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.
As a great admirer of Twin Peaks’ rich set decoration, I have a special fondness for the promotional photos in which the cast is posed on set. These shots sometimes uncover background details that aren’t visible in the show itself.
In Twin Peaks’ third season, Sonny Jim Jones has an affinity for the wild west. From the wallpaper to the curtains to the toys beside his bed, desert plains make up the aesthetic of his bedroom. As the 2017 Showtime revival tended to be a bit more sparsely decorated than the original series, I loved…
Portland is a city that loves Twin Peaks. In 2025 alone, the World Forestry Center hosted an exhibit featuring the Log Lady’s screen-used log, the Oregon Symphony performed Angelo Badalamenti’s iconic score, and the Portland Street Art Alliances Community Art Program unveiled a stunning mural in honor of David Lynch. But there is a hidden…
Here at Twin Peaks Blog, we’ve learned the value of patience while attempting to identify the props we see onscreen. Sometimes a brand name is visible and a quick Google search is all it takes, but when a description like “vintage floral bowl” is all we have to work with, we know that we’re in…

When one sets out to collect Twin Peaks memorabilia, the logical place to start is Wrapped In Plastic magazine. This definitive fan publication dutifully covered Twin Peaks and adjacent media from 1992 to 2005. Throughout their 75 issue run, editors John Thorne and Craig Miller arranged several contests where readers could write in to win…
Margaret Lanterman, better known as the Log Lady, is the embodiment of what makes Twin Peaks special. In a complex story that sometimes defies real world logic, Margaret shows us that openness is key to understanding, and a healthy fear of fire goes a long way. In the show, Margaret loses her husband in a…
In the wake of David Lynch’s passing, events have popped up all over the world to celebrate this singular artist’s life and legacy. Perhaps none have been more thorough than the Music Box Theatre’s “David Lynch: Moving Through Time” series in Chicago, Illinois.
Loss and legacy were on everyone’s mind on Mar. 15, 2025, as Catherine Coulson’s fans, friends, and family attended a screening of “I Know Catherine, The Log Lady” at the recently restored Ojai Playhouse in Ojai, California. Several of the late, great Log Lady’s collaborators participated in a Q&A session after the film, including Ojai…
