* The music video for "Boys Don't Cry" gets creepy around the 1:45 mark when Robert Smith's eyes suddenly begin glowing red as he sings along side the child playing as him while Robert stands behind a curtain. The fact that Robert's essentially a silhouette for the whole video makes the glowing eyes scarier because of how much they stand out.

* You don't get much time to recover from "Subway Song" if you happen to be listening to the ''Boys Don't Cry'' album. Immediately following that we get what is easily the band's most infamous song, "Killing An Arab". While it's OvershadowedByControversy these days due to the title, it's actually based on ''The Stranger'' by Albert Camus. As the title suggests it's about the title character killing a character who, in the book, is referred to only as "the Arab".

With a gun in my hand\\
Staring at the sea\\
Staring at the land\\
Staring down the barrel\\
At the Arab in the ground\\
I can see his mouth\\
But I hear no sound''

** The scream is implied to be that of the woman from the song who is apparently being watched as she walks through a subway late at night.
** Hell, Robert Smith's vocals alone are just creepy. The way he's whispering throughout the whole thing will send shivers down your spine.

Probably making it the band's darkest and scariest song. If you do sleep to it, you're more than likely to get jolted awake by the ear splitting feedback at the very end.
