Dr Pest – This gimp plays keyboards for German thrash metal band Die Apokalyptischen Reiter (English 'The Apocalyptic Horsemen'). Scary huh? His real name is actually Mark Szakul.

Phil Spector – There are few scarier sights on this planet than a Phil Spector mugshot. Especially when the shamed music producer is stripped of his wig.

Pete Burns - Years of plastic surgery have turned Pete into a bit of a trout-faced walking nightmare. Argh!

Gene Simmons – Much, much scarier without his KISS face paint. Enough to give you nightmares!

Mick Hucknall - Oh ginger one, please do not torment us any longer!! Your face is like a nasty acid trip.

Mick Thomson – Most Slipknot members could have made the list but Mick Thomson is easily the scariest. A towering brute of a man, his mask adds to the menace

GG Allin - He may now be dead, but in life Mr Allin was one seriously scary motherf*cker. During his live shows he regularly mutilated himself and often threw faeces at the audience.

Marilyn Manson – Although he's really as tame as a kitten, Brian Warner does occasionally look pretty damn scary onstage. Proper horrorshow.

Shane MacGowan – Is that a ghost? Nope it's Shane MacGowan

Ozzy Osbourne - Way before he turned into literally a shell of a human being, Ozzmeister was a cocaine fiend used to bite the heads off bats and threaten to kill people. Nice.

HeWhoCannotBeNamed – The Dwarves guitarist always plays butt naked except for his mask. Thankfully for you, we've cropped his shrivelled manhood out of the image.

Courtney Love – A particularly unflattering pic of the former Hole singer taken in September.

Watain – Easily the freakiest Black Metal band to have come out of Sweden.

Aphex Twin – There's something freaky about the sight of Richard D James face superimposed onto children's bodies. Taken from the video for 'Come To Daddy', easily one of the scariest music videos of all time.

Devin Townsend – If the Devil actually existed, this is what he'd look like

Dee Snider – The Twisted Sister singer is actually disturbing to look at.

A nice close-up of Shane MacGowan's snot encrusted nose.
