2 | [[caption-width-right:346:''"We've met before, haven't we?"'']] |
3 | * ''Every'' scene with the Mystery Man. |
4 | ** "''I'm at your house... ''" |
5 | ** When he [[EvilLaugh laughs]] in [[MindScrew real life and at the other end of the phone]] [[VoiceOfTheLegion simultaneously.]] |
6 | ** Pete gets a phone call from Mr. Eddy, who then hands it off to "a friend of mine." |
7 | --->'''Mystery Man:''' In the East, the Far East, when a person is sentenced to death, they're sent to a place where they can't escape, never knowing when an executioner may step up behind them, and fire a bullet into the back of their head. |
8 | * Especially eerie is the [[HarsherInHindsight real-life parallels]] of Robert Blake playing a creepy criminal in a movie about a man murdering his wife. It gets worse if one considers that Lynch was inspired by the O.J. Simpson murder case while directing the movie. |
9 | * The scene where Fred finds the Mystery Man just....standing there. [[NothingIsScarier Nothing creepy, just standing there and smiling.]] |
10 | ** There's something so [[MindScrew inexplicably creepy]] about the way he randomly takes out a video camera and starts filming Fred while still talking to him. |
11 | --->'''Mystery Man:''' And your name.......'''WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR NAME?''' |
12 | ** After seeing him so eerily calm and utterly unflappable for the entire rest of the movie, watching the Mystery Man become inexplicably enraged and shout Fred for asking a simple question is....[[OOCisSeriousBusiness disturbing.]] |
13 | * The video tapes at the beginning are incredibly unsettling as they are the work of a stalker breaking into someone's home. |
14 | * Fred's dream about Renee, where she "isn't Renee, but looks like her" |
15 | * When the lights flash after Fred returns from the party with the Mystery Man. |
16 | * Fred's hallucinations in prison. |
17 | * Mr Eddy: ''Her name is Alice. I swear I love that girl to death. If I ever found out someone was making out with her. I'd take this'' - pulls out a pistol - ''and shove it so far up his ass it would come out his mouth. Then you know what I'd do? I'd blow his fuckin' brains out.'' |
18 | * Fred's wanderings around his house at night definitely qualify. No cheap {{Jump Scare}}s - NothingIsScarier at its best indeed. |
