chills = east hastings by godspeed you black emperor.

also - good morning captain by slint

dive by nirvana

Pretty much any music where there is a dark foreboding

dark foreboding = chills, to put it more succinctly

Yeah David Lynch did Fire Walk With Me. I just saw it for the first time like 2 days ago, whoa it was better than I expected but still kinda dumb. I didn't watch much of the Twin Peaks series, only the pilot episode, but surprisingly Fire Walk With Me still wrapped it up pretty well. David Lynch also did: Dune, Wild At Heart, Blue Velvet, The Straight Story, Lost Highway, Eraserhead, "Rabbits" (which is THE creepiest movie I've ever seen), Mullholland Drive, Twin Peaks (series) and Fire Walk With Me, and a cartoon series on his website called Dumbland (which I think is hilarious). If anyone is interested in seeing Rabbits or Dumbland, due to their shortness, I would be willing to send them over AIM. They are both pay to see series' that he has on his website--I got them off of emule.

What is it about? lol, I couldn't tell you cause it doesn't make sense, but I'll explain what it's like. OK the perspective of it is a stationary camera in this room that has a couch, an ironing board, a door to the left, and some stairs in the back. You can see the whole room and the camera doesn't move through the whole series. There are people in the room, but they aren't just regular people, they have rabbit masks that cover their whole heads with huge floppy ears. At the beginning of it, one of the female rabbits is ironing and another rabbit comes down the stairs and sits on the couch... It's silent for about 2 minutes. Then they start talking to eachother, but it's not like a conversation, it's like individual thoughts, one after their other, that don't necessarily relate to eachother. I forgot to mention, during the whole movie there is the faint sound of rain, and some VERY VERY creepy music playing. OK after the first conversation, the door suddenly opens, it's a guy in a rabbit mask and a suit, he stops right after he opens the door. All of the sudden you hear canned laughter and applause, like you would on a sitcom... A few seconds pass, and all the rabbits are frozen in place, and they hear the laughter, you can tell cause everytime the laughter comes on, they pause what they're doing and look at the camera. OK I won't give much more of it away, but basically the laughter comes in at times that make no sense, almost like it is to the torment of the rabbits, a lot of times after they say something very serious or morbid. The rabbits keep referring to a "man in the green jacket" who seems to be the bad guy. Naomi Watts plays one of the Rabbits and the other 2 are unknown actors. It doesn't ever wrap up or make sense, it's supposed to be mysterious and speculative... Sound interesting? It is, but it's gets kinda old cause nothing makes sense in it.

Are you talking about the song in Donnie Darko where the guy says "killing time"? If so that song gives me the chills too, weird.

Here's a link to the "Rabbits" movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0347840/

And here's one for David Lynch: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000186/

I googled it, found it was Echo and the Bunnymen "The Killing Moon"... Never would've guessed it was them.

My favorite creepy soundtrack is definitely A Clockwork Orange. Proto-electronic classical music, wow what a genre. I love the title theme song, it's probably my favorite electronic song ever.

I've never seen a Clockwork Orange...I've heard many things about it though.

I like the way they did it.... It doesn't make sense at the beginning but as you watch it you see how everything is all connected.... Thats also a must see.....
