Shouldn't this be a YMMV trope? What may be a Last Note Nightmare for some may not be one for others. For example, someone said that Steely Dan's "Josie" had a menacing fade-out. I'd like to know what's menacing about it.
To pity someone is to tell them "I feel bad about being better than you."
Does the ending of "Your Bedtime Story is Scaring Everyone" by "In Flames" count as this trope?

I don't think so, as the weird bit comes about three/four minutes in and it goes back to normal for the end, but I have problems with hearing.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
According to the "Playing With" section, it would be Subverted. So yeah, it should count.
Does the end of "We are the champions" count? It's not so much a scare chord as a lack of completion. I was teaching a class of 30-50 year old ESL students with the song, and they commented on it too. There's something unsettling about the end of the song.

I think it's either Downplayed or Defied. Defied because the last note... just isn't there. Downplayed because the ending is unsettling, but not flat-out scary.

Seeing as this is a Music Trope, should we get rid of all of the non-musical examples?

Do you mean the not-explicitly-a-music-genre half of the page, or the few within that which are about words rather than sounds?
The former: No; it's full of music examples.
The latter: Possibly. I'd bring it up for wider discussion somewhere.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
I meant the ones that aren't from a song of any kind. For example, the ones about when TV switched from analog to digital.

Yeeah, that's not the trope.

So axe them, then?

The ending of "She Don't Use Jelly" by The Flaming Lips and its industrial, downright creepy record sounds may count.

- There is a possible first-note nightmare with their song "Sleep and Dream". Your Milage May Vary, though.
The track "the Eve of the War" in Jeff Waynes War of the Worlds is a pretty upbeat (and very bombastic) song about the martian invaders coming, that ends with a sound that could be a martian beacon or radar-whatever. Pretty inhuman and cold after the song anyway, but for the life of me I can't think of a category to put it in...
Vocaloid songs have a lot of these, I can't seem to catolog them all right now, but if anyone is interested in helping me, I'll get the list started to add into the page.

Scratch this, why is vocaloid not listed amongst the music category,sure, it's a software, but it's a software that makes MUSIC and the songs are MUSIC. I think that the examples for it should b e moved to music.

Didn't there used to be an image on the main page of a piece of sheet music with a happy-sounding title, and then it was torn apart and covered in blood at the bottom of the image with a knife right next to it? I like that image.

I agree...what happened? It was cool, and illustrated the trope pretty well.
Linking to a past Trope Repair Shop thread that dealt with this page: Too. Many. Music Subgenres. Also, This Troper.
