In my quest to document the history of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks, I love finding things I’ve never seen. Recently, I picked up an advertising guide for Lynch’s 1992 film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me from Germany where it was known as Twin Peaks – Der Film (or Twin Peaks – The Film). Released on August…
