I know about them but added bands I recommended moreso than others. I have Sopor Aeternus in my Medieval darkwave folder, as his works are variegated with mixtures of other genres and styles. But I guess if you don't mind dark neo-classical with ambient/electro/rock hints in it, then we can make the list larger.

hmm the name Richard Wagner has always haunted me yet I never gave him a try...

any spooky sounding songs in particular or cd with organ music you could reccomend?

I'm glad somebody mentioned this one. It's a freaken' classic I tell you!

I think a lot of Bartok could fit in here, as well as "DSCH" by Shostakovitch.

And who could forget Prokofiev's "Romeo & Juliet," or "Night on Bald Mountain" by Моде́ст Петро́вич Му́соргский (Modeste Mussorgsky)?

Virgin Black released Requiem, a three part album. Pianissimo is 100% traditional classical. Mezzo-Forte is a blend of classical and doom/rock/goth/ambient/etc. Fortissimo is heavy, growling, doomy, etc. with less classical instrumentation. It does feature a 'death' choir, however, consisting of numerous screamers, growlers, shriekers, etc.

I recomend emilie autumn. granted she's really a gothic victorian violenist but she's still good ear candy

There's an organ piece "Demonica" from the anime Shigetsutan Tsukihime I quite like. I can't find a sample online though :\

I'm going to have to protest at the lack of Beethoven here! In his late, experimental period are found some masterpieces of scariness - examples:

String Quartet in F minor, Op. 95 (first movement)
Piano Sonata #29 in B flat, Op. 106 "Hammerklavier" (last two movements)
Piano Sonata #32 in C minor, Op. 111 (just the first movement, the second is more like jazz )
Symphony #9 in D minor, Op. 125 (first movement)
String Quartet in C# minor, Op. 131 (final movement)
String Quartet in A minor, Op. 132 (final movement)
Große Fuge in B flat, Op. 133

I'd even include a few of his earlier works:
Piano Sonata in F minor, Op. 57 "Appassionata"
Symphony #5 in C, Op. 67 (third movement - the first is boring and we all know it)

Also, I'd agree with the recommendations of Bartók and Emilie Autumn - both people that gawffs should look at
Furthermore: Miranda Sex Garden have a mediæval vibe throughout most of their albums and lots of very classical moments. Not to mention that their first album is a collection of straight-sung [cheerful, sorry] mediæval madrigals.

But what about Paradise Lost?)

Wasn't that a poem?

Yes, but its also a band. I don't know how they fit into classical though...mostly doomy, rock/metal stuff, with a lot of atmosphere.

Maybe a few of their songs have synthed violin sections?

No mention of Albinoni's Adagio for Strings in G Minor? For shame!

Okay, so it was actually composed by Remo Giazotto based on a fragment of Albinoni's Sonata in G minor, but it's commonly attributed to Albinoni so ner. Then there's also Samuel Barber's marvellous Adagio for Strings, used to excellent effect in the PC game "Homeworld."

Two beautiful pieces of music I can never hear enough of.

- trag

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...... Let me think.......

Nice pieces, trag, but I got a bit fed up of them after I spent 3 years listening constantly to Classic FM and encountering them twice a day
