This article started with a prompt by fellow Bookhouse Boy and talented musician Daniel Knox (known for “Half Heart: Songs from Twin Peaks”). He asked on Twitter if anyone had a high-resolution image of the cover to “Diane … The TWIN PEAKS Tapes of AGENT COOPER.” Down the rabbit hole I went and ended up…
My analysis on Twin Peaks on home video continues with a look at the Laserdisc release of the International Pilot in the United States. Like their close cousins vinyl album covers, Laserdisc cover artwork offered a fantastic canvas to present some stunning artwork. This may be one of my favorite packaging designs from all of the…
Just two days after Twin Peaks Day in 2018, I jumped into the blogging world by launching TwinPeaksBlog.com. Today is the third anniversary of what has become a personal journal through my obession with David Lynch and Mark Frost’s groundbreaking series, Twin Peaks. To commemorate the occasion, I’m reflecting on the past year and launching a new…
The first character seen on screen in Twin Peaks is Josie Packard, who is sitting at her vanity applying makeup on the morning Laura Palmer’s body was discovered by Pete Martell. The scene is supposed to take place in her bedroom at the Blue Pine Lodge, home of the Martell’s and the widow Mrs. Packard. Thanks to the…

I spent five days visiting numerous film locations in both Snoqualmie Valley and on Bainbridge Island across Puget Sound from…
While recently researching images for the Costuming Peaks article about Shelly Johnson’s outfit from Season 1, I became enamored with her robe. It first appears in the Pilot Episode and would be carried over to other scenes in the first two seasons. I wondered just how many robes were seen in Twin Peaks. Good news…
It’s okay to have your mind on Shelly Johnson for a moment when reading this Costuming Peaks. I’m examining the outfits worn by the talented Mädchen Amick in Season 1 of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks.
This past week, I woke up from a dream with the idea for this article (no rock throwing was involved). Since David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks first aired on the ABC Television Network in April 1990, there have been many variations on the series logo. Granted, some of these variations are based on graphic…
After all these years of being a Twin Peaks fan, there are certain images stick out in my mind. In particular, I remember many scenes with James Marshall as Laura Palmer’s secret boyfriend, James Hurley. While some have joked about his role, he really does give an emotionally-charged and powerful performance in all three seasons plus Twin…
