Twin Peaks fans from around the world descended on Fayetteville, Arkansas for the inaugural Fayetteville Comic Show on February 29 – March 1, 2020. Upon hearing that several stars from the show, including Sheryl Lee, James Marshall, Eric Da Re and others, were attending, I booked a flight. While many fellow Bookhouse Boys and Gals and…
This past week, Twin Peaks Blog celebrated its second anniversary. On February 26, 2018, I started this adventure documenting my obsession a look at Agent Cooper’s drive into the town of Twin Peaks. Nearly two years later, I visited the film location to record this video. Wild! Needless to say, it’s been another fantastic year….
On Twin Peaks Day 2020, Rachel and Max, the new owners of Twede’s Cafe (aka the Double R Diner) in North Bend, Washington shared the news they were taking over the iconic restaurant from Kyle Twede.

Twin Peaks Day 2020 commemorates the day Laura Palmer’s body was found on a rocky beach by Blue Pine Lodge in 1989. It’s also a good day to revisit the episode that started it all – the Twin Peaks Pilot which aired on April 8, 1990. For this Then & Now article, I return to Laura’s house…

I recently shared a video of the Miss Twin Peaks contest from Episode 2.021 with the dark frames removed and the strobe effect minimized. It was neat to see the action unfold without the constant flashing. As it turns out, this short clip was also beneficial to fellow Twin Peaks fans who have sensitivity to…
The first character in Twin Peaks that speaks is Pete Martell (Jack Nance). After telling his wife Catherine that he’s going fishing, he exits the Blue Pine Lodge kitchen and walks along a path. The sound of a lonesome foghorn hangs in the air just before Pete spots something unusual. The rest is history. For this…
