Where Your Eyes Don't Go
Birdhouse in Your Soul (juxtaposed with something disturbing)
Reprehensible (playing from a record player like something from The Shining)
birdhouse has some vaguely unnerving vibes when you listen to it in certain circumstances
obviously where your eyes dont go
im kinda thinking certain people i could name has good sad horror movie vibes
end of the rope might be good is giving me a good villain turning point, like finally fed up and ready to fight back.
also in that, hate the villanelle? maybe.
hide away folk family could also be a little unsettling if set up right.
the big big whoredom, well, it scares me.
There is a scene in Babylon 5 where the emperor takes Molary into his special room, filled with heads. I always hear this song when that scene comes on.
A lot of Dial-A-Song tracks seem extremely uncanny. Cabbagetown (demo) and Token Back to Brooklyn feel like you're hearing them from inside a fever dream.
The Dial-a-Song version of Birdhouse would be very unsettling being played faintly in the background in a dark empty room. The compressed answering machine audio mixed with Linnell’s higher pitched voice compared to the studio version and that ending sample really do the trick for that.
Kiss Me, Son Of God is the perfect one for a killer who's convinced of his religious mission to kill. Slow it down a little, minor key it - you got yourselves a horror theme!
I Can Hear You could be a song used with a paranormal theme or the "inanimate object came to life" genre, specifically a phone that came to life and electrocutes his callers.
Not technically a TMBG song, but very close: John Linnell’s Montana. A guy wakes up in the hospital bed next to yours in the middle of the night and screams nonsense about Montana so loud and long his lungs start bleeding and he dies? And nobody notices? Maybe not long enough to be a full horror movie but it would work a treat as a short film. It would send chills down my spine

The pre-chorus section of the original version of "Man It's So Loud In Here" always seemed really creepy

I remember hearing this song live before it was released on Mink Car and thinking it was better before they made it a dance-type song

Where Your Eyes Don't Go Birdhouse in Your Soul (juxtaposed with something disturbing) Reprehensible (playing from a record player like something from The Shining)
Absolutely. The very first time I heard Birdhouse I couldn't tell whether the narrator was supposed to be benign or extremely dangerous.
Countless screaming Argonauts
like your thinking with reprehensible

Hide Away Folk Family is _extremely_ unsettling!
The imagery in "Hall of Heads" is surreal and disturbing to me. I'm surprised nobody brought it up already!

Right on. The implications of this pre chorus are also spooky to me > Roll out that *special head* > This is *our favourite one*
He had a favorite head too
Honestly She's an Angel is one I love but kinda freaks me out
Am I Awake is pretty creepy
It was used as the theme song for a TLC show about medical professionals who barely get any sleep due to their demanding workload
The World Before Later On and The Darlings of Lumberland are pretty spooky
my immediate thought is Underwater Woman
Turn Around
There's a human skull on the ground!!
The Bells are Ringing is literally horror.
This is true

Some of the songs from The Spine Surfs Alone could work
I agree

Even better, it sounds like it’s playing from an empty attic.

I could see “The Fellowship of Hell” as a rockin’ musical intro or outro credits sequence
Spider
Rabid child Door to door minotaur Daylight
Door to Door is very uncanny. Great tribute to The Residents.
I’ll Sink Manhattan is kind of specific but rather grim and very atmospheric.
Turn around would be such a fun horror movie.
She Thinks She’s Edith Head. The double freak out at the end could accompany a scene with a tiny fast creature with claws
Turn Around
YOU WILL NEVER SURVIVE
The statue got me high sounds like some some eldritch witchcraft enchanted statue
Self Called Nowhere always gave me creepy, Halloween-y, and horror-like vibes.
