Killer BOB (or simply BOB) is a fictional character in the ABC television series Twin Peaks. He is a demonic entity who feeds on fear and pleasure. He possesses human beings and then commits acts of rape and murder in order to feast upon his victims.
Killer BOB made his first appearance in the pilot episode, "Northwest Passage", where he makes a brief cameo in a vision by Sarah Palmer. The character eventually grew into the series' primary antagonist in the second season. Frank Silva received the role of Killer BOB after a filming error by series creator David Lynch in the pilot. Lynch liked the scene with Silva in the pilot, and decided to make him into a recurring character.

“Developing the muscles of the soul demands no competitive spirit, no killer instinct, although it may erect pain barriers that the spiritual athlete must crash through.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“It was because of me. Rumors reached Inman that I had made a deal with Bob Dole whereby Dole would fill a paper sack full of doggie poo, set it on fire, put it on Inman’s porch, ring the doorbell, and then we would hide in the bushes and giggle when Inman came to stamp out the fire. I am not proud of this. But this is what we do in journalism.”
—Roger Simon, U.S. syndicated columnist. Quoted in Newsweek, p. 15 (January 31, 1990)
