With October fully in swing, we're kicking off our Halloween celebrations a bit early this year over at Billboard.com. While you contemplate if you'd have more fun dressing up as Ke$ha or Rihanna (Ke$ha, c'mon!) or if it's too soon for an Amy Winehouse costume (it is), get into the spooky spirit with questions of a creepier kind -- specifically, which musician scares the living daylights out of you.

 

The 15 Scariest Music Videos Ever

 

"Scary" is a relative term so our suggested artists featured in the poll below ran the gamut, from the subtle "Creep" side of Radiohead's Thom Yorke, to Lady Gaga owning her "Monster" status in wild costumes. And what scary musicians poll would be complete without a gaggle of gory metal bands like GWAR or death-obsessed shock-rockers like Ozzy, Alice and Manson? We've even got you covered on the horrorcore rap front.

 

Vote below, and fill in your own choice if ours aren't eerie enough. The poll closes the week before Halloween, after which we'll reveal your top picks for scariest musician!
