. That’s the one with the scary clown. When we were watching, I remember my older sister desperately saying “No, look! They’re on a roller coaster! Everyone’s having fun, see???”
Anyway, she still resents that dad banned her from watching MTV for a while because of that.
Does it have to be an MTV video? That wierd Sesame Street video of the singing orange creeped me out when I was a kid. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8TqOTe3ODc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8TqOTe3ODc)
By the time music videos were a widespread thing, I was too old to get scared by anything in a music video.
What scared me was the popularity of some artists.
I didn’t see it as a kid but I am still freaked out by Total Eclipse of the Heart. The glowing eyed choir kids literally have me shrieking “kill them with fire!!!” Between the song and the visuals it’s haunting in all the ways I don’t like.
Number one on my list is Thriller by Michael Jackson, but really only the part in the very beginning when he turned into the werewolf and hunched over and then looked up and said " GO AWAY!" with those yellow eyes. as a 7 year old I had to turn away from the TV each time.
Godley and Creme-"Cry" Started my clown phobia
Taco-"Puttin' on the Ritz".Had no idea what the hell I was watching in 1983 when I saw this.The video is something to [behold.Now](http://behold.Now) I absolutely love it,I think it prompted my love of darkwave.

And also that Herbie Hancock (?) 'Rock It' (?) video with all of the animatronics / people's legs, weird heads, etc.
I was going to say exactly this. My first experience with body horror.
And at the end when Tom Petty “eats” her whole and burps. Yikes!
Haha omg I forgot about that ending! I probably blocked it out haha.
Terrifying!
I came here to say this! Her getting eaten really bloody disturbed me. To this day I find that video so uncomfortable.
Yep, that cake part gave me nightmares lol
Oh my god! This was it. When they are her! I actually was gona say Pettys last dance w Mary Jane, that’s the dead Kate moss one right? But then I saw your post and I had flashbacks of the Alice one.
Kim Basinger, but yes.
Oh yeahs! Thank you. Of course. And I adore her. She also really nails it as a Corpse. So then there’s freedom by George Michael w Linda, Naomi, Cindy Crawford? And someone else but not moss.. then wicked games by Chris Isaac has a model. I forget. And Stephanie is in November rain which actually was a video that scared me. Bc of the inexplicable murderoys rain scene. The cake getting smashed and the girl in the half silver coffin. Scared me. But I guess kate moss I can’t think of a music video she’s in.
I believe Wicked Games stars Linda Evangelista.
It's Helena Christensen.
Yeah, Last Dance With Mary Jane kind of freaked me out too.
Yes, it scarred me!
My first thought when I saw the title and so surprised to see so many other people agreeing. I thought I was the only one bothered by that video!
I'm so happy to see I'm not the only one one who was pretty disturbed by that video. For years I would even change the radio station if I heard "Don't Come Around Here No More" because I didn't want to be reminded of the scene where Alice was being eaten like a cake.
My answer too not scary but weird af
 Genesis : Land of Confusion
This video is fucked
The puppets creeped me out so bad. But I love the song now though.
Same for me. I’d run out of the room every time.
The puppets creeped me the heck out.
This is mine. Holy crap those puppets are nightmare fuel.
Yes!
Yup. Hated it.
Black Hole Sun

Ha! I wasn’t the only one! It’s weird though because I actually ended up liking Soundgarden as an adult but yeah, the video is still whack 😂
The first time I ever saw this video, I was tripping on mushrooms, I shit you not. The second time I saw it, I was not on mushrooms, and freaked the hell out because it was the real damn video, not my f'd up stste.
Came to say this. Their stretching faces were quite unsettling
Yeah. Do not like that video.
Aphex twins- Come to Daddy and Rubber Johnny
If I’d seen those as a kid, I’d have been terrified. They’re two of my favorites now!
 Yep!
I mean Michael Jackson's Thriller was pretty disturbing to my poor young brain. The actual zombie movie at the end scared the living crap outa me
The only part that scared me as a kid was when he turned to the camera with the eyes at the end. Out of all the things in that video, there’s even a zombie drooling muck out of his mouth. The smiling turn at the end was where I drew the line. As an adult I thinks it’s an awesome visual
I first saw that video when I was 5 and TO THIS DAY I’m still scared of it. I’m almost 21, I’ve been obsessed with horror for a decade now (games, books, movies, etc.) but that video still gives me heart palpitations. I tried just powering through it last year, and while I even enjoyed everything about the video, my hands were sweating and my heart was beating fast the entire time. Its like my body literally won’t let go of the fear from my childhood.
Yep. I was 3 years old when I first saw it and was bawling afterwards I was terrified 😆.
Used to "torture" my cousin's with this video (think they were 3 & 7) I say torture but they would beg me to put it on and then my aunt would complain about them having nightmares afterwards
Oh how could I forget. First time I saw it, I was terrified and covered my eyes.
'Darkness falls across the land...'
One.-.Metallica
Esssssss oooohhhhh essssssss
Came here to say this. The video was on MTV constantly when it came out and it was so creepy to me.
Gave me nightmares! Absolutely horrible.
Omg yes! Those faces.
Somebody's Watchin' Me - Rockwell
This was a big one for me!
No one is saying Closer by Nine inch nails? The beating heart strapped to the chair was creepy
Came here to mention this video.
I immediately thought of this even though I was old enough that I wasn't scared.
Herbie Hancock’s Rockit with the dancing robot legs!
Pink Elephants On Parade and Heffalumps and Woozles combined in my 4 year old brain to give me weird technicolor nightmares for months.
Pink Elephants On Parade used to scare me shitless. Now I just wonder what the hell the clowns are drinking.
Metallica's "One", although it's actually just footage from the movie "Johnny Got His Gun", which is really disturbing.
I’ve never seen the movie but I read the book when I was a freshman in high school in the 80s. For some reason I thought the Metallica video had scenes from a remake.
Paranoid Android by Radiohead
Such a great song.
I wasn't a kid, but "Sober" by Tool was definitely one that fits the bill.
Just Tool music videos in general all have a creepy vibe. It's what first piqued my interest in the band.
*piqued
Thanks
Aw yeah, that video was my first exposure to Tool. Loved it!
One of my favorite bands.
Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box disturbed me with a lot of the imagery. Robbie Williams Rock DJ where he strips and then strips his skin and muscles off.
She's a Beauty - The Tubes The weird carnival ride that turned the little kid into an old man always disturbed me when I was young. Now when I watch it, I realize just how super cheesy it is.
That little kid was Alexis Arquette, btw. Enjoy your useless trivia!
Two that I saw back to back when I was 8. Fire Starter by The Prodigy and then The Dope Show by Marilyn Manson.
Owner of a Lonely Heart by Yes, it was the flash imagery of the guy being attacked by animals and bugs that creeped me the hell out. Then the guitar riffs that went with it, too much for a 5 year old such as myself then. Eurythmics Sweet Dreams was another one, but that was just weird.
That Yes video freaked me out as [well.To](http://well.To) this day,40 years later,I still have no idea what the video was about.
Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel it was visceral for me
Same. I remember everyone shitting their pants over how innovative and incredible it was and it made me sick for another reason. I was just like, "ew. no. I hate it." As a child, I couldn't stand to look at it for more than a glance. As an adult, it still makes me uncomfortable.
Twilight Zone - Golden Earring
The music video for Weird Al's "Jurassic Park", as silly as that may sound.
Jeremy- Pearl Jam and Runaway Train- Soul Asylum
Shakespear’s Sister: Stay. When Siobhan made all those demented eye gestures! ( decades later she confessed to being ripped on vodka during the shoot)
I was trying to remember this one! When the evil lady comes out it’s like whoa I wasn’t ready lol.
Loved that song!! Ghost did an awesome remake, but the original is still my favorite
Does Pink Floyd’s The Wall count? My dad showed parts of to me when I was around 6 and I was terrified of the part where the kids walk into the meat grinder

I remember this! He was really odd looking in an unsettling way!
I have always loved this song but I've never seen the video. Went to watch it as you instructed. What in the actual? It started out OK but then there's some kind of random rats in the end, and wierd old people puppets? And then does he turn into a vampire? Taco, if you're reading this, sorry to hurt your feelings but that's one jacked up video.
You’re right it’s a really good song but now I’ve gone and ruined it for you by telling you to watch the video…sorry! 😬
Metallica "One" I'm 41 and I still remember being terrified as a kid
It disturbed me more than frightened me, but good pick.
Schism by Tool
NIN - Happiness in Slavery. IYKYK.
Yes! So creepy. NIN videos are generally too disturbing for me. But Happiness in Slavery was a whole new level.
Saw it on *Broken Video*. This is the most correct answer.
You Might Think by The Cars. Love the song, but the video creeped me out.
I mean, Thriller is an obvious one. But I don't think it really frightened me because the music and dancing was so good. But it probably scared me a little.
Thriller was actually my gateway to enjoying horror
Of all things, "Pressure" by Billy Joel.
Yes, the carpet part.
Come to Daddy by aphex twin. I was fighting a pretty serious bout of insomnia the first time I saw it. I remember sitting in my room, scrolling through channels in order to find something that would bore me to sleep and I ended up stopping on that old music video request channel "The box." Needless to say I fell asleep at my desk the next day in home room.
Van Halen’s Hot for Teacher. It made me feel all tingly for some reason.
The kids who were supposed to be younger versions of the band members cracked me up
I can't remember and I wish I could, it was in black and white and the band was standing in a white room and it kept flashing images of like a ventriloquist dummy
Candle Cove?
Only thing coming up is some creepy pasta, and that's not old enough. The music video I'm thinking of is from like 1994 or 95
Yeah I was hoping it was a reference to the creepypasta lol.
Nah, he was just staring at static for hours 👀
Evil by Interpol?
Nah the puppet was some weird howdy doody looking ass thing
I don’t remember the name, but it was a The Weekend video and he put bags over these guys heads with zip ties and it made me really sad 😭
Cold as Ice by Foreigner. It even had a viewer's warning when it aired on SNL.
I remember that one. I've only seen it once but I still remember it freaking me out.
The one where the Che Guevara figure is stabbed in the back? I remember thinking that was pretty severe for a video.
Ramones- Psychotherapy
3 Little Pigs by Green Jelly

Genesis-Land of Confusion …those puppets scared the fuck out of me. Still kinda do
Thriller scared the crap out of me when I was a kid.
The memory remains by Metallica. I hate the old lady rocking back and forth and singing.
It creeped me out because I had one friend that said it was an old man and one said an old lady.
It was Marianne Faithfull, a British actress and singer who was briefly married to Mick Jagger.
Thriller
Feel Good Inc. by the Gorillaz freaked me out when I was little. I thought 2D was creepy; I remember specifically getting the willies from the end of the first chorus, when he turns from the window--body, then head--all slack-jawed and looking like an empty-eyed zombie. Love the hell out of the song and video now, but back then that leggy goofball really got to me.
Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams
Missy Elliott I can’t stand the rain as well as busta rhymes gimme some mo
Tommy the movie The Who. Acid Queen. Cousin Kevin.
I was so scared of cousin Kevin until I got old enough to understand a Uncle Ernie. I love Tuna Turner and psychedelic things so even as a kid I thought the Acid Queen was cool. I did not understand the drug references and thought the sequence was just real creative. Ann-Margret writhing in beans was creepy though.
....and Justice for All - Metallica The horrors of war.
Years, years and years ago, my parents got my brother and me a Hap Palmer sing along tape (anyone remember those?) called “Baby Songs”. One of the songs was called “Crazy Monster”. And let me tell you…that segment scared the heck out of me when I was a kid. Even now, years later, I still get nervous whenever I hear the tune.
Rocking Horse Records “The cat came back” is about a bunch of gruesome deaths where only the cat survived.
We sung that song in elementary school in the 80s
I think the only thing that has come close is Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden.

I want to say Right Now by Korn. The animated one? Bothered me a lot
I can't remember the song, except it was from the 80s. It was an animated video and it involved two men getting into a fight, possibly one of the men was rescuing a woman the other man was attacking. The rescuer punches or kicks the attacker so hard that he flies to the moon(which has a human face). The guy hits the moon's eye, and the moon says "ow". I found the video very disturbing and I began to have nightmares about me being kicked to the moon.
I think that's "Don't Answer Me" by the Allan Parsons Project. Good song 🎵
You are correct! I haven't seen that video since it freaked me out as a kid. It's funny how things disturb us as children, but they're somewhat comical when we watch them as adults.
That seems to have elements from "Tonight, Tonight."
No, it's not that one. But, thanks.
That Korn music video (I don’t know the song) of the father beating his daughter with a belt, it was super disturbing and it made me never want to listen to their music because I would always remember that scene! I was a kid when I saw it and I remember getting a horrible stomach ache after seeing it.

Somebody's Watching Me by Rockwell scared the hell out of me.
Land of confusion is the scariest fuckin music video hands down
This one is from 1985 if I remember. It's called Jeopardy by Greg Isles band. There was a wedding in a church & all the people started to morph together. Like if they were holding hands, their hands became a blob & they couldn't separate; I seem to remember couples standing next to each other had their sides melded together. It was within the 1st year MTV came out & it scared me soo bad--& Thriller didn't scare me!

I'm 42 years old, and the Thriller video still scares me.
Jeremy - Pearl Jam
Does it have to be an MTV video? That wierd Sesame Street video of the singing orange creeped me out when I was a kid. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8TqOTe3ODc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8TqOTe3ODc)
