Eraserhead Movie Wiki

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.
Initially opening to small audiences and little interest, Eraserhead gained popularity over several long runs as a midnight movie. Since its release, the film has earned positive reviews. The surrealist imagery and sexual undercurrents have been seen as key thematic elements, and the intricate sound design as its technical highlight. Thematic analysis of the film has also highlighted these issues and has elaborated on Spencer's fatalism and inactivity. In 2004, the film was preserved in the National Film Registry, maintained by the United States Library of Congress; it was also one of the subjects of the 2005 documentary Midnight Movies: From the Margin to the Mainstream.Eraserhead Movie Wiki
