8 Creepiest Twin Peaks Moments

David Lynch. He's a bit like marmite. Some love his terrifying cinematography, and the rest can't stand his agoraphobia-inducing shots and surreal dialogue.

From Eraserhead to Mulholland Drive the director is known for his inexplicable contributions to media. Stories and scenes that burn their way into your memory not with cheap tactics, but with shocking themes and psychological trickery.

For those who made it past the first episode of his cult series Twin Peaks, you'll know how much it subverted typical programming in the 90s, lampooning the serials of the day with its cliched characters, designed to draw you in as they find themselves caught in an increasingly absurd mystery.

The story of Laura Palmer unravelled before our eyes, with each twist and turn providing terrifying moments that have stuck with fans to this day, with the series cult following going near unmatched for decades.

Fans will remember the endearing characters like Agent Cooper and his love for Coffee, but also the exploits of the nefarious villains lurking in the Washington woods.

Following the recent return of the series, here's a list of clips from Twin Peaks' initial two-series run that provided the most Nightmare Fuel.

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.
