In Twin Peaks Part 18 on Showtime, Richard/Cooper searches for a missing waitress named Carrie Page that worked at Eat at Judy’s in Odessa, Texas.

I still vividly recall Mr. C’s first appearance in Season 3 on Showtime. Kyle MacLachlan’s appearance in Part 1 at Buella’s Place was frightening, yet left me wanting more. Like that otherworldly scene with Otis, Buella and the gang, the Southern California location where they shot this scene is also shrouded in mystery.

If there is one scene in all of Twin Peaks I love the most, it’s “Smash Up” from The Missing Pieces of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. This unscripted scene has Norma Jennings (Peggy Lipton) and Big Ed Hurley (Everett McGill) sharing a tender moment in Ed’s truck near the woods. There was a…

David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me had its world premiere on May 16, 1992 at the Cannes Film Festival.

Twin Peaks crew member turned actor Frank Silva was interviewed by Nik Garifalakis from Australia’s Sunday Herald Sun on May 19, 1991.

One of my favorite postcards in my collection features an aerial view of the town of North Bend, Washington with Mount Si looming in the distance and the words “Twin Peaks” printed along the bottom front.
