One of the more unique items I recently added to my Twin Peaks collection is a movie theatre mylar for David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Mylars were used to indicate where a movie was being shown inside a movie house. Thanks to long-time collector of mylars, Original-Movie-Mylars on eBay, I learned more…
In early May 1990, the first season of Twin Peaks was halfway finished. The show had taken the United States by storm and series’ actors were popping up in a variety of magazines. On May 7, 1990, People Weekly magazine published a short blurb about Dana Ashbrook who played Bobby Briggs in the show.
My examination of “TV Guide” magazines published during the first season of Twin Peaks continues with the May 12-18, 1990 issue.
