The first character in Twin Peaks that speaks is Pete Martell (Jack Nance). After telling his wife Catherine that he’s going fishing, he exits the Blue Pine Lodge kitchen and walks along a path. The sound of a lonesome foghorn hangs in the air just before Pete spots something unusual. The rest is history. For this…
My heart has been heavy these past few days watching the aftermath of devastating fires in Southern California. There are many ways to help those in need, such as donating to organizations like the American Red Cross or chef José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen. Tonight, I learned Twin Peaks actor Carel Struycken and his wife…
For more than three decades, I’ve loved with connecting with fellow Twin Peaks fans from around the world. It’s incredible seeing how David Lynch and Mark Frost’s “wonderful and strange” show has inspired artists, authors, and musicians to create and share their works. Bands like Wisteria Lodge or F*ck You Tammy have captured the mystique of…
Lately, I’ve been sharing vintage postcards of Snoqualmie Falls from my extensive “Real Twin Peaks” collection from Snoqualmie Valley, Washington. In this age of digital communication and social media, modern day postcards are becoming more challenging to find. Yet, there are companies still producing them such as Hi-Way Distributing Corp. of Barberton, Ohio. As part…
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 recently acquired an incredible collection of publicity photos and slides from my favorite David Lynch film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. These images were released by Spelling Films International in 1992 for markets outside the United States. I previously highlighted a photo from a deleted scene at the Fat Trout Trailer Park. This robust…
One of the more memorable scenes from Twin Peaks takes places toward the end of the pilot. Deputies Hawk and Brennan escort James Hurley to the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Station holding cell area. After they leave, Mike Nelson and Bobby Briggs bark like dogs while James timidly stares back. While the barking exchange doesn’t appear in…
I’m happy to see RockLove released new officially licensed Twin Peaks products this summer. Several years ago, they produced a faithful reproduction of the iconic Owl Cave ring that appears throughout Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and Twin Peaks: The Return. Now, the woman-owned directed their creative energy toward other memorable symbols from the wonderful and strange show.
As a long time photographer, I love visiting Snoqualmie Valley as there are many spectacular places and things to see. I’ve shared a few of my images on Twin Peaks Blog in these articles about Winter in Twin Peaks and the Real Twin Peaks. Despite many years of taking pictures, I stand in awe of…
In June 2026, the Salish Lodge & Spa celebrated its 110th anniversary. Perched above the magnificent and sacred Snoqualmie Falls, the lodge opened in 1916 as Snoqualmie Falls Lodge. Since that time, millions of people have visited the 268-foot waterfall, so naturally there are plenty of postcards for people to remember their trips. This card…
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.
