It’s time to explore Dr. Lawrence Jacoby’s office like Donna Hayward and James Hurley in Twin Peaks Episode 1007. This Vacant Peaks article shows empty sets, props and details without people. His set appeared in Episodes 1001, 1005, 1006 and 1007 as well as The Missing Pieces from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Cue the Hawaiian music.
[Cue “Deer Meadow Shuffle”] I’ve previously shared how much I love for the first 30 minutes of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. There is something mesmerizing about the interactions between FBI Agents Chester Desmond and Sam Stanley. Shortly after Gordon Cole introduces them, the Agents head toward Deer Meadow, Washington to examine the body of…
As the Twin Peaks Fan Festival returns to the North Bend and Snoqualmie area in Washington State, I’m reminiscing about my first (and only) visit in August 1996. Attending the fan fest with my buddy Joe, we visited many of the iconic film locations including Salish Lodge and Snoqualmie Falls. Here are several photos from…
This story started out as something completely different. Originally, I wanted to identify the framed photograph displayed on the wall near Agent Albert Rosenfield’s desk at the FBI Office in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. I must have been channeling Agent Sam Stanley as I ended up identifying several props used in this scene.
For years, I longed to see the deleted scenes in my favorite David Lynch film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Before The Missing Pieces was released in 2014, the closest I got to “seeing” these scenes was a script-to-screen comparison on Dugpa.com. One of those scenes included Special Agent Phillip Jeffries checking into The…
For this Vacant Peaks article, I’m taking a look at the FBI Office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as seen in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. This scene, which marked the return of the long lost Phillip Jeffries, had a few glimpses without people. The “field office” was shot at the now demolished Cabrini Hospital once located…
In Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, there are two scenes that take place at the FBI field office located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Monochromatic flashbacks from this location also appear in Parts 14 and 15 of Twin Peaks: The Return on Showtime. In reality, these scenes were captured at a now demolished building in downtown Seattle,…
In Twin Peaks Part 14 on Showtime, Deputy Andy Brennan is transported to the Fireman’s House. He is shown a series of images projected above him on a white dome. While researching this set for a Vacant Peaks article, I became fascinated with the superimposed images of Special Agent Dale Cooper and Mr. C in…
Late in Twin Peaks Part 3 on Showtime, there is a short six-second establishing shot of the William Penn statue on top of City Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Similar to other establishing shots from Season 3 (such as Diane Evans’ apartment exterior or Yankton Federal Prison), this shot was footage captured by someone else.
I recently identified the film location for the Fireman’s house in Twin Peaks on Showtime. This set was seen in Parts 1, 8, 14, and 17 of Season 3. Interiors were shot at the Tower Theatre in Los Angeles, California, and the house exterior were created by the visual effects team BUF. While researching these…
