When I was much younger, I was obsessed with disturbing, spooky, generally creepy soundtracks in video games (as with many other, related things like video game urban legends). I still like to listen to this type of music, and I'm curious what other people think of when this topic comes up. Post and discuss video game OST that spooked you or just you found weird.

Here's two to start:

This song sounds beautiful, but creepy and mysterious at the same time. What sounds like chittering bones in the opening of the song, becomes accompanied by wind like flutes and synth voices as the song progresses. I remember, as a kid, when I first played this game, I would leave the forest temple and give myself a break, due to how creepy it was. Thinking about the context as well. This is the first temple adult link must go to after his transformation from his young self. He had to see what became of his childhood home in his absence, and the song fits this melancholic theme. Just some food for thought.​
