7	* The video for "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sROhhid5CB4 Insanity]]" (although the song was dramatically shortened and censored for it), complete with [[CreepyDoll terrifying dolls]], and Mr. Elfman in a straitjacket. The song itself, as well.
8	* Lyrics-wise, "Controller", "No One Lives Forever", "Pictures of You", and many more.
9	* "Islands" is definitely one of their creepier-sounding songs, with frenetic, moan-like singing and fast-paced BackgroundMusic.
10	* And then there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp6NmzOcWjw "I'm Afraid"]], arguably as creepy as "Insanity".
11	* Also the rarely-heard "Clowns of Death," which is about Nazis.
12	** "Your sons and daughters, innocent, lay sleeping in their beds/They'll catch them when you're not around and smash their little heads"
13	* "[[MemeticMolester I-I-I-I love little girls, they make me feel so good!]]"
14	* "When he stole the car, nobody dreamed that he would try to take it so far. He didn't ''mean'' to hit the ''poor man'', who had to go and ''die''...."
15	** "His teachers didn't understand; they kicked him out of school at a tender early age just because he didn't wanna learn things, had other interests... '''''HE LIKED TO BURN THINGS.'''''"
16	* "Hey neighbor, let me give you some advice. [[UsefulNotes/ColdWar The Russians are about to pulverize us in our sleep tonight]]....But go ahead sleep tight in your bed...."
17	* The song "Just Another Day" is ''nothing'' but ParanoiaFuel.
18	* "Let's have a party; there's a full moon in the sky. It's the hour of the wolf, and I don't want to die. But no one beats him at his game for very long, but just the same, who cares? There's no place safe to hide - nowhere to run, no time to cry. So celebrate while you still can, 'cause any second ''it may end''...."
19	** Well, it's true.
20	* ''Animals came from miles around/So tired of walking so close to the ground/They needed a change, that's what they said/Life is better [[Literature/AnimalFarm walking on two legs]].''
21	** ''[[Literature/TheIslandOfDoctorMoreau What is the law? NO SPILL BLOOD!]]''
22	* Really, Music/DannyElfman in just about all of the music videos could qualify as this to varying degrees. With an almost constantly present [[SlasherSmile wide and toothy grin]], bulging eyes that seem incapable of blinking or focusing on anything other than directly into the camera, and stiff and jerky movements that seem almost out of his control, there's something just inherently ''off'' about his presence that while captivating is also decidedly unnerving.
