The 6 scariest music videos of all time.

Heavy metal and heavy music have always gone hand in hand with the bizarre and the frightening. For many, this is what attracts them to the genre; for others, it's pure exaggeration. However, it's difficult to say that the frightening isn't very well executed in the music and videos of bands like Slipknot , Cradle of Filth , and others.

Here we've selected six of the most terrifying music videos in heavy metal. Check out the full list:

06. Cradle of Filth – “Babylon AD (So Glad for the Madness)”

found footage technique – where a film is presented as a documentary shot with only one camera – the clip shows frightened men and women running and screaming down a hallway.

05. Rammstein -“Mein Herz Brennt”

Part of the reason people love Rammstein is that they can be both funny and scary. With “Mein Herz Bernnt” (“My Heart Burns”), they are definitely scary.

Lead singer Till Lindemann puts himself in several distressing situations, such as taking over a classroom of orphans and transforming into an insect-like creature. It's surreal.

04. Slipknot “The Devil in I”

Given the masks and insane tone of Slipknot's music videos, any song could make this list, but "The Devil in I" has something special. If you haven't seen this video yet – or don't remember it – I won't tell you anything, I don't want to spoil the surprise.

03. Mr. Bungle – “Quote Unquote”

Like many of the videos on this list, Mr. Bungle's "Quote Unquote" is a psychedelic video full of disturbing imagery. There's a controversial part to this video that caused MTV to refuse to air it. Check it out!

02. Slayer – “Dead Skin Mask”

Inspired by serial killer Ed Gein, who exhumed corpses from local cemeteries and kept mementos of his victims, the video is intended to be terrifying.

01. Ramones – “Pet Sematary”

Filmed at night in a New York cemetery, the Ramones' music video couldn't be left out. The track was even chosen to play during the credits of the film adaptation of Stephen King's novel of the same name.

The video, in addition to featuring Blondie and The Dead Boys , is the last appearance of bassist Dee Dee Ramone , who was later replaced by CJ Ramone .
