The walkman would obviously be a (Sony) Sportsman, which is waterproof and also in a plastic bag... gee whiz, do I need to spell everything out for you...
Seriously,
Univers Zero - "Heretic" - 70's progressive/rock-chamber music is pretty scary. Easily the darkest album I own.

MZ.412 I can't even stand to listen to that stuff. That's freaking scary crap.
Raison, Sephiroth, Gothica, Brighter Death Now....haha, they've all been named....

I second the Univers Zero and Agalloch recommendations. I don't know about being creepy, but check out Satyricon, Robert Fripp's The Gates of Paradise (album...or any of his soundscapes), and go for any black metal that doesn't make you laugh.

hey mike!
well some creepy music would have to be Jandek.
it's this guy and it's the scariest shit ever.
he's got this song called "pending doom" and it's just some banging and a voice that keeps saying "pending doom..."
it's shitty music, but it's scary and makes you uncomfortable

DL the "song" 'De Profundis Mors Vas Consemut' by Abruptum.. it isnt exactly music.. but it bugs me out
I cannot bare to listen to Ulver's "The Madrigal of the Night". The production is so damned unpolished.
An album called Macbeth by the Third Ear Band. They wrote the score and performed the soundtrack to Roman Polanski's film version of Macbeth. Instruments include the oboe, viola, recorder, drums, cello, bass, guitar, violin.
AMG quote "Although they were loosely affiliated with the British progressive rock scene of the late '60s and early '70s, Third Ear Band was in some ways more of an experimental ensemble performing contemporary compositional work. For one thing, they didn't use electric instruments, or even guitars, instead employing violin, viola, oboe, cello, and hand percussion. More important, they didn't play conventional rock "songs." They featured extended instrumental pieces that often built up from a drone, or hypnotic pattern, to a dense, raga-like crescendo. Their "progressive rock" tag probably arose because they recorded for Harvest Records, Britain's leading art rock label, which was home to Pink Floyd, Kevin Ayers, Pete Brown, Edgar Broughton, and many other progressive acts."
Their debut release Alchemy sounds interesting, but I have not had the chance to hear it yet.
AMG quote "Third Ear Band here makes excursions into improvised chamber music. In the opener, "Mosaic," which is at seven minutes one of the longest cuts, guitar meets recorder and violin in a disharmonic free jazz summit that fades away before building into a trancy mini-crescendo. On "Stone Circle," recorder lines interweave over an unadorned drum's repetitive rhythm. At times the recorder lines are so fluid and unnatural they sound like they're being played backwards which indeed they just might be. Generally the remainder of the tracks run the course between half-structured improv and droning chaos. Comparisons could be drawn to Soft Machine or the Dream Syndicate, but neither quite has the sense of "collective first" nor the repetitive insistence of Third Ear Band."
From Britain.
Another album, Strategies Against Architecture II by Einstürzende Neubauten.
AMG quote "Along with Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle, Germany's Einstürzende Neubauten ("collapsing new buildings") helped pioneer industrial music with an avant-garde mix of white-noise guitar drones, vocals verging on unlistenable at times, and a clanging, rhythmic din produced by a percussion section consisting of construction materials, hand and power tools, and various metal objects."

For creepy, I recommend Burzum, "Det Som Engang Var". the guy's screeches sound truly authentic and painful, like he's recording himself while being tortured.
It's all depends on what 'does it' for you, I guess. A few suggestions would be anything from Cold Meat Industry (CMI), of which I'm waiting for 24 (yes 24!) CD's to rock up on my doorstep for my brother any day now. Thought I find bands like Arcana and Raison D'etre to be more hauntingly beautiful than creepy......
Also, Virgin Black, which has already been mentioned, and a band called Dargaard (Along the lined of Arcana and Raison D'etre).
The one/s that do it for me how ever would be La Masquerade Infernale and The Sham Mirrors by Arcturus. Fu**in' INSANE stuff that!!

Music that gives me chills isn't creepy music. That's beautiful/sad music.
There is some creepy music and the best things I would say is of course Type O Negative. More or less all their songs, but mostly from "Bloody kisses" & "World coming down".
And then there's one of my favorite artists: John Barry. His soundtracks to "The lion in winter" & "The last valley" are pretty spooky and creepy!
If we're talking music that gives me chills (beatiful & sad) let me link to the discussion we had once:
http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=49639
There are a few additions: Buddy Greco "My funny valentine" & "Angel eyes", Ryuichi Sakamoto "Open the door" & "Where is Armo?" (both from "The last emperor" soundtrack)
I can't remember if I've found more.

Arcturus is really creepy stuff.
And Nile will give you nightmares, specifically, "Unas, Slayer of the Gods"
I'm gonna get flamed for this, but...
The title track of the new Slipknot CD scared the crap outta me, the first time I I heard it.
Go ahead, flame away!
