While school may be out for the summer, Twin Peaks High School takes center stage with a new officially licensed collection of apparel and accessories from Paramount Shop. From t-shirts to a backpack, you’ll find something to show off your Steeplejack spirit.
Growing up in the 1980s, I vividly recall anti-drunk driving campaigns led by Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (M.A.D.D.) and Students Against Drunk Drivers (S.A.D.D.). Drunk driving and alcohol-related traffic accidents had become an epidemic which needlessly took the lives of so many young people. To combat this issue, Reader’s Digest magazine launched a nationwide contest…
It’s been more than 16 months since David Lynch transcended to another plane and frankly, I’m still not over his passing. I guess that’s why a new t-shirt from Austin, Texas-based Feels So Good caught my eye. This Comfort Colors tee summarizes how I’m feeling with each passing day – I miss David Lynch. I…
As part of my extensive research into Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, I maintain multiple open investigations into the details about my beloved television show. I may start a research project only to return to it years later. I’ve discovered that if I wait, sometimes the stars turn and the mystery is revealed. This…
For more than three decades, I’ve wondered about the “RASW” decal affixed to the front door of the Double R Diner best seen in the Twin Peaks pilot. I figured the sticker on the glass door was something found at the actual Mar-T Cafe (known today as Twede’s Cafe). It was something added by the crew…
On June 10, 1991, the ABC Television Network aired the final two episodes of Mark Frost and David Lynch’s groundbreaking series, Twin Peaks. Episode 2.021 (#28) and 2.022 (#29) were shown back-to-back during an ABC Monday Night Movie event. There were plenty of commentary from reporters about the ending of the series that once took viewers…
When David Lynch and Mark Frost cast Piper Laurie in the role of Catherine Martell, it was a big deal. This incredibly talented actress had a long acting career before she joined the groundbreaking series in the early 1990s. In early 1991, reporter Joey Berlin published a profile of Laurie for the Copley News Service….
One of the earliest articles on Twin Peaks Blog was about artwork by English artist Jon Atwood displayed on the Double R Diner set. This article kicked off years of research into identifying props and other set decorations (there’s even a page dedicated to this work now). I love identifying these set pieces as they…
It’s getting close to bed time so let’s all say “good night” to Special Agent Dale Cooper. This publicity photo was scanned from a photo slide I acquired via an online auction. It’s a still photo taken during Twin Peaks episode 1.002 just before Cooper’s strange dreams of the Red Room, Laura Palmer’s cousin, BOB…
I am still fascinated that several of my Snoqualmie Falls postcards are more than 120 years old (granted, I also think 20 years ago is the 1970s). A sacred site to the Snoqualmie Tribe, this 268-foot waterfall in the town of Snoqualmie is the second most visited natural landmark in Washington state behind Mount Rainier….
