The Nine Inch Nails frontman and his frequent collaborator have created unsettling scores for David Fincher movies such as _The Social Network_ (for which they won an Academy Award) and _The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,_ and now they’re set to do the same with _Gone Girl_. [A preview of the score for the film](http://nin.com/ "undefined"), an adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s hit thriller starring Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike, is available on the Nine Inch Nails website ahead of the Oct. 3 theatrical release, and it features a familiar mix of industrial sounds, electronic instrumentation and creepy atmospherics inspired by — of all things — spa music. “Think about the really terrible music you hear in massage parlors,'” [Reznor told the Wall Street _Journal_](http://online.wsj.com/articles/david-fincher-turns-to-trent-reznor-and-atticus-ross-for-gone-girl-soundtrack-1409845014 "undefined"). “The way that it artificially tries to make you feel like everything’s OK.
