In 2014, long-time Twin Peaks fans were treated to David Lynch’s The Missing Pieces, nearly 90 minutes of deleted or extended scenes from his 1992 theatrical release of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. One of those brief scenes included Dr. Lawrence Jacoby (Russ Tamblyn) speaking with Laura Palmer via the telephone. I always felt Jacoby’s beard look…
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…
Twin Peaks Blog would not exist without the incredible websites that were around long before mine. Like the Bookhouse Boys, I’m now continuing the work started by those before me. I’ve mentioned the defunct InTwinPeaks.com that sparked my hunt to find all of the film locations. Another essential site launched in 1999 was Dugpa.com. A…
One thing I loved about Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was seeing memories shared from the television series brought to life. Take James’ last time he saw Laura Palmer. While he explains what happened during the Pilot and Episode 1.001, it was even more heartbreaking to see the scene replayed in real time during…
One film location I couldn’t wait to visit upon my return to Snoqualmie Valley last fall was the Mt. Si Motel. This location served as the spot of the Red Diamond City Motel in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. It also served as The Dutchman’s in Twin Peaks Part 15 from Season 3 on Showtime….

A great example is a Twin Peaks-inspired advertisement from Acme Supermarkets that briefly ran in the Philadelphia Daily News around on…
Happy Halloween! For this spooky holiday, I’m taking a closer look at a scene that was allegedly filmed for Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me on this day in 1991. Unlike my previous call sheet analysis from November 1, details about this scene come from a brief mention in the official press release for David Lynch’s 1992…
Let’s set the way back machine to 2014. The excellent Welcome to Twin Peaks website published an article about a missing scene that took place outside the Palmer House in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The article contained images by Everett, Washington resident Anthony P. Anderson who witnessed several scenes being shot on September…
Five locations served as the setting for Twin Peaks High School. The second of these locations is found in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The Pilot used Mount Si High School in Snoqualmie as the backdrop. For the film, the crew traveled to Snohomish High School in Snohomish, Washington. Both high schools have one…
