David
Lynch has made many creepy flix, but the scene in Blue Velvet where
Frank Booth (played by Dennis Hopper) comes home while Jeffrey (Kyle
MacLachlan) is hiding in his closet sticks out. I'll let retroCRUSH
fan Jack Frink take it from here...
"Even
though the film is not a "horror" film exactly, I'd have to say one
of the scariest moments ever is the scene in Blue Velvet
where Dennis Hopper's psychotic kidnapper/drug dealer Frank Booth is
introduced. He walks into Isabella Rossellini's apartment, sits down
with a glass of brandy, and then, while Kyle Maclachlan watches,
begins to brutalize and molest Rossellini's character in one of the
most shocking and disturbing scenes in film history. It's not that it
is "jump out at you" scary, it is much more effective because its a
perverse, backwards, repulsive act being portrayed by a sick,
monstrous character."
