In the first Setting the Stage article, I visited the Blue Pine Lodge, home to the Packard family. That article focused on the exterior shots of the lodge from Twin Peaks. This time, I’m focusing on the giant log located on the shore also known as Laura Palmer’s Log.
Miriam! Hey, I just want to talk to you … about how I found the location where your scene was shot in Twin Peaks Part 10 on Showtime. In this episode, Richard Horne pays a visit to school teacher Miriam Sullivan’s trailer. I found the film location by accident while working on article about the…
What a year! As the last seconds of this unprecedented and surreal year tick away, I’m reflecting on the highlights for TwinPeaksBlog.com in 2020. This year marked the 30th Anniversary of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s masterpiece, and despite the challenges we all faced, there were damn fine moments that kept me connected with fellow…
For more than a year on eBay, I would periodically see ‘TV Zone’ magazine with Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) and Sheriff Harry Truman (Michael Ontkean) on the front cover. I finally found a reasonably priced copy of this June 1991 issue of the now defunct monthly British magazine of cult television.
As summer descends in the Northern Hemisphere, here is a round up of Twin Peaks and David Lynch-themed events taking place around the world from June to August 2026.
I’ve been on a kick lately identifying several iconic set decorations from Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. I love finding these background art pieces after seeing them during multiple rewatches for more than three decades. Today, I’m returning to the Hayward house where a beautiful illustration of roses by Pierre-Josephe Redouté created in 1821.
Despite my intense love of David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, I’ve come to realize that there were many who didn’t enjoy it when the film was released in 1992. While only a handful of critics offered praise, many panned the prequel to the groundbreaking television series. It doesn’t mean these critics…
Twin Peaks fans are a lucky bunch. Whether printed in magazines, compiled in oral histories, or presented on stage at fan conventions, just about every cast member has shared unique memories of life on the set. But as much as I love to hear from the actors, what I long for are stories from the…
In 1990, a series of photo slides featuring characters from Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks were released as publicity for the show. One slide shows James Marshall with the other half of Laura Palmer’s necklace. It’s a cropped, portrait-like image compared to the original photo captured by long-time ABC Television photographer Craig Sjodin.
While school may be out for the summer, Twin Peaks High School takes center stage with a new officially licensed collection of apparel and accessories from Paramount Shop. From t-shirts to a backpack, you’ll find something to show off your Steeplejack spirit.
Growing up in the 1980s, I vividly recall anti-drunk driving campaigns led by Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (M.A.D.D.) and Students Against Drunk Drivers (S.A.D.D.). Drunk driving and alcohol-related traffic accidents had become an epidemic which needlessly took the lives of so many young people. To combat this issue, Reader’s Digest magazine launched a nationwide contest…
It’s been more than 16 months since David Lynch transcended to another plane and frankly, I’m still not over his passing. I guess that’s why a new t-shirt from Austin, Texas-based Feels So Good caught my eye. This Comfort Colors tee summarizes how I’m feeling with each passing day – I miss David Lynch. I…
As part of my extensive research into Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, I maintain multiple open investigations into the details about my beloved television show. I may start a research project only to return to it years later. I’ve discovered that if I wait, sometimes the stars turn and the mystery is revealed. This…
For more than three decades, I’ve wondered about the “RASW” decal affixed to the front door of the Double R Diner best seen in the Twin Peaks pilot. I figured the sticker on the glass door was something found at the actual Mar-T Cafe (known today as Twede’s Cafe). It was something added by the crew…
On June 10, 1991, the ABC Television Network aired the final two episodes of Mark Frost and David Lynch’s groundbreaking series, Twin Peaks. Episode 2.021 (#28) and 2.022 (#29) were shown back-to-back during an ABC Monday Night Movie event. There were plenty of commentary from reporters about the ending of the series that once took viewers…
