Twin Peaks/Nightmare Fuel


His name stands for "Beware of BOB", by the way.
  • BOB/ Leland Palmer
    • Everything is tolerable but his little Fred Astaire dance with the golf club in the episode where he's been driving around ALL DAY with Maddie's body in the trunk: there's something just creepingly, inexplicably nightmarish about the sheer randomness of it.
  • And Maddy's exceptionally violent (well, for network tv anyway) death.
  • Ronette's Dream at the end of S02E01 is a real whopper too.
  • The ending of the episode "Coma".
  • Leo's awakening midway through Season 2.
    • "Bye, wife."
  • Then of course there's the huge pile of Mind Screw / Surreal Horror that essentially makes up the entire last half hour of the final episode.

"How's Annie?" (Warning: HUGE spoilers!)

  • Mike Gerard's possession and recounting of the 'Fire Walk With Me' poem was particularly chilling. Hats off to Al Strobel for the shift from a kindly shoe salesman to an eerie ancient spirit.
  • Harold Smith's Freak-Out when he finds out Donna is secretly trying to take Laura's diary from him is fairly disturbing, considering how he was rather friendly to her at first.
  • How about in the second-to-last episode when Windom Earle comes back to his cabin after discovering the existence of the Black Lodge and his face has turned white and his teeth have become black?
  • Just about 90% of Fire Walk With Me, but notably the David Bowie scene.
    • The rape scene where Laura finds out Bob possessed her father.
  • That shadow on the curtain during Cooper's dream at the end of the second episode.
    • Apparently, it's supposed to be an owl. Not that it makes it any less creepy.
  • Maddie's vision of BOB.
  • Ronette Pulaski's first appearance, walking down the bridge in a daze, ropes dangling from her wrists.
  • Something about Cooper and Harry looking at Laura Palmer's dead body while the electricity flickered in and out made an otherwise normal (at least, normal for murder dramas) scene absolutely horrifying.
  • Ronette's arms slowly raising up as she sleeps alone in her hospital bed.
