Norma Jennings, played by the late Peggy Lipton, looked radiant in every episode of Twin Peaks. Today, I’m turning the costume spotlight on the queen of the Double R Diner by taking a closer look at her costumes from the pilot episode through episode 1.007 from season 1.
Since launching Twin Peaks Blog in February 2018, I’ve enjoyed exploring the origins of Twin Peaks lore by providing well-researched and fact-based articles. In May 2021, Dugpa and I dug into the history of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me at the Cannes Film Festival, helping clarify long-held misconceptions about the film’s initial reception. Channeling that same…
I recently paid tribute to Lori Eschler Fystak as an unsung hero of the Twin Peaks soundtrack. Thanks to an unexpected advertisement I found while researching early news reports about the show, I’m turning the spotlight on David Boushey. He was the “Fall Guy” of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange world. As it turns…
In the early 1990s, Craig Tuttle’s photography of the Pacific Northwest was everywhere. From greeting cards to books to calendars, he captured the beauty of many places throughout Washington and Oregon.

One of the final official events for Real Twin Peaks 2024 was the Twin Tilts Pinball Tournament at Volition Brewing Co. in North Bend, Washington. This location served as Nadine Butler Hurley’s Run Silent, Run Drapes shop in Twin Peaks The Return before it was converted into an outstanding local brewery. The cool part about…
As frequent Twin Peaks Blog readers have surely surmised, my approach toward identifying props and set decorations is to leave no stone unturned. I may never run out of things to write about, because the Hurley house has A LOT of stones.
My collection of Snoqualmie Falls and Salish Lodge & Spa postcards continues growing. This pair of postcards contains photographs by Ben Harrison complete with awesome 1990s graphic designs bathed in purple.
On this 34th anniversary of Twin Peaks, I’m singing the praises of an unsung hero of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show – Music Editor Lori Eschler. I’ve long adored Angelo Badalamenti and Julee Cruise’s music as the soundtrack was my gateway the series. While researching a number of various things, I found…
