Following a successful first season of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks, reporters from around the world went in search of the Real Twin Peaks, the towns of Snoqualmie Valley, Washington featured in the show. I love finding these reports from the early days as they capture forgotten details that shaped the region. Jane Stevenson,…
Today, is an exciting day as the staff at TwinPeaksBlog.com has grown by one. Please welcome fellow Bookhouse Boy (and talented musician) Vinnie Guidera. By chance, we met in person during my trip to Snoqualmie Valley in September 2019. I quickly learned we share a passion for props and places from David Lynch and Mark…
Norma Jennings, played by the late Peggy Lipton, looked radiant in every episode of Twin Peaks. Today, I’m turning the costume spotlight on the queen of the Double R Diner by taking a closer look at her costumes from the pilot episode through episode 1.007 from season 1.
As frequent Twin Peaks Blog readers have surely surmised, my approach toward identifying props and set decorations is to leave no stone unturned. I may never run out of things to write about, because the Hurley house has A LOT of stones.
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.
In September 1990, television viewers in homes across the United States could not wait for the return of Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. In anticipation of the first episode of the second season to air on September 30, syndicated columnist Jay Bobbin wrote a story with quotes from series co-creator Mark Frost and…
During the first two seasons of Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, one of the most enigmatic characters is never seen on screen. Special Agent Dale Cooper sends micro-cassettes to the mysterious Diane back at the F.B.I. Headquarters. Magically, she delivers ear plugs overnight when the Icelanders invade The Great Northern Hotel and offers unseen…
The historic North Bend Theatre in downtown North Bend, Washington celebrated the 34th Anniversary of the North American premiere of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me from August 13-16, 2026. This “We Live Inside a Dream” weekend including film screenings of David Lynch’s movies along with the world premiere of Scott Ryan’s documentary, “The…
On August 21 and 22, 2026, the Mahoning Drive-In Theater in Lehighton, PA held their fourth “Wild World of David Lynch” celebration. What started as a biennial event blossomed into a yearly staple lovingly curated by longtime Lynch fan Faye Dorsey.
Long before the conveniences of on-line shopping and auction websites, Twin Peaks fans of the early 1990s turned to Michigan-based Bruce Phillips to find wonderful and strange collectibles from David Lynch and Mark Frost’s groundbreaking series and feature film. I remember spending countless hours wishing to own everything listed in Bruce’s printed paper catalogs. As…
The “We Live Inside a Dream” event took place from August 13-16, 2026 at the North Bend Theatre in North Bend, Washington. The weekend’s festivities commemorated the 34th Anniversary of the North American premiere of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me which was held at the independent, one-screen theatre on August 16, 1992….
As I decompress from a fantastic trip to Snoqualmie Valley, I return to the publicity photos from Spelling Films International for David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. This time, it’s two similar photos showing Laura Palmer standing at the doorway to her bedroom, including one shot we don’t see in the theatrical release.
Special Agent Dale Cooper is known for sending messages to Diane via his handheld tape recorder. Fellow Twin Peaks Blog author and Bookhouse Boy Vinnie Guidera discussed at length the various recorders seen in the show. There is another Special Agent, however, that also uses a tape recorder during his investigation – Special Agent Sam…
One reason I enjoy collecting Snoqualmie Falls postcards is that I get to play detective. Many cards in my collection are more than 100 years old. Each one becomes a mystery to solve. Some postcards are easily identifiable while others take some deductive reasoning to determine their origin. Take another postcard published by C.P. Johnston…
For years, I’ve scoured online auctions looking for unique ephemera from my favorite David Lynch film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. It’s a great day when I find gold such as this German film program from Austrian editor Rudolf J. Maly released in August 1992 for Twin Peaks: Der Film (or “Twin Peaks: The Film”). This prequel…
