** Notice that each of them has a separate missing body part. One wears opaque eye covers (probably blind), one has missing ears, and one has a stitched up mouth. This could be a very subtle homage to the MonkeyMoralityPose.

* Glossu-Rabban's idea of a refreshing beverage is a small alien creature (known in production notes as a "squoog") in a tiny glass box with a piston and straw. He presses down on the button and ''crushes it'' to drink its blood. House Harkonnen is so casually sadistic that even its ''juiceboxes'' involve killing something helpless!
* The Baron coating himself in trickling machine oil before pinning a servant against a wall and tearing out his heartplug, doing [[NothingIsScarier something]] [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything VERY wrong]] to him offscreen that leaves him in a bloody heap on the floor. And everyone watches with amusement.
-->'''Vladimir Harkonnen''': ''(Thinking)'' This is what I'll do to the Duke and his family.
* The Baron celebrating his "victory" over House Atreides by [[LaughingMad flying around and laughing like a maniac]] to [[HellIsThatNoise deranged kazoo-like music]] while several little people butcher a dead cow for food. [[{{SurrealHorror}} It is...upsetting.]]
** And that's ''before'' he commands Rabban to [[OmnicidalManiac slaughter every last remnant of their opposition remaining on Arrakis]] as the Na-Baron chews on a cow tongue.
-->'''Vladimir Harkonnen''': Do not show the slightest pity or mercy!
** Then Feyd walks out of his steam bath, barely dressed and standing triumphantly as the Baron practically ''salivates'' over the sight of his ''own nephew.''

** Creator/DavidLynch took quite a few liberties with the source material: Navigators actually resemble semi-humanoid manta rays, which are admittedly still in the realm of NightmareFuel, but not ''that'' bad.
