[Cue “Deer Meadow Shuffle”] I’ve previously shared how much I love for the first 30 minutes of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. There is something mesmerizing about the interactions between FBI Agents Chester Desmond and Sam Stanley. Shortly after Gordon Cole introduces them, the Agents head toward Deer Meadow, Washington to examine the body of…
In Twin Peaks Part 18 on Showtime, Dale Cooper and Diane Evans drive 430 miles to a spot in the desert. I found the location on the morning of September 4, 2017, the day after Part 18 first aired. This location was easy to find thanks to a previously identified film location. More on that in…
One of my favorite things to find are props that were carried over from the Pilot Episode to the regular season of Twin Peaks. Thanks to the help of fellow Bookhouse Boy Jason McMahan, I recently picked up a replica of the Con-way Central Express (CCX) Miles Ahead mug that is seen both in the Pilot…
The former Brook Theater in Snoqualmie, Washington served as the film location for Mo’s Motor in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. This now demolished film location holds a special place in my heart thanks to the 1996 Twin Peaks Fan Festival and Craig Miller and John Thorne’s excellent Twin Peaks magazine, “Wrapped in Plastic.”
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 September 2026.
I am still fascinated that several of my Snoqualmie Falls postcards are more than 120 years old (granted, I also think 20 years ago is the 1970s). A sacred site to the Snoqualmie Tribe, this 268-foot waterfall in the town of Snoqualmie is the second most visited natural landmark in Washington state behind Mount Rainier….
An auction lot of Twin Peaks publicity photos contained a unique artifact from obsolete technology – an Associated Press (AP) Laserphoto of Special Agent Dale Cooper and Sheriff Harry S. Truman. This photo was shared via the AP news wire service on August 2, 1990 after it was announced that David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful…
From August 15-17, 2025, the North Bend Theatre in North Bend, Washington held a weekend of activities to celebrate the 33rd Anniversary of U.S. premiere of David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The film made its North American debut at the small town theatre on August 16, 1992. The first of these…
Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: The Return was such an incredible gift. Not only did we get to return to the wonderful and strange town they cerated but we were introduced to many new characters portrayed by outstanding actors. One such individual was Owain Rhys Davis who played F.B.I. Agent Wilson in Parts 14, 15…
In the Twin Peaks pilot, several scenes at The Great Northern Hotel were filmed at Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington. I have previously examined locations such as the fireplace, the Concierge desk, and the moment when Sheriff Truman informs Leland Palmer about his daughter Laura. Today, I’m examining the breakfast meeting with the Norwegians in The Great…
It’s time for another beautiful postcard featuring Snoqualmie Falls and Snoqualmie Falls Lodge in Snoqualmie, Washington. Smith-Western Co., Inc. produced this card containing an aerial photo of the magnificent 268-foot waterfall and surrounding area. I love seeing these images as I get to play the game, “When was this photograph taken.?”
My look at Twin Peaks publicity photos from 1990 continues with a black and white portrait of Dana Ashbrook as Bobby Briggs. This 8-inch by 10-inch photo was part of a series of character photos released by Capital Cities / ABC Television to introduce viewers to the many characters from David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful…
In Part 4 of Twin Peaks: The Return, Dougie Jones has a moment of self-reflection in his bathroom mirror following a great release. For years, I’ve wondered what framed floral image was hanging on the bathroom wall as Dougie approached the mirror. It didn’t take long for me to locate the original artwork first created in…
I acquired at auction a lot of 1990s publicity photos from California’s The Modesto Bee newspaper. The coolest part about these photo is that I have located the original newspapers when the images were published. This photo of Sherilyn Fenn as Audrey Horne on the set of the Double R Diner was run on Thursday,…
