I thought a few here might like this given its fun horror theme, Lovecraft (and briefly Pennywise), and that the first one includes the book as well as the movie by Neil Gaiman (which I know a few here are a fan of). I personally liked the natural cadence of both (I could imagine them by a campfire), but it's easy enough to play them faster if desired.
This, referencing the book (with page numbers) as well as movies, essentially speculates that the tunnel is part of some cosmic horror, a living entity in which the Beldam is merely a parasite seeking to entrap and eat kids to sustain itself before the Beast she exists within can (and that Beast is waking up more and more as Coraline travels through its gullet between worlds). 13 minutes (just over) to the end credits:
(Those who liked the Art of Dreaming by Castenada might also find it of interest.)
This one has similar ideas, though a surprising one that casts the Cat as the secret villain. It also explores the world as Lovecraftian (and I liked the idea that the well was created by some ancient hyperdimensional meteor that crashed there), though in this case the Beldam is trying to save itself by binding children for sacrifice, and thus literally meant it when she shrieked at an escaping Coraline, "I'll die without you!" This should start after the 3 minute mark, and is pretty much over just after the 10 minute mark:
