Like many Twin Peaks fans, I was saddened to hear of Piper Laurie’s passing at age 91 on October 14, 2023. Her Emmy-nominated performance as Catherine Martell in the show’s first two seasons was exceptional (her exchange with Sheriff Truman about her time on Pearl Lakes is my favorite scene). Originally named Rosetta Jacobs until the…
Fans of Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks are some of the most dedicated and passion individuals in the world. From the earliest days of the series, they rallied to save the show and would later be instrumental in the release of deleted scenes from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. It’s no surprise then that…
Doubling is a common theme that runs throughout Twin Peaks. There are “two Chalfont trailers” at the Fat Trout Trailer Park, Laura Palmer’s cousin, Madeline Ferguson, looks almost exactly like her. The same thought can be applied to Laura Palmer’s bedroom – there are two versions with one being a set for the 1992 feature film…
After responding to a post on the Facebook group Lynchland Gang about Special Agent Sam Stanley’s “Whiteman Machine,” I decided to take a closer look at Teresa Banks’ autopsy scene in tiny Deer Meadow Sheriff’s Department morgue. This scene from David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me seems to have a few Missing Pieces…
Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington served as the exterior location for the Martell family’s Blue Pine Lodge in the first two seasons of Twin Peaks. While researching the Thunderbird totem pole that briefly appears in the series, I discovered the artist behind the tall “story pole” used as an establishing shot in episode 2.014 from…
In a fictional world as rich and mystifying as Twin Peaks, it’s easy to take the practical details for granted. While some featured props and decorations had to be both memorable and believable, others simply had to be present because their absence would be distracting. I recently acquired a small collection of screen-used odds and…
I keep returning to the Fat Trout Trailer Park as seen in David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The film’s first 35 minutes has mesmerized me for decades now. While I have previously discussed the entire Fat Trout Trailer Park location, this time I’m diving deeper into individual shots from this location….
For several years now, I have loved playing the game of finding and identifying Twin Peaks locations. Between the thrill of the hunt to researching a location’s history, there is no greater joy than finding a photo that confirms my suspicions about a location. Today, I’m happy to report I am crossing off another location…
Today, I’m continue my quest to identify props used in Laura Palmer’s bedroom from David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. A few years ago, I found the floral still life above Laura’s dresser where she hid her secret diary. Now I have identified the frame floral print located at her bedside.
One thing I love finding during my exhaustive research into Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is when real world items cross into David Lynch’s fictional world. A great example of this is the heart-shaped wreath found on the front door of the Palmer’s house.
