Topic: Scary/Creepy Song

So my friends and I are writing and filming a short horror film called "Peter Cottontail". It's a really twisted plot. Anyways, I'm in charge of the musical element. We want this to be scary and creepy and slow. I had one written but then we decided to make it a variation of the original song "Peter Cottontail". I'm totally at a loss for how I could make that song creepy. Please help!

Re: Scary/Creepy Song

Listen to some of the Doors for ideas.  "The End" is a good one.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: Scary/Creepy Song

Using minor chords can turn a song creepy if you want to give that a try.

Re: Scary/Creepy Song

The original chords are G, C, and D7 during the verse. I changed it to G, C#, and Dm and threw in a little distortion. That gave me what I was going for. Thanks for the help!

Re: Scary/Creepy Song

Jefferson Airplane's White rabbit, or some of the Pink floyd music might fit in.
