I’m continuing my quest to document even some of the most obscure things in Twin Peaks such as Teresa Banks’ evidence box from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. While watching my favorite part of the film again – those first 30 minutes when Special Agents Chet Desmond and Sam Stanley visit Deer Meadow – I…
After sharing details about the film location for The Power and The Glory bar from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, I gave this location and The Pink Room the “Vacant Peaks” treatment. There weren’t many scenes without people but there are certainly some iconic shots including the one seen above. And in case you missed…
I’ve previously mentioned how much I adore Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me – it’s easily my favorite David Lynch film. You can probably imagine my delight when I finally saw The Missing Pieces in 2014, which contained extended and deleted scenes from this incredibly emotional film. One of those “pieces” was a scene where…
In the first two parts of Twin Peaks on Showtime, we are introduced to the William (Bill) and Phyllis Hastings who live in the town of Buckhorn, South Dakota. These scenes were actually shot at a private residence in southern California. Let’s take a closer look.
In Twin Peaks Part 12 on Showtime, Sarah Palmer has a strange shopping experience at Keri’s Handi-Mart. This is the only time we see the grocery store in the series. While it’s not included in the “Twin Peaks Access Guide to the Town” or mentioned at any other time in the series, the scene is…
One thing I love about Twin Peaks is meeting other Bookhouse Boys and Gals who are just as passionate as me about the little things that make the show both wonderful and strange. During a recent visit to southern California, I spent a day with fellow film location hunter Ivan Bukta looking for the best spots…
In Twin Peaks Part 6 on Showtime, Special Agent Albert Rosenfield tells Deputy Director Gordon Cole that he knows where Diane Evans, Cooper’s long-time secretary, drinks. In the pouring rain, he sets out to find her at Max Von’s Bar in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In reality, the bar – Casey’s Irish Pub – is located in…
In honor of the second anniversary of the premiere of Twin Peaks on Showtime, I’m giving Ruth Davenport’s apartment the Vacant Peaks treatment. This Buckhorn, South Dakota location was only seen in Part 1 which makes this article a short one (there weren’t many shots without people). In reality, her apartment was shot at a…
After escaping Windom Earle, Major Briggs is found wandering out of the woods by Deputy Hawk in Episode 2.021. Like many scenes from Season 2 (Glastonbury Grove, Audrey Horne and John Justice Wheeler’s picnic, etc.), this brief interaction was shot at Franklin Canyon Park in Los Angeles, California. I visited this location on July 13,…
In Twin Peaks episode 1.001, Norma Jennings pays a visit to the Twin Peaks General Store where she runs into the cotton ball-obsessed Nadine Hurley. This is the only time that the General Store appears in the entire series. In reality, the location used for this store – Valley Hardware Toys & Trains – was…
