February 26, 2019 marks the first anniversary of Twin Peaks Blog! Writing for this blog during the past year has sparked more than joy – it’s been electrifying! Thank you for reading about my discoveries from David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange world of Twin Peaks. I’m grateful for the friendships made along…
Fresh from celebrating Twin Peaks Day 2019 on February 24, I explored the Palmer House in the latest Vacant Peaks article. Similar to other frequently used sets in the series such as the Red Room or The Great Northern Hotel, this will be a multi-part story with images of the home’s interior and exterior without…
To celebrate Twin Peaks Day 2019, here is a Love Letter to all the photos of Laura Palmer from Twin Peaks. From the Homecoming Queen images (there are multiple versions) to stunning black and white portraits, these photographs of Sheryl Lee have become pop culture icons and are intertwined with a place both wonderful and strange….
This Setting the Stage article examines the exterior locations of Lucky 7 Insurance in Las Vegas, Nevada. With it’s bronze statue of a Western-dressed man pointing a pistol, this location appears in six episodes of Twin Peaks: The Return on Showtime beginning with Part 5.
In Twin Peaks Part 4 on Showtime, Dougie Jones gets a complementary limousine ride home from the Silver Mustang Casino after hitting 30 Mega-Jackpots and winning $425,000. This brief driving scene was actually shot in the same neighborhood where Dougie Jones’ home was located in Southern California. The scene is similar to other driving scenes…
Dougie Jones lives with his wife Janey-E and son Sonny Jim in a house with a red door at 25140 Lancelot Court near Las Vegas, Nevada. In reality, this Twin Peaks film location is found in Stevenson Ranch, California, close to where the scene of Ray Monroe driving Mr. C in Twin Peaks Part 8 on Showtime…
The Red Room in Twin Peaks has fascinated since I first watched the series in October 1993. Before viewing Episode 1002 (as well as the international version of the Pilot Episode), I had never seen anything like it before on television. For this love letter, I’ve selected nine favorite images from the three-part Vacant Peaks…
The three-part Vacant Peaks series featuring The Red Room wraps up with a look at Parts 3, 13, 16, 17 and 18 from Twin Peaks: The Return on Showtime. I love that the third season had so many scenes in this location. It appears some footage was recycled multiple times the series’ run.
In Twin Peaks Part 3 on Showtime, the American Girl (played by Phoebe Augustine, who also played Ronette Pulaski) is seen checking her wristwatch. I am fascinated by timepieces (I’m currently sporting a Hamilton watch that is a replica of one worn by Matthew McConaughey’s character Cooper in Christopher Nolan’s Insterstellar). So I was determined…
In a recent Vacant Peaks article, I explored The Red Room from Season 2 and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. While the series only visited this location a handful of times in seasons 1 and 2, things were much different in season 3 on Showtime. In addition to being featured in the opening credits for each…
