Example of Ligeti:

I am not that well versed in classical music but creepy for my is the sterotypical horror movie song Bach, Toccata and Fugue in D minor.

Another idea is flowers of the forest

quality is not the best but you can get a sense for the song

Ase's Death from Peer Gynt Suite is definitely gloomy.

I have a CD called "Classics from the Crypt" and it includes these songs:

Bach: Toccata & Fugue in D Minor, BMV 565
Saint-Saens: Danse macabre
Gounod: Funeral March of a Marionnette
Mussorgsky: Night on Bald Mountain
Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique - March to the Scaffold
Grieg: "Peer Gynt" Suite No. 1 - In the Hall of the Mountain King
Liszt: Mephisto Waltz
Dukas: The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique - Dream of a Witches' Sabbath

I don't know that all of them actually sound scary or gloomy but the titles sure give that impression. You can always check them out.

I'm not sure if it has to be classical but...

+44's song "No it Isn't" is pretty gloomy... really good song though.
