Not every prop used in Twin Peaks steals the scene, but each one has a story. When I acquired a small collection of production-used items from prop master Jeff Moore a few years ago, some of them were a mystery even to him. This innocuous little envelope was one of those mysteries.
When Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me arrived on home video on January 6, 1993, New Line Cinema provided video stores with advertising materials designed to appeal to fans of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show and hopefully drive sales or rentals. One such item was a cardboard sign with the “Welcome to Twin…
Reruns of Twin Peaks on Bravo TV was my gateway to David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show. In advance of the series starting on their “Too Good for TV” block on June 11, 1993, a colorful, multi-panel flyer was produced providing a summary of the show along with broadcast dates and times.
Throughout the years I’ve been researching David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks, I found several references to a review in the September 1989 Connoisseur magazine.

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…

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…

In episode 2.011 of Twin Peaks, Lana Budding and Dougie Milford tie the knot during a small ceremony held at The Great Northern Hotel. The newlyweds then held a reception complete with dancing and cake. When filming took place in late October 1990, Unit Publicist Paula K. Shimatsu-u was on hand to capture some shots of…
