Frank’s voice is probably still pretty spooky after all these years.

For real, the scene when Donnie is in the theatre (skipping Sparkle Motion) and Frank takes off the mask, then shows Donnie the portal, and then instructs him to “burn it to the ground” is so chilling. Just an absolute elite scene in an elite movie, then we get Donnie in the living room tossing gas. Pretty incredible filmmaking.
