My sister bought the Season 1 box set of Twin Peaks, which is a TV show written by David Lynch and Mark Frost that aired from 1990 to 1991. It was the most popular show in the early '90's winning the Emmy, Peabody and Golden Globe awards.
I remember hearing about it but was too young to watch it when it was on television.
I can confidently say it is one of the weirdest, most disturbing shows I've seen.
The whole show is focused on the murder of a teenage girl, Laura Palmer, and her finding out who her killer was.
The story is pushed forward through the eerily eccentric townspeople and FBI detective Dale Cooper's dreams. Agent Cooper, played by Kyle Maclachlan, differs from the ordinary FBI agent because he bases much of his detective work on intuition and dreams. He uses his "6th sense" to weed out potential suspects and narrow down the perpetrator.

In one particular dream he sees a one-armed man named Mike who recites a poem:
"Through the darkness of future past/
The magician longs to see/
One chants out between two worlds/
Fire walk with me."
Mike tells Cooper about another man named Bob and how they killed together.
Agent Cooper then finds himself twenty-five years later in a mysterious red room where he encounters a small man who intones clues to Cooper in strange phrases while dancing to a jazzy beat.

The character Bob is played by a man name Frank Silva who at first only worked on the set of Twin Peaks.
During one of the scenes Frank was accidentally caught in a shot behind Laura's bed and was so frightening that Lynch asked him to play the character BOB.
This is the accidental
shot that got Silva in the
show.
After seeing this first glimpse of Bob I was horrified.
Sarah Palmer, Laura's mother, sees him and freaks out...as did I.
I am a baby and got nightmares from the few episodes that I've seen so I haven't seen any more. Kirsten is trying to coax me into letting her rent them on NetFlix...but it's going to take a lot more than a pint of Half Baked Ben and Jerry's.
