Coraline

Coraline is an upcoming stop-motion film based on Neil Gaiman's award-winning book about a girl who discovers a portal to a hostile parallel world. As John Linnell describes it, in the novel at least, "A girl finds a door in her house that first opens to a brick wall, but at night, there's a crawlspace, a portal to another world. It seems appealing at first but it becomes very dark." The movie will also feature John Hodgman as Coraline's father(s).

They Might Be Giants are credited with creating the music for the film. All of the music seems to have already been completed but will probably not make any official appearance until closer to the film's release in February 2009. However, the song "Careful What You Pack" came out of the Coraline sessions and, after not being used for the film, was released on The Else. Although it had apparently been a challenge, TMBG hint that the music is creepy and hope it will meet the goal of being "sincerely scary" [1].

An article on mtv.com states that one song is for John Hodgman (as the Other Father) to sing to Coraline, "where the piano comes to life and plays him". Part of this song can be heard in this video on ign.com.
