Yeah it's a theme
Sort of Philip K Dick meets Freud.. if you want a cheesy soundbite.
precisely what i had in mind
i''m an open book
Or a character receives a phone call from another character while that character is sat there just across from them, very clearly not using a phone, in fact being completely silent, just learing at them unpleasantly, like in The Lost Highway. I found that scene very creepy.
I was getting youtube shorts from some guy who buys those those lockers when they've been unclaimed fof some time and in one he found a safe, got it open, but I think it contained a vial of dust or something like that
Probably sprinkle blood on it and it will reconstitute and come back to life... actually maybe don't do that.
I guess a lot of people do. This scene is more famous and often seen as more disturbing than the more obviously creepy one when they receive a video through the post that someone has recorded of them sleeping. When Lynch goes for surreal horror it doesn't always work, but this time he successfully landed some weird blow against normalcy that is very effective. Although most people probably can't exactly explain why it makes the hairs on the back of their necks stand up.
Sure - in one case you've got a horrible invasion of privacy and the supposed sanctity of your home, but it's achieved (presumably) with a tiny hidden camera, which is a pretty mundane piece of technology - while the other actually violates a pretty major law of reality.
I dunno man, I still sometimes awake in the dead of night, drenched in cold sweat, with those dread syllables from the Necronomicon swirling round and round in my head, threatening to drag me down once and for all into the nethermost realms of nightmare and madness...
