Halloween: Eraserhead

Halloween is a good time to watch horror movies (they also pump me up for the new Snowy episode).

First up, after hearing about it for over ten years, I finally watched David Lynch’s Eraserhead. The movie was released in 1979.


This movie is very strange, dark, and hard to understand. So needless to say, it’s not for everyone. As an artist, I can appreciate what that went into this movie. It’s easy to see that the director (David Lynch) spent a great deal of time on creating and maintaining a bizarre atmosphere and an unusual method of storytelling. I found the movie to be enjoyable, even though I’m still not sure what the hell was going on half the time.
