We expect scary videos from Ozzy, Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie, but the dark side isn't just relegated to those with a spooky musical flair. Pop stars like Michael Jackson and Chris Brown have gotten in on the haunted fun, turning in clips that range from the cheesy-eerie to the downright terrifying. Even a rock band, Soundgarden, stepped up with one of the downright creepiest videos ever. In honor of Halloween, we've compiled 15 of the scariest music videos ever created. We'd like to consider them a suitable replacement for Halloween music, since you can only hear "Monster Mash" so many times before it makes you want to rip your costume off and call it a night. Watch these 15 if you dare.
PHOTO GALLERY: 31 Pop Stars' Halloween Costumes
"Wall to Wall" (2007)
Chris Brown
Before vampires were a a certifiable trend, Chris Brown cast a sexy fang-toothed female companion in his 2007 video for "Wall to Wall." Brown doesn't seem to mind the bites -- just so long as vampiredom doesn't affect his dance moves.
"Sheena Is A Parasite" (2006)
The Horrors
At first, it seems like Sheena (Oscar nominee Samantha Morton) just has a twitchy way of getting her groove on, but the gruesome surprise she has waiting under her pretty white dress isn't quite so pretty. Behold the freakiest 98 seconds in British rock history.
"Black Hole Sun" (1994)
Soundgarden
Suburban utopia morphs from kitschy to twisted in Soundgarden's 1994 video. The video is terrifying because of the creepy Precious-Moments-big-eye-ification and rictus grins of all the mundane characters. Then -- lo! -- housewives, old ladies and little girls are literally sucked into a dark abyss at the center of a burning sky. Shiver!
