It wouldn't be the same, cause Lynchian horror is about having that stuff exist within really mundane places. it's not about the contrasts between cherry pie and demons but moreso the realisation that it was always hidden from view in the places and things you see everyday. It's just around the corner, hidden beneath the grass and picket fencesOverall, it's Eraserhead, but for single moment it's gotta be the thing behind Winkie's. I shudder to think what a full blown horror film from David Lynch would look like
Came here to say this. I can at least try to make sense of his other creeps. This is just a straight-up nightmare.
What are the other two if you don't mind me asking?
This image still lives in my mind. That and Cooper in the mirror (How's Annie).
The baby in Eraserhead. No contest. I was creeped out for months after watching that movie.
Interesting, it just seemed like he was a well-intentioned messenger to me
sometimes I just search for this to look at it. It just unsettles me from head to toe. The angle, lighting, bone structure on this man. All engineered to heebie my jeebies.
This is how I feel about Inland Empire.Eraserhead is the closest movie I've seen to a nightmare come to life.
Yeah the last ~40 seconds are deeply unsettling/disturbingThis bit from Mulholland Drive always upsets my brain in a lot of ways.
And then later when they're crawling under the door.
Don't mind at all. The other two are Nightmare on Elm Street 1 (the scene with Johnny Depp's death really messed me up and traumatized me) and The Blob 1988 (still can't watch it through to this day).
