The Palmer House plays an important role in David Lynch’s 1992 film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. For the Pilot Episode, Lynch and team used the interiors for this home. For Seasons 1 and 2, a home in Monroe, Washington served as the home in the exterior establishing shots. For this article, I examine all…
I still vividly recall Mr. C’s first appearance in Season 3 on Showtime. Kyle MacLachlan’s appearance in Part 1 at Buella’s Place was frightening, yet left me wanting more. Like that otherworldly scene with Otis, Buella and the gang, the Southern California location where they shot this scene is also shrouded in mystery.
One thing I loved about Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was seeing memories shared from the television series brought to life. Take James’ last time he saw Laura Palmer. While he explains what happened during the Pilot and Episode 1.001, it was even more heartbreaking to see the scene replayed in real time during…
One of the most heartbreaking scenes in Season 3 takes place in Part 6. A boy is killed by Richard Horne while the child’s mother watches the horror unfold.

We return to Snoqualmie Valley in this article for a look at the film location where three brothers find Miriam Sullivan in Twin Peaks -Part 11 on Showtime. This location and scene have two really cool connections to David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show.
I finally uploaded a nearly 16-minute video from my first visit to Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington. This place was my first visit to a film location and, needless to say, I was beside myself. So set the way back machine to August 9, 1996. My best friend Joe Neff and (at the time) newly…
As the celebration of the 30th Anniversary of Twin Peaks continues, I return to one of the first film locations I visited in August 1996 – Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington. This location served as The Great Northern Hotel interior for the Pilot episode. I’m focusing on the Concierge Desk, which first appears in the…
David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks celebrates 30 years on April 8, 2020. Two years ago, I published an article examining the iconic “Welcome to Twin Peaks” sign. Since that time, my research for TwinPeaksBlog.com has become even more in depth, especially for the many film location in Washington State and southern California. Today,…
