Man, it's been so long since the series, I can't even remember what the the scene was... was that a flashback to the original murder, or is that what happened to the cousin by her possessed uncle, who was the father of the original murdered girl? I can't even remember names now. Laura?
Oh yeah. I think Matt has cited this scene as one of the scariest in TV history.
Loved Twin Peaks - so many incredible scenes. My most disturbing was the one when Rhonda Pulasaki (I think that's her character's name - the other girl that survived from the freight car) came back to consciousness.
Matt and I are one on that, for sure. Hmm. I think maybe I'll add TP to the Netflix queue. It'd almost be like new again. Heh, my roomate from those days still occasionally asks for her coffee "...black as midnight on a moonless night," even though, yeah, I know how she takes her coffee.
Oh, and since we've been jabbering about upcoming DVD releases in Minearverse, I should note that Lois and Clark S1 is finally coming out on DVD this year. I don't think Tim wrote for it until S3, however. Still!
Twin Peaks was the only show to ever creep me out so much that I had to double check the locks on the front door, back door, garage door and basement door AND lock my bedroom door before I could sleep. I never lock my bedroom door.
Twin Peaks
S2 was reportedly scheduled for release in region 4 during September 2004. Approximately a month before the release date, the site with the info abruptly changed the year to 2005. Hopefully the reason was so the release could use the remastered video footage.
Twin Peaks is one I was pretty much too young for at the time, but I'd love to watch it from the beginning. But if I rent S1, it'll be missing the pilot?
The pilot is available, but it was released separately. I guess different entities owned the rights or something.
Oh yeah. I think Matt has cited this scene as one of the scariest in TV history.
Actually, the one I cited as such was the one where Ronette Pulaski wakes up and has all those strobed flashbacks to Bob beating her at the freight car - probably the scariest thing I'd ever seen until those hints of Monkey'sPaw!Joyce in "Forever." But the series had more than its fair share of creepitude, that's for sure.
A friend of mine who's a lawyer in Little Rock once ended up on a plane with the "Bob" actor - turns out he's a film/tv production guy that Lynch drafted for work in front of the cameras.
Frank Silva (Bob) was actually working as a set dresser on the pilot. Lynch made a joke about getting him in a shot, Silva deadpanned, "Okay," and Bob was born.
where whosit gets beaten to death by possessed father-guy, smashed into mirrors (I particularly remember that), dragged and slammed from wall to wall.
That was Maddy, the cousin. They filmed all of that with three different actors so nobody would know who the killer was. Poor Sheryl Lee spent a whole day getting thrown around.
...I know way too much Peaks trivia.
