Twin Peaks fans are a lucky bunch. Whether printed in magazines, compiled in oral histories, or presented on stage at fan conventions, just about every cast member has shared unique memories of life on the set. But as much as I love to hear from the actors, what I long for are stories from the…
On Tuesday May 5, 2026, Twin Peaks co-creator Mark Frost celebrated the publication of his latest book The Yankee Sphinx: An FDR Novel with an insightful discussion moderated by fellow Peaks writer and longtime friend Harley Peyton. The two appeared at Elliott Bay Book Company in Seattle, WA.
A prop master’s work isn’t always flashy. Often, they are tasked with making pragmatic choices to flesh out a scene with items that the audience won’t even notice. These are some of the stories I’ve most enjoyed as I’ve gotten to know Twin Peaks prop master Jeff Moore, whose work in the second season both…
Before I found Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet was the film that pulled me into David Lynch’s world. From the moment the red roses and picket fences dissolved into squirming bugs beneath the dirt, I was hooked. These themes would be honed by Lynch and company a few years later in Twin Peaks, but Lynch’s original…

As the 2017 Showtime revival tended to be a bit more sparsely decorated than the original series, I loved…
Portland is a city that loves Twin Peaks. In 2025 alone, the World Forestry Center hosted an exhibit featuring the Log Lady’s screen-used log, the Oregon Symphony performed Angelo Badalamenti’s iconic score, and the Portland Street Art Alliances Community Art Program unveiled a stunning mural in honor of David Lynch. But there is a hidden…
Here at Twin Peaks Blog, we’ve learned the value of patience while attempting to identify the props we see onscreen. Sometimes a brand name is visible and a quick Google search is all it takes, but when a description like “vintage floral bowl” is all we have to work with, we know that we’re in…
Having been too young to appreciate the cultural phenomenon of Twin Peaks in the early 90s, I have a great fondness for the ephemera that made for an immersive experience during the show’s initial run. Collecting vintage print ads, tie-in products, and fan magazines paints a picture of what the community felt at the peak…
