I would say that Edwin Arlington Robinson was a pretty dark and creepy poet. I've always enjoyed him. Goethe is another one.
 
some of t.s. eliot's stuff is creepy- and so is some of mine. also check out the song lyrics site for cradle of filth- everything they write is creepy! i like nymphetimine and absinthe with faust
 
me
well sometimes
you have ethical grounds
testing theories
as I hide my face
in the crimson hoard
the blood sea
the red rains
the moon tides
washing away my shame
and I have known you well
from the dawn of our time
that scorn
hells own flame
made to walk the earth
ignited by the spark
that is lit by that step
hips hitting switches
test me once
and have your answers
I say
crass manor
like sharp shards
diamond splinters
I was fisted open
and sown shut
with a roach
buried in my heart
 
Henry King's Exequy is probably the creepiest poem in English. But very few people understand it enough to realise what is actually being said.

Aleister Crowley is pretty challenging until you get used to him. Here is

Sleeping in Carthage

The month of thirst is ended. From the lips
That hide their blushes in the golden wood
A fervent fountain amorously slips,
The dainty rivers of thy luscious blood;
Red streams of sweet nepenthe that eclipse
The milder nectar that the gods hold good--
How my dry throat, held hard between thy hips,
Shall drain the moon-wrought flow of womanhood!

Divinest token of sterility,
Strange barren fountain blushing from the womb,
Like to an echo of Augustan gloom
When all men drank this wine; it maddens me
With yearnings after new divinity,
Prize of thy draught, some where beyond the tomb.
