Despite being a Twin Peaks fan for more than 30 years, I am continually finding new details about the show. This time, I am returning to the original production of “Northwest Passage,” the original name of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s pilot episode. The crew visited Everett, Washington on March 10, 1989 to shoot scenes…
From the beginning, the relationship between Special Agent Dale Cooper and Sheriff Truman was a special one. It’s best exemplified in the pilot episode when the law enforcement duo is on a stakeout at the Roadhouse. This scene was conveniently shot just outside the location in Fall City, Washington. But let’s take a closer look…
Doubling is a common theme that runs throughout Twin Peaks. There are “two Chalfont trailers” at the Fat Trout Trailer Park, Laura Palmer’s cousin, Madeline Ferguson, looks almost exactly like her. The same thought can be applied to Laura Palmer’s bedroom – there are two versions with one being a set for the 1992 feature film…
Today, I’m continue my quest to identify props used in Laura Palmer’s bedroom from David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. A few years ago, I found the floral still life above Laura’s dresser where she hid her secret diary. Now I have identified the frame floral print located at her bedside.
One thing I love finding during my exhaustive research into Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is when real world items cross into David Lynch’s fictional world. A great example of this is the heart-shaped wreath found on the front door of the Palmer’s house.
With February 24 just a few short days away, I returned to Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington to visit the Twin Peaks film location of the log where Laura Palmer’s body was first spotted by Pete Martell. Upon arriving at the Lodge on February 22, 2023, I was greeted with a rather surprising sight –…
For the past several years on Twitter, I’ve seen the iconic image of Special Agent Dale Cooper giving a thumbs-up at The Roadhouse every hour on my timeline. I’ve long wondered what painting is behind him in this shot from Episode 2.009 in Season 2. Today, I have the answer.
I’m returning the Tremond house location today with a closer look inside the house from Episodes 2002 and 2009 of Twin Peaks. Unlike other home interiors from the first two seasons of the show which used soundstages, these scenes were shot inside a private residence in Agoura Hills, California.
As a companion piece to the film location article about the Tremond house exterior in Twin Peaks Season 2, I’m taking a closer look at the exterior of Harold Smith’s apartment. These two articles are joined because the houses were part of the same property in Agoura Hills, California. Unfortunately, both houses were destroyed in November 2018…
I’ve previously discussed how the Woolsey Fire of November 2018 destroyed the iconic gazebo from the first two seasons of Twin Peaks. I’m sad to report that another three locations were lost in that devastating fire – the Tremond, Smith and Briggs homes from the original broadcast in the early 1990s. Thankfully Charles from the former…
