As I continue building this archive of all things Twin Peaks, I love finding unique ephemera to add to the collection. This Image Entertainment update about new laserdiscs from March-April 1993 is a great example. The magazine was complimentary and not something many folks may save. Thankfully, I found this item in a lot of catalogs…
For more than a year on eBay, I would periodically see ‘TV Zone’ magazine with Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) and Sheriff Harry Truman (Michael Ontkean) on the front cover. I finally found a reasonably priced copy of this June 1991 issue of the now defunct monthly British magazine of cult television.
Lately, I’ve been sharing vintage postcards of Snoqualmie Falls from my extensive “Real Twin Peaks” collection from Snoqualmie Valley, Washington. In this age of digital communication and social media, modern day postcards are becoming more challenging to find. Yet, there are companies still producing them such as Hi-Way Distributing Corp. of Barberton, Ohio. As part…
This past year, I’ve been presenting postcards from the “Real Twin Peaks” of Snoqualmie Valley, WA. Many of these images feature the beautiful Snoqualmie Falls, a 268-foot waterfall that is seen by more than two-million visitors annually. I recently acquired an postcard printed by Impact Northwest from Woodinville, WA contianing a photo from notable Pacific…
With the arrival of Twin Peaks on Mubi, the iconic horror magazine “Fangoria” published a special collector’s edition featuring content from David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show. Senior Editor Meredith Borders recalled first seeing Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me discussed in issue #117 released from Oct. 1992. This prompted me to find that…
The former covered observation deck at Snoqualmie Falls in Snoqualmie, Washington only exists in postcards from the past. Constructed in the late 1960s by Puget Sound Power, the viewing area of the majestic 268-foot waterfall makes a small cameo in David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks. I acquired a postcard containing a photo by Clifford…
Anticipation was high for the return of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks on Sept. 30, 1990. Throughout the summer, ABC Television rebroadcast the first season between August and September. The official soundtrack was released on Sept. 11, 1990 and there was even a 30-minute television special that paired the series with short-lived Cop Rock. The TV…
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…
The year 1990 was a banner year for director and artist David Lynch. In April, his show with Mark Frost, Twin Peaks, debuted on the ABC Television Network. In May, his film Wild at Heart won the Palme d’Or at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival. On Oct. 1, Lynch graced the cover of Time Magazine. Here is a…

This definitive fan publication dutifully covered Twin Peaks and adjacent media from 1992 to 2005. Throughout their 75 issue run, editors John Thorne and Craig Miller arranged several contests where readers could write in to win…
