Eraserhead/YMMV

"OKAY PAUL!'"
 * Alternate Character Interpretation: Is Henry a put upon man, a neurotic womanizer, or, indeed, completely insane?
 * Big Lipped Alligator Moment: Two major scenes in the movie could either be this or subtle touches of symbolism.
 * The twenty or so minutes of deleted scenes from the original print (now lost) were supposedly cut for being too much BLAM...
 * Squick: See Nightmare Fuel and add the worms (quite possibly giant sperm) that are everywhere.
 * They may symbolize giant sperm, but they are umbilical cords swiped out of a hospital dumpster. One assistant stepped on one accidentally and was so disgusted that she quit the whole production.
 * Another interpretation is that the worms are developing foetuses of monster-children much like the baby Henry and Mary already produced.
 * Ear Worm: the "Lady in the Radiator" scene. Among other kinds of worm.
 * Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory: Henry's world certainly feels like purgatory.
 * Freud Was Right
 * Hey Its That Guy: Paul is Napoleon Wilson.
 * I Am Not Shazam: There is nobody named "Eraserhead" in this movie. Despite what you might think, the title doesn't refer to Henry's haircut, . It Makes Just As Much Sense in Context.
 * Large Ham: The Manager of the Pencil Factory


 * Reptiles Are Abhorrent: If the baby, looking like the love child of a tadpole and the Loch Ness monster, counts.
 * True Art Is Incomprehensible
 * The Woobie: Henry, briefly, Paul, The Baby.
 * Ugly Cute: The baby.
 * And the Lady in the Radiator.
