While preparing for the scene where Frank Booth is shot in the face, David (Lynch) wanted to know what the trajectory of brain splatter would look like. So we were asked to simulate this. We had to order a human skull from India, because they are not for sale in the US. The skull was filled with sheep brains and then this was taken to the studio back lot where a gun was fired at it. David was then able to see the distance and pattern of the brain splatter, which was "copied" for the scene of Frank's brains spread across the carpet in Dorothy's apartment......A fellow art department friend recalls it was a female skull. The art department couldn't imagine it [was a real one] either, but it happened. There are so many unique stories about the making of this film that when I'm sharing them with people their mouths are usually open with shock and surprise. I don't recall David being bothered that it was a real skull. He was more interested in the splatter experiment. (source)
