8 Creepiest Twin Peaks Moments
8. The Couch
Best to start it off with a real doozy. Regardless of the situation, this scene could send any fan into shivers. Though, at its core, it's a man who looks like he works at a gas station clambering over a sofa.
Not too crazy right? Could be endearing in certain circumstances. Well, you probably aren't factoring in the concept that this is Killer BOB, resident Twin Peaks demon and the main antagonist of the series. Famously cast by Lynch after working as a set designer for the show and impressing with his natural evil, Frank Silva's snarling face comes right at the screen, almost as if he could reach out and grab you.
This moment is only exacerbated by David Lynch's direction. Within context, the viewer is already uncomfortable at the wide open space, waiting for the inevitable. The lack of pace from the antagonist is such a curveball too, with most Horror media opting for a 'victim chase' rather than a creeping approach.
The scene fades to black and is intercut with Maddy's screaming as he gets closer to her, pumping up the adrenaline, and then just like that, BOB's gone, and you're left with nightmares for months.
Bravo Lynch, Bravo.
