If it’s Halloween, this must be Eraserhead!! Greetings, dark spirits and woodspeople of all shapes and sizes! Welcome to Back to the Double R’s Very Special Horrorshow, in which we wander through the industrial and psychological wastelands of David Lynch’s first creature feature film, Eraserhead. What better way to celebrate the Spooky Season than in lush black and white, and claustrophobic paranoia? In this episode, Jennifer spots Eraserhead lurking throughout Twin Peaks; Jonathan dissects Lynch’s sympathy for the grotesque; Colin plunges through the inescapable surreal; and Damon comes face to face with the clutches of parental anxiety. For the Twist, we examine the stripped down production techniques of black-and-white film and minimal dialogue and ponder how they can send shivers right down us!
Next month, it’s our long-rumored Musical Episode (well, sort of) in which we groove to Angelo Badalamenti’s timeless Twin Peaks soundtrack via Clare Nina Norelli’s book in the 33-1/3 series, available now via your local independent bookstore!
