What are the scariest chords? Creepiest chords? Well, it’s certainly subjective. But this is a quick list of spooky chords and some advice on how to use them. You’ll notice that the majority of these revolve around a minor triad, and that shouldn’t be a surprise. Minor has a tendency to skew to the evil…
If you would like some more info on creepy composition techniques, check out this video I did a while back:    • Six Spooky Secrets Composers use to S...  
And here's my video on the MinMaj7 chord:    • The MYSTERY Chord - MinMaj7 (Minor Ma...  

The intro song I made uses every chord I mentioned, in order, with the exception of the AugMaj7 chord. So the progression is Em - EmAdd9 - EmM7 - Emb6 - Em - Bbm - Bclusterf***

Theory Note: An E Augmented Triad is composed of a root, a major third, and an augmented 5th. The 5th of E is B, and to augment it would make it a B#. This is enharmonically equivalent to C. The correct spelling of E Aug is E G# B#. Call me a bad instructor, but I intentionally avoid enharmonic confusion when possible. I can honestly care less if a musician spells a chord incorrectly, as I am not a professor and do not care about students passing tests, I care about them making music easily and efficiently. As long as the instructor gives them a footnote to explore further (as I am doing here).
SORRY THEORY NERDS!

Most disturbing sound I've ever heard in my life was hearing my little sister try and play 3 blind mice on the violin and sing along with it. I thought she was possessed.

What's crazy about music, you hear something and INSTANTLY paints a picture in your head of something it relates to. That "Detective chord" is perfect example 🔍

You called the Minor Major 7th chord the "Detective Chord." I like it.

I love how he looks scared to death yet he is the one creating the scary music. Truly a very funny and talented person.

I'm a jazz guy so none of the chords above sound creepy because I'm already used with dissonance, but cluster chords do the job for horror movies scare scenes

I love the part in the Beatles Julia where there’s a walking down beneath the E minor chord for a brief part of the progression. And that song goes through so many different feelings and places and for a moment you’re in this very dreamy sort of dark place

That first theremin part (6:08) legitimately gave me chills. That's not easy to do. Congrats! Addendum: I think that the speed of the melody also plays a large part of the spookyness.
