It’s no surprise that I adore David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks. The Pilot episode aired as an ABC Sunday Night Movie on April 8, 1990. For this year’s milestone 30th Anniversary, I’m sharing 30 things I love about this perfect Pilot episode. It’s by far one of the best television pilots ever to…
Tuesday, February 21, 1989 is a special day in Twin Peaks history. It’s the first day of shooting for what would become the Pilot Episode of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s beloved series.

I recently shared a video of the Miss Twin Peaks contest from Episode 2.021 with the dark frames removed and the strobe effect minimized.

During my recent visit to Washington state in January, I discovered another small piece of Twin Peaks…
When writing for this Blog, there are times that I feel like Special Agent Sam Stanley who used his machine to crack the Whitman case. What a rush of endorphins he must have felt when he finally found those splinters. I’ve felt that same thrill several times while researching stories, from locating the stock footage…
By now, you should know I’m on a quest to document everything I can about my favorite David Lynch film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Since the Twin Peaks Blog launched in February 2018, I’ve covered film locations, shared love letters to my favorite scenes, and highlighted little details that make this film extra…
If I had a nickel for every time I’ve watched Twin Peaks, I’d be dead. As part of my More Missing Pieces series, I’m taking a closer look at scenes from the Twin Peaks Blu-ray set released in 2014. On that set, you’ll find short videos edited around a singular theme (e.g. “the Woods,” “Coffee,”…
