Looking for some good horror music.

Try some stuff from Depeche Mode, they did some pretty haunting tracks.
EDIT: Especially the Violator album.

umm. most of their stuff is black/death metal. i think that song i mentioned was just a creepy interlude on one of their cd's.

in the meantime try this: dimmu borgir - fear and wonder. its a 2:48 all instrumental piece mostly strings. its kinda scary sounding at parts. another good song by them is "puritania." its a great metal song and has scary overtones.
good luck.

Lee: I actually have Dimmu in my library. I didn't think to look, good call!

Mad Cat: Are you serious? I thought Depeche Mode was a dance band. I'll check that out tonight, I think my GF might own some of their stuff.

They started pop, went a bit strange then went a bith gothy then a bit rocky, its hard to tell.

EDIT: One that springs straight to mind is the Pimpf instrumental. Look about for it, its on the Music For The Masses album. I remember the Christmas Island instrumental being a bit similar.
EDIT2: Definetly Pimpf, yeah.
EDIT3: Stuff like Moonlight Sonata, Sibeling and some of the other B-side instrumentals, too.

Thx MadCat. I'll go through their catalog ( there is a whole lotta stuff to go through ) and then I'll use all of the suggestions I've gotten here and go to AllMusicGuide to find related/similar artists.

Thank you EVERYONE for all of the help!
