I love a good challenge when it comes to finding Twin Peaks film locations. A few years ago, long time fan Travis Black challenged me to find The Zone from Part 11 of Twin Peaks: The Return. Nearly eight hours later, I had found it (as documented here). This time, I woke on a foggy Monday morning…
In this installment of “Reviewing Peaks,” I revisit the end of the show’s second season with a review by William Grimes with the New York Times. A few months earlier, an aggressive letter writing campaign by fans brought Twin Peaks back to ABC Television following a brief five-week hiatus. But the honeymoon didn’t last long…
When Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me arrived on home video on January 6, 1993, New Line Cinema provided video stores with advertising materials designed to appeal to fans of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show and hopefully drive sales or rentals. One such item was a cardboard sign with the “Welcome to Twin…
As a Twin Peaks fan of more than three decades, I love finding things I’ve never seen. For example, I acquired this autographed card from Ebay which features Russ Tamblyn as Dr. Lawrence Jacoby in David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show. It’s a great example of early ephemera from a time before…
I continue my quest to document the many postcards from the Real Twin Peaks of Snoqualmie Valley, Washington. This time, I found a postcard of Snoqualmie Falls from 1906 by James Bert Barton (also known as J.B. Barton). Despite exhaustive research, I found little information about this Seattle-based photographer from the early 1900s.
Sheryl Lee’s gave an astounding performance in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. With each viewing, I am increasingly impressed with her abilities as an actress to convey such raw emotion as Laura Palmer. It’s no surprise then this stunning publicity photo created for the film captures Laura’s spirit and strength as she…
Books are some of my favorite things to identify in Twin Peaks as they are a bridge between the real world and the fictional wonderful and strange world. In Part 6 of Twin Peaks: The Return, Sonny Jim Jones is seen reading a book in bed when his dad Dougie Jones returns home from Lucky 7…
I love finding ephemera from the Japanese market about Twin Peaks. David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show was a mega-hit in the country. The design and packaging of everything from Japan always exceeds my expectations. I recently acquired a bookmark-like flyer about the release of the show’s first season on DVD on October…
Work pulled me away from the wonderful and strange Twin Peaks these past few weeks. I’m thrilled to return to town with a new discovery from my favorite David Lynch film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Thanks to fellow Bookhouse Boy Matthew Haywood, we now know which Washington artist created a print hanging in the Deer…
In anticipation of the second season premiere of Twin Peaks in September 1990, Kitsap Sun reporter Julie McCormick published two stories about locations from the Real Twin Peaks of Washington state on September 27, 1990. The first story features a visit to the former Mar-T Cafe in North Bend known today as Twede’s Cafe. This small town…
