The thing I found most compelling about Twin Peaks was its ability, 
particularly early in the first season, to make me afraid of the dark
in a way I haven't been in years. Thinking about favorite scenes,
I initially came up with the usual list: Maddy's murder, the scene in
the railroad car (end of 1st episode of 2nd season), and so on. But the
more I thought about it, the more I remembered stuff from early on. 
Remember the scene where Bobby and friend (Mike?) are meeting Leo in
the woods to tell him they don't have the money they owe him? It's night,
owls are hooting, the flashlight beam is lighting the trees in a spooky way
and someone is making noise just beyond its range.... (Remember, this was 
before Leo became a comedic figure - he seemed intensely evil in a way Windom
Earl never was). I didn't keep tapes of TP, so this is all fading memory, 
but it had an intensity for me at the time that I find quite hard to believe 
now.
