Eraserhead is a 1977 American surrealist body horror film written and directed by filmmaker David Lynch. Shot in black-and-white, Eraserhead is Lynch's first feature-length film, coming after several short works. The film was produced with the assistance of the American Film Institute (AFI) during the director's time studying there. Starring Jack Nance, Charlotte Stewart, Jeanne Bates, Judith Anna Roberts, Laurel Near, and Jack Fisk, it tells the story of Henry Spencer (Nance), who is left to care for his grossly deformed child in a desolate industrial landscape. Throughout the film, Spencer experiences dreams or hallucinations, featuring his child and the Lady in the Radiator (Near).
Eraserhead spent several years in principal photography because of the difficulty of funding the film; donations from Fisk and his wife Sissy Spacek kept production afloat. The film was shot on several locations owned by the AFI in California, including Greystone Mansion and a set of disused stables in which Lynch lived. Lynch and sound designer Alan Splet spent a year working on the film's audio after their studio was soundproofed. Eraserhead's soundtrack features organ music by Fats Waller and includes the song "In Heaven", penned for the film by Peter Ivers.

Definito dal regista (cui costò 4 anni di lavoro e poche migliaia di dollari) "un sogno di cose oscure e inquietanti". Un incubo popolato di incubi: il giovane Henry dai capelli ritti a presbitero; l'epilettica Mary che partorisce un mostriciattolo con la testa di un coniglio scuoiato; un teatrino tra gli elementi di un radiatore; la testa di Henry che si stacca dal corpo ed è portata in una fabbrica per farne gommini per cancellare; la testa del neonato che galleggia nell'aria. In bilico tra espressionismo e surrealismo, è un microcosmo formale autonomo sotto il segno della sterilità e della corruzione che evita simbolismi, allegorie, interpretazioni psicoanalitiche e ispira una sorta di angoscia metafisica e di paura ripugnante. Il linguaggio è classico, ma Lynch ne fa un uso aberrante n...

Behind the iron curtain secret doors
lie broken and twisted ideals that litter from my floor.
It's not that i don't hear you shouting in my head
it's just a noise that deadens me
compounding my indifference.
I need you now like I need a hole in my head
i'd give you my simpathy
but the space behind these black eyes is dead.
It's not that i don't hear you screaming in my face
it's just a noise that deadens me
compounding my indifference.
Lay your head down, lay your beautiful head down.
Can the worm turn inside me like a wheel
and shut the door of my sensivity to the way you feel?
I hate your country
I hate this new religion
I hate your politics
I hate your like of kindness
I hate what you've become
and so it seems that green has become the new red
void of human empathy
My head tilts in mock fascination.
As I pull the legs off this poor squirming creature
But I will grow and take my filth into an unsuspecting world.
You can't tell me what to do, the school's no longer in control
The parents twitch like a wrimp wristed puppets
You and your liberal ideas - what fools -
