Elmes tells IndieWire about "haunting dark corners" with the late filmmaker on "Eraserhead" and the great feedback Lynch gave him at the "Blue Velvet" DGA premiere.

David Lynch, the legendary director of "Twin Peaks" and "Mulholland Drive," is dead at 78, his family announced Jan. 16 on Facebook.

Lynch spent time in Wilmington in the mid 1980s, when the director made one of his best-known and most notorious films.
