She's adorable! I wish I had a chipmunk-cheeked lady in my radiator doing the foxtrot to ragtime pipe organ (LOL). On a more serious note, to understand the inspiration behind this movie you would have had to have lived in Philadelphia's Callowhill section of the city back in the 60's when it was a landscape of post industrial decay. David Lynch has spoken of his experience living in the general area while attending art school there. Many areas just north of center city were and still are chock full of settings right out of Erasorhead. I grew up in Philadelphia during the 60's, 70's and 80's until I left. I worked in various old brick factory buildings in bad neighborhoods so I can relate to this movie so well. The first time I saw Erasorhead I was in awe of the fear and darkness that David was able to capture. Granted, this movie is bizarre and difficult to relate to for most people but having worked in some really depressing post industrial areas of Philadelphia when I was young, this movie instantly struck a chord in me.
+E.PLUMBUS UNUM I didn't grow up there, but instead the industrial part of South L.A./Harbor City/Wilmington near the refineries (think "Blade Runner refinery scene) and the neighborhood where I lived had a run down movie theater that functioned as a matinee $1 regular movie theater during the day and an adult theater on the weekends at night. There were also naval and auto junkyards everywhere with the sound of big rigs and the ocean freight horns would echo through the nighttime air. Seeing this movie for the first time in '81 I immediately was drawn into Lynch's appreciation of all things considered mundane and unappealing to the common eye. Ever since then I've followed his work and even pursued a career in film making.
You're describing the Philadelphia I grew up in during the 1960's. Junkyards, refineries, distilleries, lots of old factories, a huge Navy yard. Depending on what way the wind was blowing you either got to smell the effluents from the refineries or the potato mash cooking from the distilleries. The shipyard steam whistle would growl out at the end of each shift and at noon. There were railroad tracks everywhere. Having grown up in this environment, it was normal to me and I took it all in with wonder in intrigue. Since that time the city landscape has gone through an evolution due to gentrification. Much of the old is long gone as well as the jobs: replaced with tons of mini strip malls complete with Chinese restaurants, manicure parlors and dollar stores selling cheap made-in-China crap. Some of the factory buildings are now strip joints. In retrospect, I might be inclined to think that the Philly of my youth was an industrial cesspool; however, now it's a new kind of cesspool. I escaped to rural New Jersey and have no intention to ever return to an urban setting. Anyhow, If you're ever in Philadelphia, you can still see some of the old industrial architecture just north of center city. They are preserving a lot of this architecture as well as modernizing their interiors and turning them into lofts for yuppies.
E.PLUMBUS UNUM this kinda reminds me of a place called Wilmington in California, it’s industrial, gross,beat down and full of refineries and junkyards :/
For some reason Pennsylvania has always seemed like the most depressing state in the US and I've never even been there. I always pictured a depressing setting there. Sorry. And it's spelled Eraserhead. Sorry to be such a smartass😁
She's like a video game character or a nutcracker. She iterates through 5 or so emotions that resemble children's reactions in old Hollywood movies. I think the lack of complexity in emotion, a post-nuclear radiated animatronic look within a decaying industrial circus music box set up makes it pretty terrifying.
I've seen Eraserhead several times, and I can see a bit of nightmarish fun in it, each time I do. David Lynch certainly is the master of very macabre humor
An old friend and long ago roommate once got this song to play on a loop. And loudly. Then he just left his sterio on, took off and locked his door with a deadbolt. We al lasted two days before we broke in
If the Black Lodge in Twin Peaks and the “dancing demon” are a hellscape then I guess this would be Lynch’s version of a heaven and the angel of death as many comments have interpreted. Out of context, snippets of the movie are a grotesque, low-budget B movie collection of randomness. But it pulls me in and I found myself kinda glued to the story and the weird visuals.
it is the stepping and crushing that gives the scene its spooky power. She will step on those loathsome worm like creatures. they crush pleasingly under her delicate feet. She wants to please and will step on more.
So is this a hallucination or is watching mutant women who live in your radiator awkwardly dance the hottest new form of entertainment in the shitty industrial futurescape?
I remember my first viewing just a couple years ago, my brother kept walking in and out, curious about it but too unsettled to stay. After this, at the end, I was just like “What the fuck.” And he asked me what I meant and I just said “I have no idea” 😂 And I still have no idea, but I love it
I'm going to guess that you didn't want to send the extra money for all the options which are featured in this video. I went all out and got the entire package. You can't beat it for insomnia. Luls me right to sleep.
lady knows best....step on the alien "waaak wowa" before it grows into a big "waak wowa" and helps to destroy the earth, just like all the other waaak wow'as.
Weird and weird, does the radiator give you the image of the alien woman, do you suppose she connects with you? She is singing and you can't help but notice those chipmunk cheeks. What planet do you suppose she's from? Mitchell v. Rust Movie Prods., 2023 Cal. Super. LEXIS 34079
Nope, actually, she's the main characters conscience telling him to kill his mutant, half-dead child to end both his and its own suffering. Because in heaven, everything is fine.
+Семен Черный The song title is "Stompin The Bug" performed by Fats Waller. This recording was made in 1927 at Trinity Baptist Church in Camden New Jersey and was recorded by the Victor Talking Machine Company.
Jese Alonzo Rodriguez Villa she is stomping the evil creatures (That look like Henry’s baby) She is a manifestation of hope, while Henry’s baby is the manifestation of his fear. She is helping him overcome his fear Atleast that’s how I interpret the scene
This movie is the closest film has ever come to accurately conveying the feeling of a fever dream.
Don't Kick The Children YES!!!
Don't Kick The Children yes!
watch Meshes of the Afternoon by Maya Deren, a huge influence on Lynch
It will put you to sleep because of all the white noise, but then wake you the hell up at the worst times like this one.
Nah, watch Jacob’s Ladder

@@Karmen2010 maybe it's just me but I don't find it depressing - not any more or less than any other northwestern state that is.
She dances so sweet. I love her
Only someone who has been through real darkness knows how comforting that is.
Absolutely!
It solves far more than it unsolves somehow
In Heaven
Everything is fine
You got your good thing
And I got mine

I have to say that was the most unusual string of adjectives I’ve ever read to describe a character and a setting, but it makes complete sense
You're using ALL of your college degree explaining this one!
This movie makes me very uncomfortable beyond words can describe. Yet, it's mesmerizing in a strange way that's almost impossible to explain...
I was just as nervous as her when I first went in front of a live audience to do a cancer-cheeks dance.
Sleep Paralysis: The Movie
ikr the entire time i was forced to watch
How? Sleep paralysis is nothing like this.
@@richardsantanna5398 Maybe for you
For the first time in my life I'm speechless! I can't stop watching, AMAZING MOVIE!!!!
I've seen Eraserhead several times, and I can see a bit of nightmarish fun in it, each time I do. David Lynch certainly is the master of very macabre humor
Best pro-choice campaign I've ever seen
I’ve been looking for this scene for a long time. I saw this when I was like 6 and have been looking for it

Lmao wtf
There is something so comforting about this
Seven people don't have ladies in their radiators.
What??
@@PB-mp7qthes making a joke about how 6 years ago 7 people disliked the video which as a joke could mean the og comment

I am mesmerized by this scene, it gives me stimulating pleasure I can't explain
henrix999 That's David Lynch's films in a nutshell
God youre a weirdo.
Am i the only one who's expecting her to sing?
She does sing later on. Watch the full movie.
Haunting and mesmerizing to watch..................
He captured THAT feeling
Ahh I know which one you're talking about
what feeling?
ヘビをつぶしても笑っているところが好き。
This lady is so charming!
Written and performed by Peter Ivers specifically for the film
She does seem rather cheeky....
I'll leave....
it is the stepping and crushing that gives the scene its spooky power. She will step on those loathsome worm like creatures. they crush pleasingly under her delicate feet. She wants to please and will step on more.

2:08 she kinda looks cute despite how creepy the story is
Yep - your mum is truly photogenic.
All for you, Darling.Schultz She says shyly
Me after the lobotomy
Being first time dad this movie really hits home
thats sounds horrible
It's like David Lynch is putting off his dreams down on paper
Remember when THIS was the "ultimate midnight movie" and not Rocky Horror?
It’s too intense for most people
She's so cute!
It's actually a dude playing her character
So is this a hallucination or is watching mutant women who live in your radiator awkwardly dance the hottest new form of entertainment in the shitty industrial futurescape?
+Foul Fagus Actually, it is you she is hallucinating, but persists in her little performance. Gotta hand it to the girl!
I remember my first viewing just a couple years ago, my brother kept walking in and out, curious about it but too unsettled to stay. After this, at the end, I was just like “What the fuck.” And he asked me what I meant and I just said “I have no idea” 😂
And I still have no idea, but I love it
Why do I got a regular old radiator?

When I saw this I thought that what kind of mushrooms and drugs David Lynch had taken while creating this movie.
2:53
Meghan Trainor
How does one get picked for a role like this?
Impressing David Lynch in some way.
David looks at headshots and meditates about them.
big cheeks innit
lady knows best....step on the alien "waaak wowa" before it grows into a big "waak wowa" and helps to destroy the earth, just like all the other waaak wow'as.

Great flick

Thank you.
She's hate itself!

Because in heaven, everything is fine.
There are many interpretations and many doors in a world without socks.
TheCactusSword
There are endless explanations, but as Lynch intended, the explenation is left to the viewer and is mean to be dreamy nonsense.
The bearded Lady in the woods
My little lady is in the electrical socket
How the fuck did an algorithm get me here?!
What's up with them cheeks?
They're full of puss.
Ewww. I never thought of that. I thought they were just repeatedly steam burned and scared over, or that she was in a king of "radiator side show."
They supposedly represent ovaries
@@GalekC if that's the case, do u know what her stomping on those critters that looks similar to his baby? Thx!

The moment of conception was at the beginning of the movie with his head floating

Can anyone tell me what is going on right now in this video
I doubt David Lynch even knows😂
Lol everyone's thoughts through the whole movie

What instrument is being played? Is it an organ?
No, it's an acoustic guitar

Werms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does no one gonna talk about how they used a actual human fetus in this scene or are we just gonna ignore that
Im surprised ' they ' would suggest anything so incredibly stupid. Never happened, pleae stfu.
I dont get it
Jese Alonzo Rodriguez Villa she is stomping the evil creatures (That look like Henry’s baby)
She is a manifestation of hope, while Henry’s baby is the manifestation of his fear.
She is helping him overcome his fear
Atleast that’s how I interpret the scene
This is supposed to be scary?
***** and just lovely (?
***** no it's not
Some say it's David's take on the difficulties of fatherhood. I don't think we'll ever know
"You decide"
-David Lynch.
+Josh B Scary? It's just surreal as fuck. It can be pretty damn frightening when you're tripping your balls off though.
In his world nothing is pretty.
What is the funny song playing please???!!
