Since launching Twin Peaks Blog in February 2018, I’ve enjoyed offering a place for like-minded Bookhouse Boys and Gals to share their discoveries. Matt Haywood (@TwinPeaksSounds) is one of those individuals whom I’ve connected via social media. He loves decoding David Lynch and Mark Frost’s mysteries as much as I do. He recently solved one…
In 2014, long-time Twin Peaks fans were treated to David Lynch’s The Missing Pieces, nearly 90 minutes of deleted or extended scenes from his 1992 theatrical release of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.

Since launching Twin Peaks Blog in February 2018, I’ve enjoyed exploring the origins of Twin Peaks lore by providing well-researched and fact-based articles.

I missed the original broadcast of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks when it aired on the ABC Television Network from 1990-1991. My journey into this town that is both wonderful and strange was guided by VHS borrowed from my local library and reruns on Bravo, the film and arts cable channel in 1993. Let’s…
I love uncovering new details about the making of my favorite David Lynch film – Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Thanks to an article by Greg Olson in a “Film Comment” magazine, we go behind the scenes at the Fat Trout Trailer park in September 1991.
After responding to a post on the Facebook group Lynchland Gang about Special Agent Sam Stanley’s “Whiteman Machine,” I decided to take a closer look at Teresa Banks’ autopsy scene in tiny Deer Meadow Sheriff’s Department morgue. This scene from David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me seems to have a few Missing Pieces…
I keep returning to the Fat Trout Trailer Park as seen in David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The film’s first 35 minutes has mesmerized me for decades now.
