History NightmareFuel / TwinPeaks

* And Maddy's exceptionally violent (well, for network TV [[SeinfeldIsUnfunny at the time]] anyway) death.

* The ending of Part 18, just... [[MindScrew what]]. For more perspective, the ending left most a bit shocked, if at best, more completely stumped, adding to the horror. Just what did happen? Who did Carrie/Laura scream at? Why did we still hear Sarah calling for Laura despite the Palmer residence was owned by someone else? Why did Carrie/Laura scream after Cooper asked about the year?. Just... '''what'''?!
** The fact the episode and ''entire series'' ended with Carrie/Laura's horrified and completely spine chilling scream makes it worse.

* Windom Earle's appearance becomingghastly as he is looming over Leo, with an extremely pale face and blackened teeth.

* Leland's revelation about BOB's possession and the murder of his daughter [[AdultFear can be this from his perspective.]]

** A subtle aspect of BOB's menace is that every time he appears, [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou he`s looking straight at you]].

* Harold Smith's FreakOut when he finds out Donna is secretly trying to take Laura's diary from him]] is really disturbing considering [[spoiler:how he was so friendly before.

!! The Return

** The speculation is all over the map that everyone's left terrified at what Cooper did after he saved Laura's life. Not helped by the fact at how barren Twin Peaks is.

Despite its picturesque, peaceful facade, the town of Twin Peaks, can be a very scary place.

** BOB's ''voice'' alone is pretty terrifying. When BOB talks to Cooper in the Black Lodge before taking Windom Earle's soul, his voice sounds strangled and almost animalistic. And that is to say nothing of BOB's EvilLaugh which sounds like an angry dog barking. For an actor that was hired on a whim, Frank Silva is really good at selling us on BOB's character as a force of pure malevolence.

** A subtle aspect of BOB`s menace is that every time he appears, [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou he`s looking straight at you]].

* [[https://youtu.be/dOLb1nThRds Josie Packard`s fate]].

* Part 11 has the car accident outside the diner. The thought of a child getting ahold of a loaded gun and firing it in a random direction is terrifying enough, but what's really unnerving is when Bobby looks inside on of the cars and sees a girl convulsing and regurgitating as she writhes out of the car towards him. It's never made clear what happened to her or her final fate.

** The match itself is incredibly drawn out, but it's clear from the beginning that Mr. C is never doing to lose. The sickening way he toys with his opponent before brutally splattering him is incredibly off-putting.

* Part 16. [[spoiler:[[CruelAndUnusualDeath Richard Horne's death]].]] While it was indeed awesome to watch, it is horrifying to watch [[spoiler:him]] suffer in utter agony from the electrocution. Bear in mind, it isn't normal electrocution where the person dies in a couple of seconds, this electrocution was half a minute of screen time.
** [[spoiler:Diane's FaceHeelTurn]], or as we are led to believe. [[spoiler:She was actually a tulpa that was in place of the real Diane the entire time with her memories and thoughts, bringing the character's entire interaction with Cole, Albert, and Tammy frightening with this now in mind.]]

* The ending of Part 18, just... [[MindScrew what]]. For more perspective, the ending left most a bit shocked, if at best, more completely stumped, adding to the horror. Just what did happen? [[spoiler: Who did Carrie/Laura scream at? Why did we still hear Sarah calling for Laura despite the Palmer residence was owned by someone else? Why did Carrie/Laura scream after Cooper asked about the year?]]. Just... '''what'''?!

** The sound of confusion and slight panic when Cooper asks "what year is it". It's beginning to dawn on him how messed up things have become and he's just as lost as the rest of us.]]
** And then there's the fact that, unlike the previous episodes, [[spoiler: there's no performance at the roadhouse to close out the show's run. Instead, the credits roll over a barely-visible photo of Cooper and Laura during the recreated "twenty-five years later" scene. It's also worth noting that Cooper looks absolutely horrified.]]
** spoiler: The all around ambiguous nature of the finale can leave the viewer feeling sick to their stomach. Where the hell did Cooper and Laura wind up? Where is everybody? What did Cooper do to the timeline? Can they fix it? '''WHAT YEAR IS IT?!'''

** The way the box gets darker and darker before this ghostly pale figure just ''appears'' in it is just extremely unsettling. [[spoiler: That isn't even including the part where it, for lack of a better term, ''mauls'' Sam and Tracey to death.]]
** In episode 3, [[spoiler: their bodies are shown in a crime scene photo '''HORRIBLY''' mangled. Their heads and necks for the most part look like they've been caved in and the room was ''drenched'' in blood.]]
* There is a scene in the first episode of season 3 in which a man is crying in a jail cell; the camera pans past him, and there is another man with a beard covered completely in dark gray paint, but whose eyes are extremely white and also TURN SLOWLY TO FACE THE CAMERA.
* The initial discovery of Ruth (and then the complete reveal of her body, [[spoiler: made much worse when you find out the body doesn't even belong to Ruth. ]]) is completely disgusting and wrong looking.
* The pink room Cooper visits [[spoiler: after being thrown out of the Black Lodge.]] The woman within moves in a strange, unearthly fashion, [[EyeScream has no eyes, or even sockets,]] and the door in the back is constantly being angrily pounded upon by her [[NothingIsScarier unseen]] "mother."

* [[spoiler: BOB!Cooper is just as terrifying as you'd imagine, if not more so.]] Unlike with [[spoiler: Leland]], he's cold and calculating, yet still positively ruthless. [[spoiler: The scene where he brutally murders Daria, and its build up which involves holding her down tightly and interrogating her, is chill-inducing.]]

* [[spoiler:When Cooper's getting out of the Black Lodge or at least traveling through other forms of realities, something happens to BOB!Cooper in the real world to the point where he begins to vomit up all of the Garmonbozia he had been collecting over the years.]]

* In 3.05, [[spoiler: the scene of BOB!Cooper looking in the mirror, and his face slowly morphing into BOB's. Subtle, and incredibly creepy.]]
* Doc Hayward recalls that one of the only things "Cooper" did before leaving Twin Peaks was visiting a comatose Audrey. Given that the same episode heavily implies [[spoiler: the Doppelganger raped Diane]] and there's a [[spoiler: new Horne running around who could definitely be 25]] the implications are very unpleasant...
** And if that is the case, it would certainly explain a lot of [[spoiler:Richard's behavior.]]

* [[spoiler:Sarah Palmer removing her face in Part 14, at first revealing a void and then a disturbing smile. This somehow causes the bar patron tormenting her to get his throat ripped out.]]

** [[spoiler: The fact the episode and ''entire series'' ended with Carrie/Laura's horrified and completely spine chilling scream makes it worse]].
