If you’ve been following Twin Peaks Blog , you should know I love discussing some of the most obscure things from Twin Peaks. In particular, I’m on a mission to locate every film location, even those that appear for only a handful of seconds. Thanks to my fellow Bookhouse Boy and Gal, Ivan Bukta and…
In Episode 2.009, Donna Hayward and James Hurley have an intense conversation at what the former InTwinPeaks.com site dubbed a “Wooded Road.” You can find the film location in Franklin Canyon Park, which is a popular spot for many Twin Peaks locations from Season 2. I explored this spot on May 26, 2019 with fellow…
In Twin Peaks Episode 1004, there is an extremely brief establishing shot of a State Prison in Washington where Hank Jennings served time. This shot is only seen once in the entire series and is actually located in Monroe, Washington.
I’ve previously discussed how some props, such as green coffee mugs, from the original Twin Peaks series made a leap to The Return on Showtime. Here’s a look at another prop that appears both in the Pilot episode and Part 7 from the third season.
Special Agent Dale Cooper: “Wanna know why I’m whittling?” Sheriff Harry S. Truman: “Okay, I’ll bite again. Why are you whittling?” Cooper: “Because that’s what you do in a town where a yellow light still means slow down and not speed up.” The brief exchange in the Pilot episode between Agent Cooper and Sheriff Truman…
For years, I’ve suspected the morning after the fire at the Packard Sawmill in Twin Peaks episode 2.001 was actual footage from a real fire that destroyed part of the Weyerhaeuser Sawmill in Snoqualmie, Washington in Feb. 1989. Thanks to a post on the Snoqualmie Valley Historical Museum Facebook page, I have confirmed my suspicions with…
In the Twin Peaks pilot, there are a handful of interior scenes that take place at The Great Northern Hotel. Those scenes were filmed at Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington which also doubled as the Packard family residence known as the Blue Pine Lodge. One of those scenes was Ben Horne (Richard Beymer) speaking with…
An unofficial Twin Peaks pop-up experience has taken over The Summer Place Bar in San Francisco, California from Nov. 12-17, 2024. Thanks to a fellow Bookhouse Boy Jon White, I have photos to share from this incredibly immersive experience located at 801 Bush Street and Mason Street.
My examination of “TV Guide” magazines published during the first season of Twin Peaks continues with the May 12-18, 1990 issue. This issue was a Mother’s Day special and featured a review of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s groundbreaking television series along with one black and white advertisement for episode 1.006.
By the beginning of May 1990, Twin Peaks had been airing for a few weeks on the ABC Television Network. This gave “TV Guide” reporters enough time to write several stories for a special report about David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wildly popular first season for their the May 5-11 issue.
