The original airing of Twin Peaks in 1990 captured the attention of the world, television critics included.

Here’s a look back at…
In David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Laura Palmer and Donna Hayward travel north with Buck and Tommy to a backroom bar called The Power and The Glory.

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.
Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks changed network television when it first aired in 1990.

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.

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.

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…
