Twin Peaks Location – Bridge in Pilot and Part 18
If there was a cousin to Ronette Pulaski’s bridge, it would most likely be the Meadowbrook Bridge that’s seen in both the Pilot Episode and Part 18 on Showtime. This historic bridge is located just down the street from Ronette’s, and has the distinction of being seen in the first and the last episode of Twin…
Twin Peaks Film Location – Palmer House Kitchen
The exploration of the home used as the Palmer House in Twin Peaks and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me continues with a look at the kitchen. It’s fitting we begin our look inside here since it’s the first room seen early on in the Pilot Episode.
Twin Peaks Film Location – Palmer House in Everett, Washington
The Palmer House is one of the most iconic locations in Twin Peaks. Much like the “two Chalfonts” at the Fat Trout Trailer Park, two houses were used – an exterior of one in Monroe, Washington and the interior and exterior of another in Everett, Washington. This article is the first a series examining the important spot…
Setting the Stage – Palmer House Exteriors in Fire Walk With Me
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…
Twin Peaks Location – Buella’s Place
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.
Twin Peaks Location – Sparkwood and 21
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…
Twin Peaks Location – Accident Intersection From Part 6
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. The scene was shot in Snoqualmie, Washington in the same intersection that was featured in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. After visiting the location…
Twin Peaks Location – The Mechanic in Part 8
In Twin Peaks Part 8 on Showtime, there is a brief scene of a mechanic who passes out after hearing the Woodsman speak on KPJK radio. The scene may be short but it’s part of my never-ending quest to identify all of the film locations from this series. Thanks to fellow Bookhouse Boys, I learned…
Twin Peaks Location – Big Ed’s Gas Farm in Season 3
Big Ed’s Gas Farm moves around in Twin Peaks. This film location joins a list of other spots, such as the Fat Trout Trailer Park and the Palmer house, that were shot in multiple locations. For the Pilot, the location was found along Preston-Fall City Road in Washington. Episode 1005 used the Newcomb’s Ranch parking…
Twin Peaks Location – Finding Miriam Sullivan in Part 11
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.
