Killer Bob on Twin Peaks

When it comes to bizarre pop culture accidents, can't help but mention Killer Bob on Twin Peaks. Twin Peaks, a surreal mystery/horror drama created by David Lynch, featured bizarre imagery and characters. It's also a stunning example of Lynch's perplexing storytelling style. Because so much depended on an accident, the end result could not have been what he had envisioned from the start. Killer Bob was the result of that accident. Killer Bob is a fictional entity that can possess humans and cause them to commit heinous crimes such as murder. Bob was the series' antagonist, and he was played by a man named Frank Silva. But it all happened by chance.

In the show, Silva was a set dresser, which meant he did things like arrange furniture and hang photos to make the set look real for filming. Lynch liked Silva's appearance and shot a scene with him for no apparent reason, with Silva crouched behind a character's bed, unsure if he'd ever use it for anything. In a later scene, his reflection is caught in a mirror. David Lynch liked it so much that he kept it in and based Killer Bob on it. After Silva died, he even brought Bob back for the series sequel.

Year: 1990-1991

Events: Silva’s unnamed character would be revealed as Laura’s true killer.
