With the passage of time, my fascination of how Mark Frost, David Lynch and the entire Twin Peaks crew created the show continues growing. I love understanding how exactly the show was assembled. Thanks to a production memo from a DVD extra, we learn which “insert shots” were captured on November 20, 1989 during production…
Production for David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me started on September 4, 1991 in Snoqualmie, Washington at the former Riverside Mobile Home Park serving as the Fat Trout Trailer Park.

But let’s take a closer look…

Matt Haywood (@TwinPeaksSounds) is one of those individuals whom I’ve connected via social media. He loves decoding David Lynch and Mark Frost’s mysteries as much as I do. He recently solved one…
I recently acquired a press kit from Germany for Twin Peaks – Der Film or Twin Peaks – The Film. This was the German name of David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece Twin Peaks – Fire Walk With Me, which was released in theatres on August 20. Using Google Translate, I was able to translate all the copy…
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.
