Fright Rags, the leader in officially licensed horror apparel and accessories, is re-releasing popular designs inspired by Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks in honor of the show’s 35th anniversary on April 8, 2025. Featuring designs first released in 2020 and 2021, these items are currently available for pre-order and will be shipping the week of May 2. Here’s a round up of must-have things you don’t want to miss.
BRIEF HISTORY OF FRIGHT RAGS
Ben Scrivens founded Fright-Rags more than 22 years ago in Rochester, New York. A horror fan since first seeing John Carpenter’s Halloween at the age of four, Ben discovered companies producing quality, horror-related apparel didn’t exist in the early 2000s.
Being a graphic designer by trade, he began posting designs on a horror forum run by Justin Marby. The response was overwhelmingly positive, which lead him to producing his first run of shirts for about $600. The first order arrived on September 2, 2003, and the rest is history. Ben said his company is focused “on making the most kick-ass t-shirts, and backing them with the best possible service.”
TWIN PEAKS COLLECTION BY FRIGHT RAGS
On Tuesday, April 8, 2025 at 12:00 Noon, Fright Rags launched their Twin Peaks collection of apparel and accessories. The main page of their website contained a banner image of three t-shirts along with four t-shirts under the “New Products” header.
Clicking on the main page banner, redirected to the main product page for all Twin Peaks items. There three re-released designs, a pair of Black Lodge-themed socks, the “Twin Peaks Day 2025” Agent Cooper t-shirt and two print-on-demand tees.
WELCOME TO TWIN PEAKS
Artist Joe Guy Allard designed the “Welcome to Twin Peaks” t-shirt which was inspired by the iconic sign listing the town’s population of 51,201.
The shirt was originally released in 2021 and is available either printed on super soft 4.5oz 100% pre-shrunk ringspun cotton shirts. A Comfort Colors option is new this year. The shirt is printed on Heavyweight 6.1oz 100% ringspun cotton shirts with a relaxed fit, seamless body and the garment dyed with a vintage, lived in feel.
Here is how the shirt looks on male models from the Fright Rags website.
TWIN PEAKS – SECRETS ARE DANGEROUS THINGS
The Twin Peaks – Secrets Are Dangerous Things artwork was created by Kyle Crawford (Instagram: @kyleisez) and was first released in 2020 as part of the original Fright Rags officially licensed Twin Peaks collection.
Similar to the “Welcome to Twin Peaks” shirts, one “Secrets” shirt is printed on super soft 4.5oz 100% pre-shrunk ringspun cotton shirts. Fright Rags is also offering a Comfort Colors option this year for this design.
DOUBLE R DINER
I adore the Double R Diner t-shirt designed by Kyle Crawford (Instagram: @kyleisez). This artwork was first released in 2021 and it’s a perfect nod to the small town diner where pies go when they die.
In fact, I’ve worn the shirt at Twede’s Cafe located in North Bend, Washington while enjoying pie and coffee. This restaurant is where the Double R Diner was filmed during the pilot, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and Twin Peaks: The Return.
The officially licensed shirt is printed on super soft 4.5oz 100% pre-shrunk ringspun cotton shirts.
BLACK LODGE SOCKS
The Black Lodge Socks contain the familiar black and white chevron floor pattern with red accents. Designed by Joe Guy Allard. Custom knit crew socks containing 38% Cotton, 60% Nylon, and 2% Lycra. One size fits most.
TWIN PEAKS COLLECTION BY FRIGHT RAGS ADVERTISING
On March 31, 2025, Fright Rags posted the Double R Diner artwork on their Instagram account. They asked for the “most-quoted Twin Peaks line” in the comments and then announced they were “bringing back a handful of Officially Licensed TWIN PEAKS designs”
The next day, they teased several new collections including Twin Peaks via there Instagram account.
On Tuesday, Apr. 3, they shared an image collage of the three re-released t-shirts and the Black Lodge socks.
A similar image collage was used for the Apr. 7 post which encouraged followers to check out their website on April 8 to order the re-released items.
“The TWIN PEAKS drop hits tomorrow—Tuesday, April 8 at 12pm ET sharp. Three iconic shirts. One haunting pair of BLACK LODGE SOCKS. All officially licensed.”
Once the items were live, Fright Rags posted another image collage with the t-shirts and socks in a different placement.
Those on a distribution list for Fright Rags, received an email advertising the officially licensed reprints.
I’m happy to know that retails continue seeing Twin Peaks as a viable property that generates business. If they release it, it seems like I will buy it all.
