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. Thanks to Brother Jer from Twin Peaks Archive, we have an idea of what scenes were shot on that first day in North…
I recently shared a video of the Miss Twin Peaks contest from Episode 2021 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…
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before – a FBI Mobile Crime Van Driver and a Medic walk into Deer Meadow Sheriff’s Department in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me only to discover that they have been miscredited for years. This article originally set out to discuss a film location from my favorite David Lynch…
Happy Halloween! For this spooky holiday, I’m taking a closer look at a scene that was allegedly filmed for Twin Peaks – Fire Walk With Me on this day in 1991.
