10 Most Paused Moments In Horror TV Shows
1. Twin Peaks - Bob's Reflection (S1 Ep1 Pilot)
The first episode of David Lynch's mind-bending series Twin Peaks saw the town trying to come to terms with the death of Homecoming Queen Laura Palmer, whose body washed up on the riverbank, wrapped in plastic. As her death is investigated, we eventually learn that she had been abused and finally murdered by her father, who had been possessed by Bob, an interdimensional demon created from an atomic bomb blast in New Mexico.
Bob is first seen properly in the second episode when Laura's mother Sarah sees him crouching behind Laura's bed, staring menacingly back at her during a vision. However, this wasn't the first time he appeared, and his origin story led fans to revisit the first episode, ready with the pause button.
The Pilot episode ended with Sarah experiencing another disturbing vision. However, set dresser Frank Silva accidentally appeared in the shot reflected in mirror behind her. David Lynch saw the scene and liked the look of Silva so much he decided to keep it in the show and cast him as Bob, changing the storyline from the original plan of Laura's killer just being her father.
