As a Twin Peaks fan of more than three decades, I love finding things I’ve never seen. For example, I acquired this autographed card from Ebay which features Russ Tamblyn as Dr. Lawrence Jacoby in David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show. It’s a great example of early ephemera from a time before…
I continue my quest to document the many postcards from the Real Twin Peaks of Snoqualmie Valley, Washington. This time, I found a postcard of Snoqualmie Falls from 1906 by James Bert Barton (also known as J.B. Barton). Despite exhaustive research, I found little information about this Seattle-based photographer from the early 1900s.
Sheryl Lee’s gave an astounding performance in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. With each viewing, I am increasingly impressed with her abilities as an actress to convey such raw emotion as Laura Palmer. It’s no surprise then this stunning publicity photo created for the film captures Laura’s spirit and strength as she…
Books are some of my favorite things to identify in Twin Peaks as they are a bridge between the real world and the fictional wonderful and strange world. In Part 6 of Twin Peaks: The Return, Sonny Jim Jones is seen reading a book in bed when his dad Dougie Jones returns home from Lucky 7…
I love finding ephemera from the Japanese market about Twin Peaks. David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show was a mega-hit in the country. The design and packaging of everything from Japan always exceeds my expectations. I recently acquired a bookmark-like flyer about the release of the show’s first season on DVD on October…
Work pulled me away from the wonderful and strange Twin Peaks these past few weeks. I’m thrilled to return to town with a new discovery from my favorite David Lynch film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Thanks to fellow Bookhouse Boy Matthew Haywood, we now know which Washington artist created a print hanging in the Deer…
The death of David Lynch did not go unnoticed here in the UK. Since March, two national cinema chains, Everyman and Picturehouse, have embarked on year long retrospectives of his theatrical work, re-releasing one film a month each in order. Picturehouse are even pairing each one with another film that could be said to have…
In anticipation of the second season premiere of Twin Peaks in September 1990, Kitsap Sun reporter Julie McCormick published two stories about locations from the Real Twin Peaks of Washington state on September 27, 1990. The first story features a visit to the former Mar-T Cafe in North Bend known today as Twede’s Cafe. This small town…
During the Real Twin Peaks 2025 event in Snoqualmie Valley, Washington, a special panel discussion was held about Twin Peaks fashion. I was unable to attend this panel as I was hosting one of two film location tours. Thankfully, event co-organizer and fellow Twin Peaks Blog author Mary Hütter captured video from Lauren Lowell and Laura…
The first half hour of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is a dreamland full of my favorite characters, scenes and dialogue. During their late night (or is that early morning?) to get something to eat, Special Agents Chet Desmond and Sam Stanley encounter the Old Guy at Hap’s who inquires about a “little…
