Nightmare Fuel / Tally Hall

Just because they're most well known for doing a Playhouse Disney show and singing about bananas doesn't mean these guys can't pull out the fear every now and then.

Albums

Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum

• "Banana Man" is mostly lighthearted as a song (aside from the music video), despite its heavy tones of ennui and potentially even drug abuse, but it has a few creepy lines.
  And then forget about banana when it sticks in your throat
  And when they make you want to bellow but you stuck in a choke
• "Taken For A Ride" has an eerie, sci-fi beat, distorted vocals, and lyrics that don't make any sense.
  • The music video isn't much better.
• "Ruler of Everything", at its core, is a song about how no one can escape from time and how we're all gonna die eventually. Fun.
  Do you like how I walk? Do you like how I talk? Do you like how my face disintegrates into chalk?

Good & Evil

• A brief one appears in "&" as a Last Note Nightmare, with the song slowing down and fading out before going silent.
• "Fate Of The Stars" has a section that's about a minute long of nothing but muted eerie opera singing and calm piano music.

Music Videos

• The video for Banana Man has become somewhat of a Memetic Mutation due to the facepaint you will either find horrifying or hilarious. The faces also pop up at rather unsettling times, such as the gray face which briefly appears in an abandoned store window and in the foreground as Joe Hawley gets carried away on a stretcher, or when the red face briefly replaces Hawley's at the very end in a Freeze-Frame Bonus.

• "Turn The Lights Off", being the song about monsters, is littered with this. The music video itself is pretty lighthearted and most of the monsters have rather cartoony designs, but others such as the tentacled beings, the Monster Clown, and especially the huge headless zombie like creatures are quite creepy, along with an Or Was It a Dream? ending.

• "The Whole World and You" has otherwise a pretty lighthearted music video (the puppets may be a bit creepy, but that's about it), but the ending sees the puppet who is running for president get sniped offscreen. We see the box it all took place in shake as tiny bullet holes begin appearing on its side. Talk about Sudden Downer Ending.
• "Ruler of Everything" has a few disturbing moments, like when tiny men pop out of their bloody hosts, or when the god shakes the earth, devastating the populace. Not to mention the weird, insect-like way the tiny men climb everywhere, which might frighten people who have a fear of insects. And then they manage to bring down the god through sheer numbers alone.
