I love when the real world of Snoqualmie Valley, Washington intersects with the wonderful and strange world of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks. In Twin Peaks: The Return, there are several hand-painted murals seen across the street from the Double R Diner (known as Twede’s Cafe in North Bend). Local Artist Richard “Dick” Burhans created…
There are a lot of watches and clocks seen throughout Twin Peaks: The Return, from Mr. C’s car to the American Girl. One of the first timepieces seen is from Part 1 and is worn by Sam Colby (Benjamin Rosenfield). He was hired to watch The Glass Box in New York City. Sam’s watch was…
In David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Laura Palmer and Donna Hayward travel north with Buck and Tommy to a backroom bar called The Power and The Glory. This sparsely decorated club is bathed in a pink hue. In a moment of clarity, Laura rushes to save her best friend Donna from falling deeper…
The third annual Real Twin Peaks event is just around the corner and fans from all over are preparing to celebrate the show where it all began in the scenic Snoqualmie Valley. One tradition I look forward to continuing is our yearly prop panel where fellow Twin Peaks Blog author Steven Miller and I will…
I love all the little surprises found throughout Twin Peaks. With each viewing, I find some new detail to explore and share with fellow fans. In episode 1.007, director Lesli Linka Glatter made an uncredited cameo as the One-Eyed Jacks Seamstress tending to Audrey Horne. While taking a closer look at this scene, I identified several…
Looking back at the first two seasons of Twin Peaks, I can’t help but think some mysteries may have been solved or documented differently if today’s modern technology was used. Take the instant photograph Dr. Hayward takes of Major Briggs’ neck in episode 2.013. If this scene was shot today, Doc would have used his mobile…
More than three decades after its debut, the mysteries from David Lynch’s masterpiece Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me are still being solved. Using modern technology combined with a tenacious spirit, fellow Bookhouse Boy Matthew Haywood has helped discover Agent Sam Stanley’s Whiteman Machine and Laura Palmer’s textbook. Now, he’s found a match for Regional…
I’d like to think the official beer of Twin Peaks is Rainier Beer. At the time the first two seasons and David Lynch’s feature film were made, the taps were still flowing at the Washington state brewery. Today, the Rainier brand is owned and operated by Pabst Brewing Company and the beer is produced in California….
The first 35 minutes of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is some kind of wonderful fever dream. From Chris Isaak and Kiefer Sutherland’s performances to the strangeness of Deer Meadow, I return time and time again to these scenes. After identifying the Shyvers Multiphone in Hap’s Diner and Agent Sam Stanley’s “Whiteman Instrument”…
I’m still in a state of shock writing this article as one of my “Holy Grails” of Twin Peaks props is now identified thanks to help from fellow Bookhouse Boy Matthew Haywood. For years, I’ve searched for Special Agent Sam Stanley’s “Whiteman instrument” machine seen in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. I…
