Bald Of Awesome has been disambig'd and is no longer a trope

* KnightOfCerebus: Whenever he gets involved at any point in the show, things are guaranteed to get pretty bad. Not to mention frightening. In fact, BOB is arguably single-handedly responsible for most of the darkest elements in the show and most ''definitely'' in the prequel film. Plus, if you look at the NightmareFuel page for the show, he's responsible for at least 80% of the entries, being the main reason most of those scenes are considered scary.

[[folder:Angels]]
!!Angels
->Played by: Karin Robinson & Lorna MacMillan

Beings that resemble conventional angels and provide solace for distressed individuals.
-----
* ChekhovsGunman: In ''Fire Walk With Me'' Laura talks about angels and expresses a cynical view of them as not caring about humanity. A painting showing an angel that inexplicably fades away seemingly affirms this belief. By the end of the movie, an angel appears before Laura, which makes her realise she was wrong to doubt them.
* {{Foil}}: Could be seen as one for the Woodsmen. They wear immaculate white robes to contrast the Woodsmen's dirty black clothes. They're all depicted as female, while the Woodsmen are all male. They save people (or at least provide them comfort), while the Woodsmen harm people.
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Similar to the other supernatural beings, it's possible their angelic forms are just glamour to reassure the people who see them.
* HopeBringer: One appears right when Laura Palmer is being killed and is implied to save Ronette Pulaski. Another appears before Laura when her spirit is trapped in the Black Lodge and her very presence makes the cynical Laura cry TearsOfJoy.
* LightIsGood: A very blunt example.
