What a year! As the last seconds of this unprecedented and surreal year tick away, I’m reflecting on the highlights for TwinPeaksBlog.com in 2020. This year marked the 30th Anniversary of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s masterpiece, and despite the challenges we all faced, there were damn fine moments that kept me connected with fellow…
Russ Tamblyn who played Dr. Lawrence Jacoby and his alter-ego Dr. Amp in Twin Peaks celebrates his birthday on December 30. To celebrate another year of having his wonderful soul on Earth, I’m reflecting on my first meeting with him at 1996 Twin Peaks Fan Festival in Snoqualmie Valley, Washington.
In honor of Harry Goaz’s birthday on December 27, I’m examining Deputy Andy Brennan’s outfits from Season 1 of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks. This Costuming Peaks article covers the Pilot Episode through Episode 1007.
One of the first articles I wrote for TwinPeaksBlog.com traced the route Agent Cooper drives when entering the town of Twin Peaks. I clearly have an affinity for identifying these driving scenes seen throughout all three seasons of my favorite show. This time, I’m examining the route Mr. C drives during Twin Peaks – Part 3…
In Episode 2021, Agent Cooper hypothesizes that “if the door to the Black Lodge does exist, it probably exists at a point in time.” Symbols from the Owl Cave petroglyph and a pocket book on planets lead him to conclude that the gateway opens when Jupiter and Saturn meet. This is known in astronomy as the “Great…
I feel like I’ve been waiting my entire life to write this article. Today, the planets Jupiter and Saturn will be conjunct in the night sky. Long time Twin Peaks fans have been mimicking Windom Earle signing about this conjunction since Episode 2020 (#27) first aired on April 18, 1991. It is by far one of…
I love a good challenge, especially when it comes to identifying props. I received a note via the “Contact Us” section from a fellow Bookhouse Boy named Robert. He asked about the tape recorder that Pete Martell uses in Episode 2008 when taunting Ben Horne who is locked away in the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department…
It’s an exciting day at TwinPeaksBlog.com as another Bookhouse Boy is joining our writing staff. I met Jason McMahan virtually through our shared interest in identifying props used in David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show. Considering we’re both long-time fans of Twin Peaks, I was delighted to hear of his interest in…
I loved seeing the legendary Don Murray play Bushnell Mullins, Dougie Jones’ boss at Lucky 7 Insurance, in Season 3 of Twin Peaks. Thanks to a giant framed poster behind Mullins’ desk at Lucky 7, we get some insight into his character. Now that some time has passed since Season 3 ended (and those Non-Disclosure Agreements…
One aspect of Twin Peaks that I’ve greatly enjoyed over the years of being a fan is how well mystery is mixed with some comedic relief. A true joy was seeing David Lander, famously known for playing Squiggy on Laverne & Shirley, return to the ABC Television network in Season 2 of David Lynch and…
