By now if you have been following Twin Peaks Blog, you’ll know I love discussing, researching and visiting film locations from Twin Peaks. While there are many actual locations to explore in Washington, California and a handful of other states, there are several spots that I’ll never be able to visit unless I invent a…
In Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Carl Rodd, manager of the original Fat Trout Trailer Park, delivered his famous line to Special Agents Desmond and Stanley: “I’ve already gone places. I just want to stay where I am.” At the New Fat Trout Trailer in season 3, we catch a glimpse at one of…
The thing I love about writing for Twin Peaks Blog is that I continue to discover things I’ve never noticed before. This time, I’m examining an iconic scene from the Pilot episode thanks to a short behind-the-scenes video I found on YouTube.
After driving to and through 430 miles in Twin Peaks Part 18 on Showtime, Special Agent Dale Cooper and Diane Evans arrive at a motel somewhere in the desert. This location, like several others from Season 3, was shot in southern California. Thanks to the motel’s sign, I easily found this location shortly after the original broadcast…
After leaving the Convenience Store in Twin Peaks Part 15 on Showtime, Mr. C and Richard Horne make their way to a spot in western Montana at the beginning of Part 16. Thanks to a tweet from Kyle MacLachlan exactly one year ago today, I was able to locate the film location for what I’m calling…
On May 26, 2019, fellow Twin Peaks location hunter Ivan Bukta and I set out for a day of film location visits in southern California. The sky was overcast and the weatherman predicted rain (this time, he wasn’t wrong), yet this didn’t deter us from an exciting day visiting more than 15 locations (I ended up…
In Twin Peaks Part 18 on Showtime, there is a brief establishing shot of the city limit sign for Odessa, Texas. This is shown just after Richard/Cooper leaves the hotel where he and Linda/Diane stayed. This location is actually in Texas and thanks to Google Maps, I have some details from the area.
I recently shared how the aerial footage of the FBI jet in flight from Twin Peaks Parts 7 and 9 was taken from promotional footage provided by Gulfstream Aerospace. The interiors for this location were shot using a set provided by Air Hollywood located in Pacoima, California. Here’s how I discovered this location.
In Episode 2010, Nadine Butler Hurley tries out for cheerleading at the Twin Peaks High School field. This spot is the fifth location used for Twin Peaks High School scenes. It’s located down the way from Franklin Canyon Park, home to Glastonberry Grove and Walking After Maddy’s Death just to name a few.
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 Episode 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…
