Like many Twin Peaks fans, I was saddened to hear of Piper Laurie’s passing at age 91 on October 14, 2023. Her Emmy-nominated performance as Catherine Martell in the show’s first two seasons was exceptional (her exchange with Sheriff Truman about her time on Pearl Lakes is my favorite scene). Originally named Rosetta Jacobs until the…
With the 30th Anniversary of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me on August 28 this year, I’m launching a new series titled “Reviewing Peaks.” These articles will take a look back at the reviews of David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece.

What a year! As the last seconds of this unprecedented and surreal year tick away, I’m reflecting on the highlights for TwinPeaksBlog.com in 2020.

It’s an exciting day at TwinPeaksBlog.com as another Bookhouse Boy is joining our writing staff. I met Jason McMahan virtually through our shared interest in identifying props used in David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show.

The killer is never apprehended, and, after experiencing dark visions and supernatural encounters, Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) chillingly predicts that the culprit will claim another life. Meanwhile, in the…

In June 2020, we saw a month-long art collection on Society6. More recently, a 30th Anniversary coffee blend was released by Colorado-based Allegro Coffee.

This year has been a surreal one to say the least. It’s become very clear to me that it’s important to celebrate the loved ones in our lives. It’s with a heavy heart that I write this Love Letter to Galyn Görg, who died at the age of 55 on July 14, 2020 (her birthday…
By now, you should know of my intense obsession with David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. This 1992 theatrical follow-up to the 1990-91 series has become my all-time favorite Lynch film. If I had a nickel for every time I’ve seen it, I’d be dead. Recently, I was delighted to discover HBOMax has the…
