With February 24 just a few short days away, I returned to Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington to visit the Twin Peaks film location of the log where Laura Palmer’s body was first spotted by Pete Martell. Upon arriving at the Lodge on February 22, 2023, I was greeted with a rather surprising sight –…
A handheld tape recorder is likely the first prop that comes to mind when one thinks of Twin Peaks. I’ve previously detailed the three recorders in Agent Cooper’s arsenal, but he isn’t the only character who makes use of such gadgets. To my infinite delight, I recently acquired Bobby Briggs’ screen-used Olympus microcassette recorder from…
On August 28, 1992, my favorite David Lynch film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, celebrates its 30th Anniversary. If I had a nickel for every time I’ve seen this film since my first viewing in October 1993, I’d be dead. It reminds me of a warm Sunday afternoon in late summer, with its mesmerizing…
With the 30th Anniversary of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me on August 28 this year, I’m launching a new series titled “Reviewing Peaks.” These articles will take a look back at the reviews of David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece.

Imagine being invited to a party in downtown Los Angeles, California to celebrate the release of a new motion picture. Dining on “apps and zerts,” you rub elbows with the film’s stars and raise a glass (or two) before seeing this newest creation on the silver screen. Except, there is no screening and the party…
With the 30th Anniversary of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me on August 28, 2022, I scoured newspapers to find print advertisements from the initial release of the film. These ads use variations of an iconic image of Sheryl Lee playing Laura Palmer. Here is a sampling from August and September 1992.
Since launching Twin Peaks Blog in February 2018, I’ve been documenting all historical aspects of my favorite television show and David Lynch movie, no matter how obscure. That’s why I’m thrilled to share this latest gem from late August 1992. If you were in Southern California at the time, you could have raised a glass…
I never tire of watching the opening credits to David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece, Twin Peaks – Fire Walk With Me. The slow zoom out from a snow-filled television screen while a sultry jazz trumpet plays Angelo Badalamenti’s music is hypnotic. For years, I’ve wondered what television set was used for this scene. Well, grab your Swanson…
David Lynch did not play the Curious Woman in his 1992 film, Twin Peaks – Fire Walk With Me. She was played by the late Ingrid Brucato, a dog show-enthusiast turned movie extra who lived in the Pacific Northwest. Whew! I am glad that is out of the way. As a Twin Peaks fan in the…
There are so many delightful characters in David Lynch’s 1992 film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, particularly in the first 35 minutes of the film. During a visit to Deer Meadow, Washington, Special Agents Chet Desmond and Sam Stanley get food at Hap’s Diner really early (or really late) in the morning. While at the…
