What's always captivated me about this scene is how it plays around with darkness and light. Pierrot ascends into the night sky and for a while there's nothing wrong - he can't see anyone and they can't see him, so there's nothing to fear. He's the boogeyman, a myth, a floating shadow. It's only when he descends back to the street below, when he steps out of the darkness and into the light, that his terror is made manifest. It's no coincidence that when Spike emerges from the alley, the scene shifts to the side to show the two at the same time: one a sole point of light in the dark, the other a blot of darkness illuminated from above. Hell of a scene.
I never understood how Vincents fingers alone could stab spike like that it didn't show him having abnormally long or sharp nails just regular fingers so know I'm kinda confused on how ?
