As part of my extensive research into Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, I maintain multiple open investigations into the details about my beloved television show. I may start a research project only to return to it years later. I’ve discovered that if I wait, sometimes the stars turn and the mystery is revealed. This…
For more than three decades, I’ve wondered about the “RASW” decal affixed to the front door of the Double R Diner best seen in the Twin Peaks pilot. I figured the sticker on the glass door was something found at the actual Mar-T Cafe (known today as Twede’s Cafe). It was something added by the crew…
One of the earliest articles on Twin Peaks Blog was about artwork by English artist Jon Atwood displayed on the Double R Diner set. This article kicked off years of research into identifying props and other set decorations (there’s even a page dedicated to this work now). I love identifying these set pieces as they…
In Part 4 of Twin Peaks: The Return, Dougie Jones has a moment of self-reflection in his bathroom mirror following a great release. For years, I’ve wondered what framed floral image was hanging on the bathroom wall as Dougie approached the mirror. It didn’t take long for me to locate the original artwork first created in…
A prop master’s work isn’t always flashy. Often, they are tasked with making pragmatic choices to flesh out a scene with items that the audience won’t even notice. These are some of the stories I’ve most enjoyed as I’ve gotten to know Twin Peaks prop master Jeff Moore, whose work in the second season both…
The final free panel discussion for the Real Twin Peaks 2026 was held on Sunday, February 22 at Boxley’s in North Bend, Washington. Twin Peaks Blog author and long-time prop collector Vinnie Guidera spoke with Twin Peaks prop master Jeff Moore and assistant prop master Stephen Gibson about their work on the show’s second season.
The Jones’ house in Twin Peaks: The Return is filled with lots of little treasures that capture the life of a modern family living in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sonny Jim attends school just like every other child his age. Naturally, he had accessories like a lunch bag to accompany him during the school day. In Twin…
I recently shared a publicity photo of Wendy Robie who played Nadine Hurley which was taken on the set of the Palmer house. Thanks to that image, I located the specific brand of COTTON BALLS she used to make her completely silent drape runners.
Not every prop used in Twin Peaks steals the scene, but each one has a story. When I acquired a small collection of production-used items from prop master Jeff Moore a few years ago, some of them were a mystery even to him. This innocuous little envelope was one of those mysteries.
Modern technology has helped me identify props used in David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks for years. I can’t imagine finding things as easily in the early 1990s when all I had were VHS cassettes and no access to the internet. Despite the technical marvels of today, I still rely on what’s available online…
