David Lynch and Nine Inch Nails have come together again. Lynch directed the video for “Came Back Haunted,” which somewhat unsurprisingly comes with a seizure warning and jiggly faces intercut with images of bug children and freaky masks. Lynch’s and Reznor’s paths have crossed before — “The Perfect Drug” was written for Lost Highway — but their styles are so complementary that fans are always coming up with new ways to smush their art together during their down time. Why not make it a trio and give Carly Rae Jepsen a call? Too crazy, maybe?
