The sounds and music of Twin Peaks were my gateway to David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show. One of the more unique souvenirs I picked up during my first visit to the town of North Bend in August 1996 was a cassette titled “Sounds of TWIN PEAKS.” In the early days of…
With the arrival of fall on the horizon, here is a round up of David Lynch and Twin Peaks-themed events taking place around the world from September to December 2026.
Festival of Disruption kicked off on May 19, 2018 at Brooklyn Steel. Following an exciting first day in Brooklyn, New York, I was excited to attend event curated by David Lynch. Festival proceeds helped the David Lynch Foundation teach at-risk youth, veterans, and women to meditate. I was most looking forward to meeting other Twin…
Though I’ve spent years studying Twin Peaks props and collecting replicas, the show’s wardrobe has largely remained in my blind spot. Thankfully A.M. Starr, author of the wonderfully insightful 1400 River Road blog, has a keen eye for wardrobe details and has identified several pieces I likely would’ve missed. In 2021, she identified and wrote…
With the arrival of fall on the horizon, here is a round up of David Lynch and Twin Peaks-themed events taking place around the world from September to December 2026.
I love finding artifacts from the earliest days of when Twin Peaks was first broadcast in the United States. Recently, I acquired at auction a rather well-preserved copy of The Philadelphia Inquirer’s “TV Week” from May 6-12, 1990. This television viewing guide featured a previously discussed publicity photo of Josie Packard (Joan Chen) and Sheriff Harry S….
During my early research into the production of Twin Peaks: The Return, I quickly learned the crew occasionally used stock video assets for various establishing shots. This is best seen with Diane Evans’ apartment exterior or the FBI Jet flying to Buckhorn. They also used stock photo to create things like the Rancho Rosa Estates…
It’s not often that physical locations seen in Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks go on the market. There have been a handful over the years, and each time I dream of owning them. The latest is the famed Bookhouse seen during the first two seasons of the groundbreaking television series. I’ve previously discussed the…
Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks originally aired at a time before access to the World Wide Web was commonplace. While I dabbled in bulletin boards via CompuServe in the late 1980s, I didn’t access the internet until spring 1995. The early 1990s, however, saw some technological marvels that formed a foundation of the social…
I am continuously amazed that some people had the forethought to save newspaper clippings from when Twin Peaks first aired on the ABC Television Network in 1990. I recently acquired a rather pristine copy of “TV Week” from October 21-27, 1990 included in Cleveland’s The Plain Dealer. The cover featured a stunning photo of Richard Beymer…
My quest to identify all the decorations displayed on the Double R Diner set continues with a framed patriotic image seen throughout the first two seasons of Twin Peaks. This vintage print contains a poem first published in 1902 and later became popular during World War I.
On Tuesday, June 18, 1968, 200 people attended the dedication of the then new Snoqualmie Falls Park in Snoqualmie, Washington. As part of a massive renovation, Puget Sound Power had created a covered observation platform overlooking the majestic and sacred Snoqualmie Falls and the roadside Snoqualmie Falls Lodge known for their dining room. At the…
Chill out this winter with these Twin Peaks and David Lynch-inspired events and screenings taking place around the world in January to March 2027.
I love finding rare gems that I’ve never seen in all the years of being a Twin Peaks fan. I particularly like production paperwork as it provides insight into what it took to create the wonderful and strange show I adore. One such thing is a Worldvision Enterprises, Inc. press kit for “Year Two” of Mark…
The Double R Diner set in the first two seasons of Twin Peaks is filled with wonderful set decorations that make it feel like an actual working diner. Some of the earliest articles on Twin Peaks Blog identified artwork hanging above the diner’s booths were action took place. I’m happy to identify another set decoration…
