One of the final official events for Real Twin Peaks 2024 was the Twin Tilts Pinball Tournament at Volition Brewing Co. in North Bend, Washington. This location served as Nadine Butler Hurley’s Run Silent, Run Drapes shop in Twin Peaks The Return before it was converted into an outstanding local brewery. The cool part about…
As frequent Twin Peaks Blog readers have surely surmised, my approach toward identifying props and set decorations is to leave no stone unturned. I may never run out of things to write about, because the Hurley house has A LOT of stones.
If you have followed Twin Peaks Blog for awhile, you’ll know that my fellow authors Vinnie Guidera and Jason Mattson love discussing, identifying and even recreating props from the series. That is one reason I loved chatting with Jeff Moore, who served as the Prop Master for the second season, during the Real Twin Peaks…
In a few short days, fans from near and far will gather in the Snoqualmie Valley for the second annual Real Twin Peaks event. One of the things I’m most looking forward to in this jam-packed weekend is joining my fellow Twin Peaks Blog authors Steven Miller and Jason Mattson on a panel with season…

One story I’ve been tracking down for nearly 27 years comes from the production of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. During the 1996 Twin Peaks Fan Festival, I heard a story about Laura Palmer’s soggy cereal. Thanks to a conversation with a reporter from the Daily Herald in Everett, Washington, I now know the origin…
Agent Cooper’s affinity for handheld gadgets is established very quickly in the Twin Peaks pilot episode. His arsenal contains a trusty microcassette recorder, a lighted magnifying glass, and a pocket calculator. But the calculator is more than meets the eye.
One thing I love about identifying props and details in Twin Peaks is that some of these things are still found at film locations today. For this article, I’m taking a look at a background prop from the Blue Pine Lodge – a Thunderbird totem pole at home to the Martell family and Josie Packard. This…
