i was only scrolling down on instagram and suddenly saw a clip of a girl singing the alphabet song. it was David Lynch's short film of a creepy animation of sleep paralysis while mentioning all the letters. i just couldn't get enough sleep right now because of this.

A disturbing three minutes, David Lynch’s experimental short film from 1969 is a horrifying look at nightmares. But I can’t even begin to tell you what Lynch is trying to say with this one.
