* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'': [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_253Mjna7_s&feature=related (Jiga Kyôkai)] which plays during Asuka's [[Mind Rape]] sequence and in [[The End of Evangelion]] when the girls are talking to Shinji about personal need, also the song that plays {{spoiler|when the Eva Series are mutilating Asuka}} (Passage of Emptiness) in the movie.
** During Asuka's [[Mind Rape]] there's a repeating sequence which ends each time with a different sound every time she yells "Look at me dammit, Look at me!" Sounds like something like a gunshot the first time, cracking of ice the second time, being ripped apart the third time, sound of something dropping the fourth time, and the smashing of a mirror the fifth time. This signifies the repeated damage done to her psyche. There's also the jingling sound heard when we see a doll spinning around and around at the end of a rope and Asuka being confronted with a swarm of Asukas with creepy goo-like colours comes complete with the swarm of Asuka's giggling in a creepy continuous fashion.
** Asuka's "I don't want to die" bit in ''[[The End of Evangelion]]''. Which becomes even creepier when her mother's "You are not alone. You are not alone. You are not alone" gets piled over it.
Line 7:
** There's also a unsettling Train Crossing sound-effect that's heard during Shinji's Personal Hell Introspections (which tend to feature trains), during Asuka's [[Mind Rape]] sequence after she spots Shinji behind Kaji, as well as during the "Breakup" lines Psychological sequence in the second part of ''[[End of Evangelion]]''.
*** The second you hear "''TWANG-TWANG-twang-twang-twang-twang-twang-twang-TWANG''", you know that someone's mind is not entirely in the right state.
** When a distorted, guttural, growling noise, like the synthesis of circuits and synapses, is heard during sync sequences (and behind the incoming Harpies), one knows everything is about twenty seconds away from going all to hell.
** And then there's the slow, rhythmic pounding of a pile driver when Shinji is visiting Rei in her apartment.
** Also from ''End'': [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUTRPePatrI&feature=related "Escape to the Beginning"], the background music for apocalypses.
Line 20:
** As great a job as [[Spike Spencer]] did voicing Shinji, [[Megumi Ogata|Megumi Ogata's]] scream [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuRfev3siPA is even worse.] [[Hell Is That Noise|Jesus...]]
** ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=170Jzse31xA Introjection]''. Just...''Introjection''. It's an echoing synthesised [[Buffy-Speak|something or other]] with a [[One-Woman Wail]] over the top. *shudders*
** Armisael shrieking in agony after Shinji stabs it in episode 23. Also, Armisael turning into Rei and giggling and the dummies of Rei giggling.
** The sound of the Rei dummies giggling in episode 23 as they're being destroyed.
** {{spoiler|The death of Kaworu in Episode 24. It's bad enough that he was crushed in the palm of EVA-01, but then we hear the sound of his HEAD FALLING INTO THE WATER as well as the sound of Kaworu's bones breaking)}}.
Line 50:
** Furthermore, the bass sound that plays at the beginning of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfPqg4lPTFE Katsubou] and the [[Ominous Music Box Tune|creepy music box tune]] of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flt6JLIglSc Yureai].
* Occurs in ''[[Death Note]]'' whenever Light goes into Kira mode, accentuated with his creepy little giggles.
* ''[[
** That's interesting, because the title roughly translates as "On The Other Side Of The Wall"...
* ''[[Serial Experiments Lain]]'' had the short voiceover that started every episode: * Static* "Present day...heh heh heh...PRESENT TIME...HA HA HA HA HA-" * static*
** And then there's the "Whisper" synthesized voice that's used to say the layer titles at the beginning of each episode...
** The hum of the electric power transformers becomes ever more creepy as the series progresses.
*** Especially when it starts forming recognisable words.
* [[Soul Eater]] has plenty of creepy moments, like Ragnarok's screaming and the moments before Asura's release. In the dark, otherwise silent chamber all you can hear is the clanking of chains. And as he awakens he scratches madly at the floor with his fingers. Eek.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6zAy7bFXgA Stein's insane laugh in the anime].
Line 74:
** "Mutation," the song which plays when Tetsuo loses all control of his powers and the horror hits the stratosphere.
** The sound the burst and sweeping cooling pipes make once Akira's chamber bursts out of the sound. The fact there is next to no other sound in the background, and the visuals and audio makes it clear it happens in the background and the sound ''really'' carries leaves both the characters and viewers in awe.
* ''[[Hellsing]]'s'' soundtrack consists more of a Songs to Kick Ass To compilation than creepy stuff, but when they go for the vampire atmosphere, they do it pants-wettingly well. Possibly the worst contender is ''From 666 to 777''. It starts out with children's laughter and a jangly, cheery kids's show-style tune which is startling enough in its own rite, then abruptly switches to warped laughter, low tones, and bell-ringing. ''Sever Gun Fight at the Hill of Casualties'' is another nightmare-maker, as even though it segues into jazz, it begins with organ music that sounds unnervingly like if the children's lullaby "Pretty Little Ponies" was a funeral dirge. And ''Original Sin (For Not Keeping Virginity)'' is suspiciously similar to the "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OkFLdPaoZQ Ave Satani]" from ''[[The Omen]]''.
** The sound of Rip Van Winkle's alarm clock ringing continuously in the fourth OVA, shortly before Alucard smashes it.
* [[Chaotic Evil|Sai's]] theme from ''[[Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro]]''. As soon as you hear those choral gasps and that bass, you know someone's gonna end up with their organs on display in a little glass box.
